Vanished Vegas Hopeful: Urgent Appeal Issued After Main Event Contestant Goes Missing

**Urgent Missing Person: Yuto Moriyasu**

In a worrying turn of events, a 26-year-old Japanese national, Yuto Moriyasu, has gone missing in Las Vegas, Nevada. The authorities and Moriyasu's family are urgently seeking the public's help in locating him.

Last seen on July 2, 2025, in Spring Valley, Las Vegas, Moriyasu arrived in the city on May 25, 2025, to participate in the World Series of Poker (WSOP). He was last seen wearing a T-shirt and shorts, standing at 5'7'' (170 cm) tall and weighing approximately 180 lbs. Moriyasu has brown wavy hair and brown eyes, with no distinguishing marks such as tattoos or piercings.

During his stay in Las Vegas, Moriyasu was active in local poker events. He participated in $150 buy-in 'Late Night' events at the MGM Grand Summer Poker Festival and South Point Summer Dailies. However, he did not participate in the Main Event of this year's WSOP.

A concerning aspect of Moriyasu's disappearance is that he had a $10,000 buy-in for the Main Event with him when he went missing. Despite extensive searches, no contact has been made with Moriyasu since July 2.

Born on November 4, 1997, Moriyasu has no known mental health issues, anger issues, or medical conditions that could potentially explain his disappearance. The authorities and his family are hopeful that someone might have information that could lead to his safe return.
