Jae Kim Chases His First Big Live Score
Jae Kim is one of the most intriguing players in today's field, as the online tournament phenom known as 'YugiohPro' currently resides in Seoul.
Kim, born and raised in California, is a son of first generation Korean immigrants and after Black Friday he decided to move to South-Korea while many of his fellow pros left for Canada or Mexico.
In an article from November 2013 Kim spoke with PokerNews' own Chad Holloway in which he spoke about his rise to the highest stakes. Kim has almost $2.5 million in online tournament earnings, ranks Number 1 on the Korean PocketFives leader board and his best global ranking was 36th in late 2013.
Kim's biggest score came back in 2010 when he won the Sunday Warm Up on PokerStars for $125,099 and he's looking to lock up his first big live result this week here in Seoul.
