Ph.D. Student Ye “YUAN365” Yuan, a WSOP Finalist, was Inspired by Fedor Holz

Ye “YUAN365” Yuan, who also goes by Tony Yuan, is one of nine players who will travel to Las Vegas to battle it out at the 2020 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event final table at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino for $1.5 million and the chance to go heads-up against Damian Salas for the bracelet and an additional $1 million.

Little was known about Yuan prior to him making the final table. He had just $6,774 in lifetime earnings dating back to 2016, but now the Chinese native, who now resides in Wisconsin, is primed to notch a big score as he starts the final table fourth in chips with 4,825,000.
