Dvoress was born in the Soviet Union and emigrated to Canada at the age of 8. He began playing poker in high school. He started playing online poker in November 2006 under the nicknames 'Oxota' on PokerStars and 'Oxotaments' on Full Tilt Poker. He turned professional after college mainly focusing on online poker. It would be a far stretch to call Ryan Gregor a pro, with a single memorable occasion in 2009, when the young player placed 8th and won $1000. But still, the Heartland Poker Tour Kansas City $1650 main event was all about Gregor, depsite the fact that several big names also appeared at the venue, like the 2004 world champion Greg Raymer.
It would be a far stretch to call Ryan Gregor a pro, with a single memorable occasion in 2009, when the young player placed 8th and won $1000. But still, the Heartland Poker Tour Kansas City $1650 main event was all about Gregor, depsite the fact that several big names also appeared at the venue, like the 2004 world champion Greg Raymer. However, as Raymer was eliminated in 16th place, Gregor rose to the lead pack and into the heads-up against Jason Darland, who enjoyed a huge chip advantage at that point. Everything changed when Gregor surprised his opponent with a pocket pair of KIngs, came back from the edge, and took initiative after the turningpoint, to ultimately winning the event. After sever years, Ryan Gregor is once again in a prize place, and with no less a tourament victory worth $111K, which has increased his earnings one hundred fold!
