These poker players generally play loads of tournaments, so they will also place highly as long as they have a good tournament poker style.
Knowing how to adapt your play as the blinds / number of players change is key to performing well in tournaments.

Remember that a tournament is a ‘marathon’ rather than a ’sprint’.
Study, practice, and Patience. Luck is helpful too.
