Boris Angelov’s poker journey began online, where he was influenced by talented Bulgarian players, including his close friend Alex Kulev. Post-pandemic, he transitioned to live tournaments, marking his debut on the European Poker Tour (EPT) circuit in March 2022 at the EPT Prague Main Event, where he finished 59th.
Since then, he hasn’t missed an EPT event, demonstrating his commitment and passion for the game. At the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event, he earned his 20th bracelet event cash, ultimately finishing fifth for a career-best $2,500,000.
The Bulgarian poker player had just over $900,000 in live tournament cashes, according to The Hendon Mob. His largest prior score went for $663,565 when he finished second to Derk van Luijk in the EPT Monte Carlo Main Event just a few weeks before the 2024 WSOP began.
Since his massive WSOP Main Event score, Angelov has become a regular in high-roller events around Europe. In August 2024, he finished seventh in the €30,000 NLHE Super High Roller Warm Up at EPT Barcelona for €82,800, won the €10,300 NLHE Mystery Bounty for €110,400, finished sixth in the €2,000 NLHE Hyper Turbo Freezeout for €15,150, before banking €72,800 for an 11th place finish in the €10,300 NLHE High Roller.
Angelov cashed three times at the WSOP Paradise in December 2024 and started 2025 in good form, busting from a $10,100 NLHE PokerGO Tour event at ARIA Las Vegas in second for $179,800.
