The 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Event #81: $600 Ultra Stack crowned its first-ever champion in the form of Joseph Roh. With a true love of the game, Roh attributed his victory to his continued aggression and willingness to take risks, which earned him his first gold bracelet and $401,250 in prize money.
Roh spends his time traveling between California, where his family is based, and Texas, where he runs a semiconductor company that specializes in special vacuums used in the manufacturing of microchips. Roh doesn’t get many opportunities to play tournaments but did get runner-up in a special, tiered invitational at MGM for $500,000 earlier this summer.
