Yong âLuckySpewy1â Kwon, who goes by âYKâ was recently named the
2020 WSOP.com Player of the Year.
The 31-year-old Kwon, who plays from New Jersey, collected $10,000 in cash and an exclusive WSOP.com Player of the Year ring for accomplishing the feat.
âI'm well known for the hours/grind I put in online, so it's nice to get recognition for what I do. However, the WSOP.com POY title wasn't something I strived for,â YK told
PokerNews. âI 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 bracelet but that's just who I am.â
