Yellow won a poker tournament at the Wynn in Las Vegas for 696 grand. The buy in was $3,500 and there were 1,428 entries. No silver this time, just the cash and the first place trophy as the winner. Not sure if this the right place for this, but its great to see an old school BW legend bring home a bunch of cash at his new career. | ||

But that's a lot of money, congrats to YellOw! KT best KT I'd probably put this tournament as about a 7 or 8 on a 1-10 scale. Definitely on the higher side in terms of profile and payout in my opinion. | ||

I also have seen on the news how celebrities were caught gambling outside the country and had to go on hiatus afterwards because of the controversy. Hmm... Now that I think about it, there's hardly any Korean poker pros that I've seen or know of. Whereas I've seen couple of Chinese and Japanese on the scene. That's quite interesting, if the Korean government takes a super strict stance against even pro poker players. Which is in stark contrast of its rather active and liberal support for other sports (golf, shooting, cyber games, etc). Of course, card games being so closely so associated with gambling is a different kettle of fish, but it's still fascinating nonetheless. | ||
