For the best part of three years, it felt like Bin Weng was everywhere.

The Pennsylvania poker crusher had already established himself as one of the most consistent tournament grinders in the country, but from 2023 onwards his career went into overdrive. Millions of dollars in scores, major titles and seemingly endless deep runs followed as Weng became one of the hottest players on the tournament circuit.

The volume never really slowed, either. After banking $6,663,696 in live tournament cashes during a remarkable 2023, he added another $519,146 in 2024 and $945,780 in 2025. Then, towards the end of last year, it all came to a halt.

Health complications forced Weng away from the tables for around seven months, leaving one of poker's busiest tournament regulars watching from home instead of competing.
