Seat 5: Iori Yogo (Nagoya, Japan) – 1,405,000 chips
Japan’s Iori Yogo adds some international flavour to this final table. Iori is a 30-year old professional poker player who predominantly plays cash games, but is enjoying a rich vein of form in tournaments here in Australia.
A runner-up result at the ANZPT Perth for $72,000 was followed up with an 11th place in the ANZPT Sydney, before another final table with a 7th place in the WSOP-APAC Accumulator event in Melbourne. Now with his third ANZPT cash in three events, Iori will take over the lead in the ANZ Player of the Year race.
