The big win for Yu comes just after he won the WSOP Global Casino Championship for nearly $300,000. He qualified for that, in turn, by winning the WSOP Circuit Main Event in Las Vegas last September for another $170,000. Yu has now passed $1.5 million in live tournament cashes.
Furthermore, he pledged five percent of this win to Hurricane Harvey relief, according to Commerce Poker's Twitter, which also carried live updates of the event.
