Career
[edit]Malinowski started playing poker seriously in 2014. He began playing freerolls and the lowest stakes offered for online cash games. Over the next two years, he managed to become a regular at mid to high stakes online cash games playing under the alias "limitless". In 2018, he won the World Championship of Online Poker $25K High Roller Turbo, winning $726,000 in the process.[1]
While on Joey Ingram's podcast, Malinowski offered a "heads-up challenge to anyone, playing while drunk".[2] In June 2020, Malinowski won the partypoker High Roller Club $25,500 Main Event winning $443,750 in the process.[3]
In August 2020, Malinowski won a $842,438 pot from Michael Addamo while playing NLHE on the poker site Natural8.[4] It became the largest online pot in NLHE history beating the previous record of $723,938 won by Di Dang against Tom Dwan in 2008.[5] The record was beaten just a few days later when Bosnian-born poker player Almedin "Ali" Imsirovic won a pot worth $974,631 while playing NLHE online.[6] Approximately one week later Malinowski won another pot worth $500,146 holding for a wheel.[7]
In May 2021, Malinowski won his first title in GGPoker's weekly Super MILLION$ tournament.[8] Later that month, GGPoker signed him as an ambassador for its newly launched Team Poland, part of the operator's expansion into the Polish market.[9]
In 2021, he won the first place prize of $3,690,000 at the Super High Roller Bowl Europe held in North Cyprus Turkish Republic (North Cyprus) becoming No. 2 on Poland's all-time money list.[10][11]
In May 2024, Malinowski won his first Triton title, taking down the $200,000 buy-in Super High Roller Series event in Montenegro for $4,789,000, defeating runner-up Adrian Mateos ($3,292,000) in a 93-entrant field.[12]
In September 2025, Malinowski swept two heads-up cash-game matches against Ossi "Monarch" Ketola at the Triton Super High Roller Series in Jeju, winning a combined $6,000,000 across a $2,000,000 buy-in match and a $4,000,000 buy-in match played the same day.[13]
As of 2026, Malinowski's total live tournament winnings exceed $13,680,000, the highest total on Poland's all-time money list.[14]
