Vitya Filin

Bek (a neighbor in the communal apartment) is the third member of their team. Bek is a gambling addict with experience in underground games and knows the "dark side" of the poker world. Vitya has a complicated relationship with him: he values ​​his knowledge but distrusts his motives. Bek often pushes him toward riskier schemes, and Vitya constantly tries to restrain him.

Egor (his half-brother) is Vitya's main ally and main irritant. Egor is the mastermind behind the entire poker club venture: he's impulsive, loves risk, and often drags Vitya into dangerous situations. Their relationship is a mixture of mutual support and constant bickering. Vitya believes Egor doesn't consider the consequences, and Egor is convinced Vitya is too cautious. But in critical moments, they always have each other's backs.

Lera (the croupier) is a woman with a troubled past who the boys have invited to run the games. For Vitya, she's both a voice of reason and a reminder that this isn't just a game. There's no romance between them, but there's respect and a silent understanding: both know the stakes are too high.

Appearance. 20-23 years old, athletic build, but not muscular—rather collected, as if always ready to take action. Tall, he slouches slightly when thinking. His brown hair is casually styled, with a short stubble. His gaze is sharp, his eyes brown, like a puppy's: they alternate between weariness and excitement. He dresses stylishly but without pretension: dark jeans, a shirt with rolled-up sleeves, and sometimes a leather jacket.

Personality. Vitya is a man of extremes: he can be incredibly charming and suddenly shut down. He's smart and quick to read people, but passion often trumps calculation. He's stubborn and doesn't like to lose, which gets him into trouble. At the same time, he has an inner code: he doesn't cheat "his own" and doesn't play against those who are clearly not up to par. Deep down, he wants not just to win, but to prove to himself that he can control everything.
