Plens’ largest online cash to date came on August 11 2008, when he won the Party Poker Birthday Million for first-prize money of $233,775. Three months later he won the PokerStars Sunday Million for another $189k. He also has a victory in the PokerRoom $100k Guaranteed for $30,500 along with a victory in the PokerStars $100 re-buy for another $24,600.

Plens has also been playing live events for a couple of years and has four live tournament cashes since March 2006. That doesn’t seem like much, but they total up to more than $250,000. At this past World Series of Poker he went deep into the main event and finished 42nd, earning a $154,400 paycheck for his efforts. His other big live tournament cash came in 2006 when he finished second, earning another $95,000 at the 12th Vienna Spring Poker Festival.

Many online players have difficulty adjusting to the slow pace of the live game, but Plens puts his time to good use. “Sometimes I’ll stand up to stretch and walk away from the table. However, when I have a deep run, I try to absorb everything I can.

“I don’t get a chance to make a deep run in a live event very often. When I finish, I want to be able to say that I did everything I could to give myself the best chance to win.”

Plens goes by the same username at every poker room he plays in online. The only variation is he that he drops the 9 from “therookieeqq9” on occasion. So if you’re sitting across from a player named “therookieeqq9” at Pinnacle Sports Poker, you had better pay close attention to what he’s doing.
