The Russian poker series on PokerStars.net has reached the final elimination phase, with building excitement in Kiev. The RPS Grand Final highlights a collection of the best poker players in the world, battling for the grand prize at the Khreschatyk Club in the capital of Ukraine.  It all began in May, when Kirill Telezkin grabbed the lead with winnings of $171,350. Now the stakes are rising with the $2,750 buying Grand Final. The thrills continue from November 30 through December 6.

Other notable winners are Alexander Kuperman, who grabbed the August Russian Poker Series (RPS) Riga for 95,468 Euros and Frederich Dollenz who won 104,484 Euros in the recent October RPS Sharm-ElSheikh. These players made their mark and will be anticipating competitive play in Kiev. The three stars will be watching their chip count and their points build with a goal of becoming the RPS points leader overall.  The winner walks away with a 1-year PokerStars sponsorship that covers both online and live tournaments. The final prize is in the sight of both Zharko Alexey and Yaroshevski Igor who are separated by less than a point at the top of the leader board.
