In terms of live cashes, Sam Nee’s earliest result came in February 2011, when he took down The Leisure World Poker Series VI High Roller Event for USD$5,882 held on a Singaporean cruise.

In November of 2012, he placed 4th at the Asia Championship of Poker (ACOP) which netted him a further USD$10,361.

After consistent performances in events with small cashes, Nee made 2 significant final tables at the MPC Macau in March 2015. He proved victorious in theHK$ 4,000 No Limit Hold’em – 6-Max and made 7th place for theHK$ 20,000 No Limit Hold’em Event which gave him total earnings of more than USD$35,000.

Sam Nee has had a successful career so far, moving between online and live events with apparent ease. He hasn’t yet added a major title, or six figure score to his list of achievements yet, but the fact that he has been sponsored by PKC, suggests that big things are expected from him in the future.
