Calvin Sungwon Lee is a South‐Korea‐based (USA residence) tournament poker professional who has built a strong presence on the Asian live circuit. According to his Hendon Mob profile, Lee’s total live earnings exceed US $4.2 million.
One of his recent standout achievements was winning the High Roller Day event at the 2025 Korea Poker Cup Series 2025 (Jeju) for approximately US $105,750.
Lee is known for his steady grind and ability to thrive in large, competitive fields. From earlier deep runs – such as second place at the 2019 APT Seoul 2019 Main Event where he finished 2nd for KRW 36,242,000 (≈ US $30,461) – to high roller successes, he demonstrates both longevity and adaptability.
As he continues to compete across major Asian venues, Lee seems poised to convert his consistent performance into headline tournament victories.
