WSOP Review: Yoon and Yockey win bracelets in the MONSTER STACK and PLO

Brian Yoon takes down the $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em MONSTER STACK, and Bryce Yockey does likewise in the highly competitive $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8-or-Better Championship.

Brian Yoon returned from a nine-month self-imposed sabbatical to take down Event:#47: $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em Monster Stack and record his first million dollar score.

When it comes to sculpting World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet wins, Yoon has gotten it down to a fine art. Not only has the 27-year-old from Torrance, California, won every single final table he has ever pushed his Hush Puppies under, but they have all been huge scores.

Yoon’s first bracelet came in 2013 when he took down the $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em Little One For One Drop, earning $663,727. Yoon had to pass 4,756 entrants on that particular circular staircase to heaven, and the experience must have helped him defeat the 6,717 entrants who stood in his way in this one. His second bracelet came in 2014 when he beat 550 people to win the $5,000 No-Limit Hold’em Eight Handed event for $633,341.
