Warren Kashiwagi

Warren Kashiwagi is a business consultant based in Sacramento, California. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and Accounting from the University of California, Berkeley. Kashiwagi spent over 23 years as a partner at Perry-Smith LLP before moving to Crowe Horwath, where he served as a partner until 2017. He is now self-employed as a business consultant.

Kashiwagi's poker career is documented through various live tournament results. According to WSOP.com, he has five cashes, two final tables, and total earnings of $33,851 across WSOP-branded events. His most notable result came in November 2018 at the WPTDeepStacks Thunder Valley Main Event, where he finished sixth out of 446 entries, earning $23,280. In that tournament, he survived a critical hand against Alex Greenblatt when his A-Q dominated A-K chopped on a full house board. Other cashes include a ninth-place finish in a 2019 WSOP Circuit Thunder Valley event ($4,342) and a 51st-place finish in the same series ($2,613).

Based on available hand histories, Kashiwagi plays an aggressive style, often moving all-in with strong holdings like A-K and A-Q. In the 2018 WPTDeepStacks event, he three-bet shoved preflop with A-Q and later got all-in with A-K suited. His ability to survive dominated situations, such as the chop against A-K, shows resilience. He typically plays larger stacks and is not afraid to risk his tournament life.

Outside of poker, Kashiwagi maintains a career as a business consultant. He is active on LinkedIn, where he comments on industry news and congratulates colleagues. His educational background from UC Berkeley and decades in accounting and consulting highlight a disciplined, analytical mindset that likely carries over to his poker game.
