He beat some very good and well known players in this tournament and an extremely nice cash. I have noticed that quite a big amount of the bracelets seem to be going to players who already have bracelets,obviously experience helps but with the high fields and a lot of new,young players always coming through I thought there could be more players less well known winning.

Hi, everybody.
There is nothing eternal in our life. Everything changes. New players come. Some leave without having sustained the competition without having reached any heights. And some reach the end of battle and become stars (poker, soccer, etc.).
Nobody could predict such defeat of Spain in the present FIFA World Cup and for Brian Yoon probably it is its hour of triumph.

Wow huge difference between the first and the second twice as much winnings, so that why i tell my friend and my self when you at the final table go for the wins as it can be the difference between a lot of money and breaking even. So congratulations to Brian Yoon for his second bracelet, hope he keeps it up and keeps updating us with good news. He is good and will be better in the future!

Many congratulations to Brian Yoon on winning this event and this looks, by far, the most difficult final table so far with so many well known and successful players on it. Well done again

To win only one bracelet was a dream, but a second time was real great for this player. And against 550 other players it was not only a lucky run, it shows perfect poker skills. And now we can wait for the field of the november nine this year...
