Plausinaitis hails from Lithuania, home of the legendary Tony G, one of the most colorful and loud poker players ever. The recent Circuit ring winner outlasted a field of 6,395 players, making it the largest Circuit event in history.

Cheong is no stranger to crushing massive field tournaments. In 2010, he finished third for $4,130,000 in the WSOP Main Event, a tournament with 7,319 unique players. And at the 2019 WSOP, he won his first and only bracelet in a 6,214-player field ($1,000 Double Stack No-Limit Hold’em for $687,782).
