Ko, a rising star in the poker scene, captured attention with his victory at the WPT Montreal Main Event in May 2024. At just 23 years old, he navigated through a field of 882 contenders to claim a prize money worth $320,000. Ko also has a WSOP ring to his name.
Having been part of the KKPoker community for over a year, Ko now embraces his ambassadorial responsibilities, championing KKPoker’s mission to expand in both online and live poker space.
“I’m delighted to announce my partnership with KKPoker as an ambassador! Over the past year, I’ve met wonderful community members and received tremendous support. I encourage everyone to join and discover what this community has to offer,” said Ko.
The Canadian’s journey from being a recreational player to a professional one began just two years ago during a visit to Las Vegas, where he fell in love with the game. Returning to Vancouver, he honed his skills using online resources, swiftly progressing from cash games to tournaments. Notably, he secured a £40,000 victory at the WSOP Colossus event in Nottingham and earned his first WSOP ring.
