Notable Information

The $1K Ladies Championship is always a popular event at the WSOP, and Jiyoung Kim of South Korea was the last woman standing to capture that title. It was her first gold bracelet, but the gold will go to her mother. “I’m giving it to my mom,” she said. “She is always worried about me going overseas to play poker tournaments. I feel for her; that’s why I will give it to her.”

Kim was the second South Korean to ever win a WSOP bracelet. The coffee shop owner and part-time poker player has been playing live tournaments for about four years, but she had never cashed in Las Vegas before this win. “I feel like I’m dreaming. It’s a dream come true for me.”

The $2,500 Mixed tournament also finished on Sunday, and Brazilian Yuri Dzivielevski was the last player standing. And he did it with a typically-exuberant Brazilian rail of friends watching and celebrating his first gold bracelet with him. “This is the most special moment, for sure,” he said.

He also told a reporter that he tried to be present and happy at every point of the final table. He tried to live in the moment, something he emulates in his personal life as well. And that winning moment consisted of being tossed into the air by his supporters. “I want to feel this feeling again and again!”
