Tony G.

Tony G., otherwise known as Antanas Guoga, and he is one of professional poker's most recognizable players. He was born in Lithuania, but he moved to Melbourne, Australia at the age of 11. Immediately, he earned a reputation as an aggressive player, berating his opponents at the table.

The hand watched 'round the world was at the Intercontinental Poker Championship, where he went all in before the flop against Ralph Perry. After the hand was dealt, Tony won the pot and eliminated Ralph Perry amid numerous insults. Perry was not amused by Guogas' antics, but he took it professionally.

Despite Tony G's antics at the table, his accomplishments should not be ignored.

He has cash finishes in all poker styles, from pot limit Omaha to seven-card stud. Guogas is also a World Poker Tour champion.

He has never won a WSOP bracelet, but he has had sixteen cash finishes, with his best finish a third-place at the pot limit Omaha event WSOP Europe event. He has had three other final tables. As of late, he is playing in the biggest events that poker has to offer.
