Bryce Yockey

Bryce started making a splash back in 2009 when he took six-figures for 4th place in that year’s $1,500 No Limit Hold’em event at the WSOP.

Bryce Yockey describes himself on his Twitter page as a ‘poker player and cryptocurrency fan,’ joining hordes of others in the poker community who spend their time discussing Bitcoin and Ethereum. Away from the keyboard he’s a formidable Omaha player, in all its variations – he is the 5th highest cashing Omaha Hi/Lo player in WSOP history.

Bryce started making a splash back in 2009 when he took six-figures for 4th place in that year’s $1,500 No Limit Hold’em event at the World Series of Poker. He’d been playing for a while by then, and since has turned that initial nugget of fame into a record that includes another 30 cashes at the WSOP which make up the bulk of his 53 total live in-the-money finishes. For these successes he accrued a little under $2 million while still grinding away day in day out.

But it wasn’t until 2017 that he got his hands on a bracelet, despite coming final-table close to one on six other occasions. That year he beat out 207 entrants to win the inaugural $10,000 Omaha Hi/Lo Eights-or-Better Championship event for $511,147, beating out Jeremy Joseph heads up.

If his Instagram is anything to go on, most of those winnings are spent travelling and photographing food.
