Kevin Yun Lam Choi (commonly known as Kevin Choi) is a professional poker player from Hong Kong who has established himself as a versatile force in both No Limit Hold’em tournaments and complex Mixed Game formats across the Asian and US circuits.

Career Earnings & Biggest Results

With over $950,000 in total live earnings (according to The Hendon Mob), Kevin Choi is a prominent figure on the Hong Kong All Time Money List. His career reached new heights during the 2025 season, characterized by breakout victories in Asia and a near-bracelet miss in Las Vegas.

His most prestigious financial score came at the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) in Las Vegas. Choi finished as the runner-up in Event #47: $2,500 Mixed Omaha 8/Stud 8, earning a career-best payout of $163,085.

In the Asian circuit, Choi has been a dominant title winner. In December 2025, he won the Titan Stack High Roller at the Gods of Poker (GOP) festival in Jeju, securing the “Zeus Gauntlet” trophy and ~$56,400 (KRW 82,958,000). Earlier in the year, he set a record at the Asian Poker Tour (APT) Jeju, winning the largest-ever Korea National Cup for ~$56,000 (KRW 78,084,378).

Biography & Poker Background

Hailing from Hong Kong, Kevin Choi has become a regular fixture at major international stops, splitting his time between the high-stakes Asian festivals (like APT Taipei and Jeju) and the summer series in Las Vegas.

His 2025 campaign solidified his reputation as a “dual threat.” While many players specialize solely in Hold’em, Choi has successfully targeted mixed game titles, including a victory in the Limit Triple Draw Mix at APT Taipei and multiple deep runs in Big O (5-Card PLO8) events. His consistency in South Korea – winning titles in both Incheon and Jeju – has made him one of the most successful Hong Kong representatives in the region.

Play Style & Strategy

Kevin Choi is widely recognized as a Mixed Game Specialist. His runner-up finish in a WSOP Split-Pot event and victories in “Triple Draw” and “Big O” tournaments demonstrate an elite understanding of games beyond No Limit Hold’em.

However, he is far from a one-trick pony. His victories in the Korea National Cup (a massive NLH field) and the Titan Stack High Roller prove he can adapt his strategy to standard 2-card tournaments, switching gears between the patience required for limit games and the aggression needed for No Limit Hold’em High Rollers.
