The U Series Championship has strengthened its ambassador lineup with the addition of Bryan Yang Peng , welcoming the passionate poker enthusiast into its growing international family. Known for his competitive mindset and deep appreciation for the game, Bryan brings a fresh and relatable presence to the brand as it continues expanding across Asia and beyond.

Rather than following the traditional professional poker path, Bryan’s relationship with the game has always been driven by passion. His journey began in 2012, when he balanced daytime business commitments with late-night online MTT sessions, steadily sharpening his understanding of poker. That approach has shaped a player motivated by personal growth rather than results alone.

Bryan transitioned into live tournaments in 2016 and has remained focused almost exclusively on the live circuit ever since. Notably, he has never played cash games nor treated poker as a career. Instead, poker has been a long-term pursuit of improvement and competitive challenge. Those values closely align with the spirit the U Series Championship aims to represent through its ambassadors.

Despite never treating poker as a profession, Bryan has recorded more than $900,000 in live tournament cashes, according to his profile on The Hendon Mob.

“Bryan Yang Peng is more than an ambassador; he is a new force in the U Series family,” said Saul Liu, President (Asia Pacific) of U Series Championship. “With Bryan on board, our brand is stronger than ever. His passion for the game, unwavering focus, and dedication to excellence perfectly embody the spirit of the U Series Championship. We are excited for him to inspire players and represent the brand not only across Asia but globally.”

Bryan expressed his excitement about the role, stating, “I am happy to represent the casual players because I do not consider myself a professional poker player. This allows me to understand the needs and preferences of the majority of players and share in their experiences at the tables.”

Fans will get the chance to see Bryan in action soon, as he is set to attend the upcoming U Series Championship stop at Umeda Sky Tower in Osaka on February 27, 2026. His presence adds another layer of anticipation to the series as it continues building momentum in the region.

As the newest U Series Championship ambassador, Bryan will be seen regularly on the tour, joining players on site across the U Series Championship calendar.
