Masato Yokosawa

We already have a nice turnout for the Purple Chip Bounty with the $100,000 guarantee in the rearview mirror after the first hour and it will continue to grow until registration closes at 8:55 pm.

We generally have our fair share of international talent show up for the big series and Masato Yokosawa might have traveled the furthest to compete. The Japanese player is taking part in his first SHRPO tournament this afternoon and did not find an easy seat draw with two-time WSOP bracelet winner Loni Hui to his left and three-time WPT champ Brian Altman across the table.

Masato has poker success of his own with $850,000 in career earnings and his name is on the WPT Mike Sexton Champions Cup thanks to a WPT South Korea win in 2013. He also has a huge social media presence with more than 595,000 YouTube subscribers following his adventures around the world.

Welcome to South Florida, Masato!
