Seat 5: Kyle Ho, 33, Vancouver/BC, Canada – 20,100,000
Kyle Ho claims he’s a professional Pez collector, but there’s no denying he’s also pretty good at playing poker. While Ho listed “railing my friends” as his biggest poker accomplishment, he’s guaranteed to break $500,000 in live winning with his Estrellas Main Event payout, which will be his first cash on European soil.
The 33-year-old from Vancouver has played the game since 2004 and mostly likes live cash games. But tournaments seem to suit his abilities too. Ho’s best result came last October when he topped a Pure Poker Tour Main Event in Edmonton for around $70,000. When not at a poker table, Ho enjoys playing video games.
