Perkusic's Hendon Mob profile shows results dating back to August 2013, mostly low-stakes events. He won his first five-figure prize in October 2018, finishing second in a €2,000 Pot-Limit Omaha event at the WSOPC Rozvadov festival, earning €28,222 ($32,593).

Most of Perkusic's in-the-money finishers are in PLO tournaments, including an impressive €260,325 ($264,746) score, his reward for winning a €10,200 PLO event during the 2022 PokerStars European Poker Tour Barcelona festival in August 2022.

In May 2023, the German finished third in a $25,000 Pot-Limit Omaha tournament at the Triton Poker Super High Roller Series in North Cyprus for $138,700.
