RankingHero Proudly Presents WPT500 Winner Sean Yu

Armed with two pairs of 8s and 7s and a lucky RankingHero patch, @Sean Yu won the final all-in against @Kareem Marshall and the $260,000 first prize in the WPT500 $1 Million Guaranteed - his biggest live tournament cash to date!

RankingHero picked this incredible poker event for its promotional U.S. launch and Sean was one of well over 200 players who signed up for our Last Longer competition and wore the RankingHero patch during the #WPT500 Main Event. Sean Yu ended up dominating the amazing field of 3,599 entries of $565 (over six starting flights) that had generated a prizepool exceeding the $1 million guarantee - $1,799,500.

Set against the first prize and the trophies from @World Poker Tour and @ARIA Resort & Casino, the buy-in of $565 that he won back in the RankingHero Last Longer competition may not seem a lot, but the patch certainly proved lucky. We hope it will secure another great run for Sean at the WPT500 Dusk Til Dawn in Nottingham, UK for which he won a $2,000 package.
