Patty Yamano

Patty Yamano (also known as Patricia Yamano) is an American poker player from Henderson, Nevada. She is active on the live tournament circuit, particularly in seniors-focused events, and has achieved notable results in both World Series of Poker (WSOP) and WSOP Circuit tournaments.

In October 2025, Yamano cashed three times at the WSOP Circuit stop at Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe. She finished 12th in Event #12: $400 NLH ($854), 13th in Event #9: $400 Monster Stack NLH ($1,585), and 12th in Event #5: $400 Seniors Event NLH ($1,066). These results brought her total WSOP.com earnings to $3,505 with three cashes.

At the 2025 World Series of Poker, Yamano entered Event #64: $1,000 Super Seniors No-Limit Hold’em, which drew 3,338 entries. After Day 1, she bagged 268,000 chips, placing third among the 860 returning players. She was one of the top contenders heading into Day 2 of the four-day event, though her final placing is not publicly recorded.

Yamano captured her first recorded tournament victory at the Venetian Deep Stack Poker Series (DCPS) in 2025, winning the $600 NLH Seniors event with a $150,000 guaranteed prize pool. The exact prize amount is not specified, but the win marked a highlight of her seniors tournament career.

Based on her consistent cashes in seniors events and her ability to accumulate chips in large fields, Yamano appears to be a solid, experienced player who excels in deep-stack tournaments. She is known for steady, patient play rather than flashy aggression, and she focuses on events tailored to senior players where she can leverage her experience.
