Masato “World Wide” Yokosawa

We had a nice surprise near the end of registration, when poker/internet/YouTube star Masato “World Wide” Yokosawa walked to the cage to join the TPC Championship.

Masato has more than $4 million in career earnings, over one million subscribers to his YouTube Channel, and more than a dozen six-figure cashes, including a fifth-place finish in this summer’s WSOP $25K High Roller.

He took a max late-reg seat next to our chip leader, Justin Green, but could not run up his 40K starting stack.

Masato will be back tomorrow for the final flight of the Championship and looking for a trophy to match the one he won with our friends down in Hollywood.
