"“I am a very selective, very tight player,” Yong “A.Y.” An said after his victory in event 11 of the Harrah’s Circuit tour at Caesars Indiana. That helped him build his stacks until, almost halfway through the final table, he broke Ed Corrado in a big hand and moved into a commanding lead which he held to the end, finally beating professional player Thomas “Moon” Fuller. First place in the $2,000 no-limit event paid $67,884. It was his first major cash.

An, 36, is originally from Korea and manages a Japanese restaurant in his current hometown of Dallas , Texas . (Jay Chang, a restaurant owner he had previously worked with, finished sixth in the $5,000 championship event at Tunica.) He is single, enjoys playing basketball and baseball, and started playing poker five years ago with family and friends. He prefers tournaments but also plays $2-$5 and occasionally $5-$10 no-limit. Last night he was very short-stacked with two tables left but got going when he won two pots with pocket pairs."
