Beng Hong Ker is a Singaporean professional poker player who has become a familiar face on the Asian circuit, particularly known for his consistency in Taiwan and the Philippines and his proficiency in mixed game variants.

Career Earnings & Biggest Results

With over $322,000 in total live earnings (according to The Hendon Mob), Beng Hong Ker currently ranks 30th on the Singapore All Time Money List. His career is defined by frequent deep runs in mid-stakes tournaments rather than a single massive outlier score, reflecting a grinder’s work ethic.

His Best Live Cash of $37,499 highlights a résumé built on volume and reliability. Throughout the 2025 season, Ker was a regular finalist at major festivals. In June 2025, he finished 2nd in the No Limit Hold’em – K.O Bounty event at the ACE Poker League (APL) Taipei, earning NT$ 206,516 (~$6,998).

He also made a significant deep run at the Players Series (PS) Championship II Taipei in August 2025. Entering the final day of the Natural8 Open Main Event fourth in chips, he navigated a tough field to secure a notable cash, further solidifying his standing in the region.

Ker is also a verified Asian Poker Tour (APT) champion. In late 2024, he demonstrated his versatility by winning Event #57: Turbo – Atomic Pineapple at APT Manila, defeating a field of specialists to claim the trophy and PHP 99,048.

Beng Hong Ker Poker Player

Biography & Poker Background

Hailing from Singapore, Beng Hong Ker is a dedicated grinder who spends much of his time competing in Taiwan (frequently at the CTP Club) and the Philippines.

He is part of the strong contingent of Singaporean players who travel the Asian circuit year-round. While he competes in standard No Limit Hold’em Main Events, Ker has a reputation for entering – and succeeding in – non-standard formats. His victory in an “Atomic Pineapple” event and consistent cashes in Bounty tournaments suggest a player who enjoys the variety and strategic adjustments required for mixed games and complex structures.

Play Style & Strategy

Beng Hong Ker’s results indicate a versatile play style. His success in Bounty and Turbo events points to a strong grasp of short-stack aggression and knockout mathematics (ICM), where adjusting ranges to account for bounty values is critical.

Additionally, his willingness to play variants like Atomic Pineapple (a variant of Open Face Chinese Poker) suggests he possesses a strong adaptability and theoretical understanding of game mechanics beyond just two-card Hold’em.
