Kirill Gerasimov (Russian: Кирилл Герасимов, born June 5, 1971 in Moscow, Soviet Union) is a Russian professional poker player.
Gerasimov worked as an insurance salesman in Moscow, and started entering poker tournaments throughout Europe in 2001. The Paradise Poker website backed Gerasimov in the World Poker Tour season 1 $25,000 championship event, where he took 2nd place to Alan Goehring to take home a $506,625 prize.
In June 2002, he won the second World Heads-Up Poker Championship in Vienna, winning €60,000 grand prize.
In May 2003, Gerasimov made his first World Series of Poker (WSOP) final table, finishing 6th in the $1,500 No Limit Hold-Em event and receiving a $24,000 prize. Other finalists in the tournament included eventual winner Amir Vahedi, T. J. Cloutier and Brad Daugherty.
In April 2004, Gerasimov returned to the WSOP and again made two final tables: a 5th-place finish ($30,060) in the $1,500 Pot Limit Hold-Em event featuring Huck Seed and Tony Bloom, and a 2nd-place finish ($100,000) in the $1,500 No Limit Hold-Em shootout event featuring John Juanda, Asher Derei and Daniel Negreanu.
He also made the money 4 times in the 2005 World Series of Poker, including a 2nd-place finish ($108,775) in the seven-card stud tournament, and he also made the money in the $10,000 Main Event for the first time, with his 444th-place finish earning $16,055.
