Vicious poker mobsters dealt conviction

Two Eastern European mobsters were convicted Tuesday of running a violent syndicate of the Russian Thieves in Law gang in South Brooklyn.

Leonid “Lenny” Gershman and Aleksey Tsvetkov operated a highstakes poker ring in Coney Island that garnered as much as $800,000 a night — and resorted to violence to shake down debtors.

Brooklyn federal prosecutors offered evidence of Gershman and Tsvetkov’s ill-gotten high-rolling lifestyles at trial, including photos of Gershman, 35, rocking a pair of $1,500 gray Yeezy sneakers and a $1,500 Hermes belt.

In 2016, the duo took out a rival poker game that was stealing its clients by torching a building in Sheepshead Bay. The blaze left two residents, including a 12-yearold boy, trapped and an FDNY firefighter with injuries.

Tsvetkov boasted about putting a victim “to sleep” — and recorded himself beating the man up outside Aces Auto Bodyshop in Gravesend.

Gershman and Tsvetkov also pistol-whipped a man, shattering his teeth, for allegedly stealing marijuana from their stash house.

Jurors found the pair guilty of racketeering, illegal gambling, loan-sharking, extortion, arson and marijuana-distribution charges following a three-week trial. Gershman was additionally convicted of conspiring to traffick firearms and Tsvetkov of wire fraud. They face life in prison.
