Lithuania’s Paulius Plausinaitis recently shot into the spotlight with his $1.2 million win in the WSOPC 2020 $1,700 Main Event. For the average online or live poker fan, Plausinaitis’ name may not immediately ring a bell. This is because prior to 2017, most of his live MTT cashes came from competitions at the Genting Casino in Edinburgh.
First appearing on the radar when he reached the final table of Event #70 $25,000 NLH POKER PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP during WSOP Online 2020, Plausinaitis eventually finished 8th and earned a payday of $210,079.
Even with this success, somehow no one took notice when he sold action for the final day of the $1,700 WSOP Winter Online Circuit Main Event.
