Another KING takes his place in the King of Balkan, and this time it’s a name that is instantly recognizable within the Thessaloniki poker community.

Giorgos Bouzoukis, better known at the tables as “Lebouzou,” is coming to the Balkan Poker Championship to wear the crown and join the battle of the Kings!

Anyone who has spent time at the poker tables of Thessaloniki over the past few years has most likely crossed paths with him. Lebouzou has logged countless hours at the tables, celebrated numerous victories, and built a respected reputation within the local poker scene.

His playing style has one quality that always makes him a dangerous opponent: he’s incredibly difficult to read.

He’s never afraid to get involved in big pots, can shift gears whenever the situation demands it, and once he builds a stack, he’s more than capable of causing serious problems for anyone at the table.

But his experience extends far beyond Thessaloniki’s local clubs. Lebouzou has also competed in larger live poker fields, proving that he can hold his own when the stakes, the pressure, and the level of competition rise.

This time, however, he arrives with a different role.

He arrives as a KING.
