Two Titles & a Runner-Up Finish for Yao "YY" Yin at the 2019 FPC
It’s been a good Fall Poker Classic series of Wisconsin’s Yao “YY” Yin, who earlier this week accomplished the rare feat of winning back-to-back titles.
On Wednesday, he navigated a 137-entry field to win Event #17: $340 6-Max No-Limit Hold’em for $11,162. He did so by defeating David Delaney in heads-up play for $6,897.
He then followed that up by topping a 111-entry field to win Event #18: $250 No-Limit Hold’em, which offered up a $22,977 prize pool. The tournament ended in a three-way deal that saw Yin win the title and $5,000 in prize money while Paul Carney and Justin Pick received $4,588 each for taking second and third respectively.
As if that wasn’t impressive enough, earlier in the season Yin finished runner-up to Bill Kachel in Event #11: $365 Monster Stack. He received $13,677 for finishing second in the 320-entry field.
Yin will look to keep the ball rolling by making a deep run in the $1,100 Fall Poker Classic Main Event.
