Seat 6: Daren Yoon (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) – 677,000 chips
This 33-year old Australian expat now resides in Malaysia where he spends his days crushing the Pot-Limit Omaha tables. Yoon has been playing poker for most of his adult life but credits his friends and his girlfriend for inspiring him in the game.
Yoon’s tournament progress has been fascinating to watch. He entered Day 2 as the second shortest stack in the room but managed to claw his way back into contention. His defining moment came when his pocket kings managed to spike a set against Alexander Beeckx’s pocket aces and from there Yoon has taken full advantage of his second life to reach the final table in good shape as the second largest chip stack.
