WSOP GOLD BRACELET WINNER
EVENT # 38 – ROBERT “RCW” CHEUNG

  • The winner of the $1,500 buy-in No-Limit Hold’em championship (Event #38) was Robert Cheung. He is a 46-year-old businessman from Vancouver, BC (Canada).
  • Cheung was born in Hong Kong. He holds a Ph.D. Cheung, who goes by the initials “RCW,” has only been playing poker seriously for about two years. He learned how to play the game from his friends.
  • This was Cheung’s fourth occasion to cash at the WSOP, and third time this year. Cheung also took fourth place in the $5,000 buy-in championship event last year at Harvey Lake Tahoe’s World Series of Poker Circuit – netting about $80,000 in profit.
