Sylvia Shi
Sylvia Shi (born July 24, 1988) is an American multi national champion and world champion in duplicate bridge.
Career[]
Shi started playing bridge in 2011 when she picked it up over learning to fly planes as a much-needed new hobby after a break-up.[1] While she is well-versed in many systems, she has a fondness for playing TOSR (transfer-oriented systemic relay),[2] a form of Precision Club.[3] Shi currently lives in Las Vegas, Nevada with her husband, Daniel Korbel, a bridge champion originally from Canada. Shi became a Grand Life Master in December 2019 at the San Francisco NABC.
Shi has now admitted to cheating at online bridge through self-kibitzing[4] and has been suspended by the American Contract Bridge League pending a misconduct hearing.[5]
