Meet the High Roller Newcomer Who Is Crushing the 2023 Poker Masters

The poker player with the runaway lead on the Poker Masters Leaderboard isn't Alex Foxen, Sean Winter or Sam Soverel. It isn't Stephen Chidwick, who recently took down Event #8: $25,000 No-Limit Hold'em for $400,000.

No, the player who has found the most success inside the PokerGO Studio this week is Lithuania's Vladas Tamasauskas, a newcomer to the high roller scene who quickly made his presence known by taking down two events and snatching trophies from some of the best players in the world.

Tamasauskas, who primarily played mid-stakes tournaments before flying overseas registering for the Poker Masters in Las Vegas, started the series with a victory in the $10,000 buy-in opening event for $239,400 before winning the third event of the series for $208,800.

PokerNews caught up with Tamasauskas during the currently underway Poker Masters, which runs through Sept. 26 before a player is awarded the elusive Purple Jacket.
 
This Vladas Tamasauskas guy seems to be having a great run at the Poker Masters this year. Winning two events right off the bat against some top pros is very impressive. It's interesting to see a newer player from Lithuania dominating such a high buy-in tournament series.
