When it comes to US-based online poker pros, you’d be hard pressed to find one more talented and accomplished than Yong “LuckySpewy1” Kwon, who goes by “YK”.
The 31-year-old Kwon, who plays from New Jersey, is a regular on the partypoker US Network and can almost always be found firing tournaments like there.
“I'm well known for the hours/grind I put in online, so it's nice to get recognition for what I do,” YK told PokerNews. “I know that putting in volume/hours as a professional poker player is an essential part of success so I'm trying to play as many days as possible. I remember some regulars were losing it when they saw me playing $10-$30 satellites the day after I won the [World Series of Poker] bracelet but that's just who I am.”
Oh yeah, in addition to being the 2020 WSOP.com POY, YK is also a bracelet winner after he topped a field of 2,825 entries to win the 2019 WSOP Event #7: $400 NLH Online for $165,263.
He’s also claimed numerous partypoker US titles including last year’s WPT Online Borgata Series powered by partypoker US Network Event #2: $109 NLHE R+A $10,000 GTD for $6,933, a pair of PokerStars NJCOOP titles, a NJSCOOP title, and more than $3.8 million in online tournament earnings according to PocketFives.
PokerNews recently interviewed Kwon, which you can read in full by clicking here.
