Lin and Yu Join The Party
While the player party kicks off tonight at The Flair Bar the poker party is going on in the poker room right now. Two poker celebrities were just spotted as Winfred Yu and Team PokerStars Pro Celina Lin sat down and join the action.
Lin, to date the only two-time winner of the Macau Poker Cup Red Dragon, has $421,709 in live tournament earnings and is always someone to look out for. Lin currently ranks 13th on the Chinese all-time money list and we're looking forward to see what she has in store for us this week.
Yu, from Hong Kong, is known as one of the highest stakes player in the world and a frequent participant in the Super High Rollers. Yu's known to host the biggest cash games in the world in Starworld Macau where the likes of Tom Dwan and Andrew Robl regularly play.
Yu's biggest live tournament result came in 2012 when he finished third in the Aspers €100k for ￡330,000 (US $535,028) and in total he has just shy of $1.3 million in live tournament earnings.
