Rafael Perivoskin, also known as Ralph Perry, is a professional poker player known primarily for calling all-in against Antanas Guoga (Tony G) with king-jack. He is originally from Russia and has been playing professionally since 1992.

In 2006, Perry represented Russia at the inaugural Intercontinental Poker Championship and reached the semi-finals, during which he was the target of some much-publicised needling by Tony G.

On 18 July 2006, Perry won his first World Series of Poker bracelet, along with over $200,000, in the $1,500 pot limit Omaha event.[1]

In 2006, Perry was placed 17th in Card Player's Player of the Year awards.

Perry finished third in the 2002 WSOP Main Event.[2]

As of 2016, Perry's live tournament earnings exceeded $2,880,000.[3] His 21 cashes at the WSOP account for $1,573,541 of those winnings.[4]
