Nicknamed "The Magnificent" by his friends, 30-year old Woo is a poker professional from Stone Mountain, Georgia. He made the final table of this tournament last year and he not only bested his fifth-place finish in that event today, but quadrupled his career tournament earnings and won his first WSOP bracelet.
When asked about his approach to this final table, Woo said: "My strategy going in was, 'Don't make it a shove-fest.' Play small pots and go from there. When there's play involved, poker is a beautiful thing."
After his fifth-place finish last year, Woo admitted to being so disappointed at not winning the bracelet that he took his $118,000 in winnings and, "Dusted it all off at the blackjack table in half an hour." This time, he's adamant about bringing the whole check home to Georgia.
