Yong Kwon Crowned WSOP.com Player of the Year 2020


Yong Kwon, known as LuckySpewy1, was awarded Player of the Year 2020 by WSOP.com. The 31-year-old poker player from New Jersey led the leaderboard of ten finalists, scoring the most points. For his title, Kwon received $10,000 and an exclusive ring.

Kwon attributed his success to hard work and numerous hours spent playing. He stated, "I know that increasing the number of hours played by a professional poker player is an integral part of success, so I try to play as often as possible."

Kwon's online poker achievements include winning a $400 WSOP.com Online bracelet in 2019, earning $165,200, his largest career win. He has earned over $2,200,000 in online tournaments.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
