Earlier this week, Claudia and Marin Yum received the 피망포커머니상 in Korea. They are the very first Korean winners of the prestigious tournament. They beat out several international players to win it. The other winners included Scott Janik and Harunobu Kojima.

Scott Janik

Earlier this season, Scott Janik won the Poker Money Award in Korea. While his final table didn’t include exactly the same stars as those of the WSOP, he was among the only Americans to take part in the Main Event. He wound up taking home 215,800. This was enough to complete in second place. He’ll return tomorrow to try to take home the title.

He’d to fight against Yuki Ko, who began the day with 2,820,000 chips. He eliminated Xingbiao Zhu and Masatoshi Tanaka. Ko has over $272,261 in live tournament earnings, and happens to be leading the way in the Main Event with a 2,820,000 chip lead. He’s also won two bracelets, so he’s anticipated to be at the the top of list for the Poker Money Award in Korea.
