WSOP Rookie KT Park Wins Event #52: $2,500 Nine-Game Mix 6-Handed ($219,799)

New York online grinder KT Park has overcome a star-studded field of 456 players, including some of the best mixed game players in the world to win what’s become affectionately known as “The Mini PPC”, the $2,500 Nine-Game Mix 6-Handed for a career-best $219,799 and his first World Series of Poker bracelet.

Park’s accomplishment comes in just his second-ever live WSOP event, as he entered heads-up play with a massive chip lead, before defeating Andre Akkari in front of a boisterous Brazilian rail in just two hands to claim the title.
