Kim Soojo has achieved significant success in his homeland of South Korea. He has amassed a total poker income of nearly $2 million and ranks among the top 10 highest-earning poker players of all time in South Korea.
In the first three months of 2024, he has already secured a mini High Roller cup at Aces Poker League and achieved ITM (In The Money) status four other times. He competes across a wide range of stakes, from approximately KRW 400,000 (~$300) to as high as ~$10,300 at EPT Paris.
Recently, at the HR Billionaire Club Challenge during USOP Danang 2024, he was introduced to Stakezone for the first time and shared approximately 10% of his shares on the platform. Although he shared this during a relatively short period just before the competition, Kim Soojo has garnered a lot of trust from shareholders
Not disappointing those who trusted him, he advanced to the final table with a very strong chip stack of 7,300,000, trailing the chip leader, Christan Harder, by only 200,000 chips. Other fierce competitors also graced the table, including Joshua McCully, Shylko, and the gamer "Boxer".
The players contributed to an exciting match. After 4 hours of intense play, the last two remaining players were Soojo Kim and McCully, with chip stacks not too far apart. Ultimately, Soojo Kim had to accept defeat against McCully in a tough setup situation, with two pairs losing to McCully's stronger hand.
Soojo Kim ended up in the second position, earning a prize of 4.37B CROWNS, which also brought substantial rewards to the shareholders who trusted him through the Stakezone equity-sharing platform.
