Kang Hyun Lee had an extraordinary night at the 2023 World Series of Poker, outlasting stiff competition to win his first gold bracelet in Event #92: $1,000 No-Limit Hold’em Freezeout. With the tournament now drawing to a close, he secured one of the final few bracelets and the first-place cash prize of $236,741.
Noteworthy players like Vanessa Kade, Kane Kalas, Eric Mizrachi, and Asher Conniff faced off against Lee at the final table. However, despite their efforts, Lee emerged victorious, setting himself apart from the substantial 1,710-entry field.
His last standing adversary was Eric Mizrachi, with the two starting the heads-up with about 40 blinds between them. Mizrachi, holding less than 10 of these, saw his all-ins play out quickly. Eventually, he was forced to make a call from the big blind with a dominated hand. Unluckily for Mizrachi, the cards on the table brought him no respite, and Lee’s triumph was affirmed.
Lee’s win underscores the sheer determination and skill that punctuate the atmosphere at the World Series of Poker. Despite the Main Event coming to a close with Daniel Weinman’s win, Lee ensured that the spirit of competition remained alive, leading him to earn one of the summer’s final bracelets.
