Tony G Poker, also known as Antanas Guoga, was born in Lithuania in 1973. He is a professional poker player and an esteemed business man. As a child, he was the Rubik’s Cube champion of Lithuania, before leaving for Melbourne at age 11. He has been playing poker since the age of 18 and known as one who likes to chat and play aggressively.
However, many professional poker players and dealers avoid sitting on the same table with him, because despite being a calm and pleasant person, he is not a player one should get in a game with. He took 5th place in the WPT Paris tournament in 2003. Later on, he won again, earning $20,000 in a tournament in Russia.
In addition, he earned the 2nd place in the WSOP tournament of 2004, which is one of the world’s biggest poker tournaments widely followed in Canada, and three months later took more and more prizes worth $414,478.
In 2005, he made $5,000 more, getting to an amount of $456,822. In 2006, he got 2nd place after Yosh Nakano, raking an amount of $150,000. At the end of November 2006, he won again, this time in China. The prize was $451,700, which he gave to charity.
In February of 2007, he appeared on the NBC show “Poker After Dark”, telling the audience about him coming at 3rd place in the tournament, after Phil Ivey. In November of the same year, he won another competition in Moscow and received $205,000.
In 2008, he arrived at a winning amount of over $3,000,000. He just never stopped winning games and more is yet to come, so Canadian online casino and poker fans best keep their eyes open. Even the best online casino could land a fatal blow to your budget by hosting such players as Tony G Poker.
