Yuzhou Yin secured the biggest win of his poker career after taking down the 264-player GOLIATH £1,500 High Roller.
He pocketed £75,170 after defeating Les Packer heads-up, surpassing the €28,444 he took home after winning a WSOP Circuit ring in Cannes back in April 2023.
Yin is a familiar face on the UK circuit, and took down a No-Limit Hold'em Turbo side event at GUKPT Luton back in April, and finished 22nd in the GUKPT Leeds Main Event the following month. He now has a GOLIATH High Roller title and trophy to his name, increasing is total live earnings according to the Hendon Mob to over $750,000.
