Bin Weng had heater of a lifetime in 2023 that saw him winning the GPI Player of the Year award. The Pennsylvanian started off the year by taking down the Borgata Return for a career-bets $1 million before surpassing that a few months later with a victory in the WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown Championship for $1.1 million.

Weng was close to making poker history by winning consecutive WPT events but ended up in 4th place for $143,000.

Weng is also the owner of two Circuit rings, including one that he picked up at the 2024 Harrah’s Pompano Beach stop in a $400 NLH event for $15,272.
