Daniel Yang Wins Warm Up Mystery Bounty

Level 32: 100,000 / 200,000 ante: 200,000

Daniel Yang

"I’m honored to be the champion of the first event of the Players Series. For every championship, I have to be so grateful. I know you need a lot of hard work in everything to accomplish this.”, commented Yang following his win.

After a grueling ten hour grind across the Warm Up Mystery Bounty Final Day festivities, Taiwan's own Daniel Yang emerged triumphant over the final rounds and banked the largest payout on the list at NTD 500,000 (~USD 15,375). His latest feat comes as a second career win, his first one being at the same venue just a couple months ago. Yang's road to victory was smooth sailing, having entered the final table with the lead after busting compatriot Yu Chen Huang in 10th place finish.

"Three people left for an hour, the chips went back and forth. In my hand against Won Bae, I checked back the turn. So that's why I got to see the river, and if I stretched the turn he might just jam, and I just wouldn't see the river. When the river came, I hit a straight and busted him out. I think that was the most crucial moment."

While Yang lost a few showdowns, the Taiwanese runner easily recovered by taking it postflop and remaining aggressive. Yang eliminated his final three opponents and closed out the win in quick fashion, earning him another substantial score right in time for the PS Main Event games. In addition to his notable payday, Yang also racked up nine bounty tokens, bringing up his total winnings to NTD 697,000 (~USD 21,435).

Yang only began his tournament career early this year and has already banked over USD 200,000 in total live earnings, with more to be expected as the country continues to be a hotbed for live poker.
