Bill Perkins' High-Stakes Poker Adventures in 2021
Bill Perkins had an eventful year in high-stakes poker. He often played at NLHE $500/$1,000 limits, and his presence at the tables was always notable. In mid-2021, he played a match with Landon Tice and won $376,400. His December results, available on SmartHand, showed a mix of wins and losses, typical of high-stakes poker.
Dan Bilzerian discussed Bill Perkins' financial situation in a podcast, highlighting the risks and rewards of high-stakes gambling. Bilzerian mentioned that Perkins once had a net worth of $500 million but lost $350 million due to risky bets. He also noted that Perkins' friend Bob, who invested heavily in Bitcoin, is now worth around a billion dollars.
Other notable players also made their mark in 2021. Ludumann, an unknown player with a Russian flag, appeared on GG in July, playing exclusively PLO. ImagineKing, a well-known player, appeared on GG in December, playing multiple tables at $200/$400 limits. Sr12 played NL100k with a VPIP of 93 and had a notable session at the NL20k table, where he won a significant pot. Stefan Burakov and Viktor Malinovskiy had a high-stakes match that ended with Stefan's victory. Their match was marked by aggressive comments and eventually concluded with a friendly stream.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
