Sylvia Shi


Sylvia Shi is an American multi national champion and world champion in contract 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. While she is well-versed in many systems, she has a fondness for playing TOSR, a form of Precision Club. 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 of 2019 at the San Francisco NABC.
Shi has now admitted to cheating at online bridge through self-kibitzing and has been suspended by the American Contract Bridge League pending a misconduct hearing.
