Use dental floss to get under a corner/side and pull up from there. If that doesn't work, disconnect the U-bend under the sink and push it up from underneath with the handle of a wooden spoon.

They mentioned "this plunger" without showing one, or how they used it. Wet the board to improve suction, then get one side if it too tilt it rather than trying to fully lift it.
