Big bagger Choi Jaeki is a South Korean-born poker player known for his ability to bet and win big. He began his professional poker career post-pandemic, participating in local tournaments like Ghost—Goi Soo Jeon, J88PT Korea, and the MSL Road Series, and placing first in most events.

From 2020 to 2023, Choi played exclusively on South Korean felt, eventually gracing Philippine soil in May 2023 at the Manila Super Series 17, where he placed 33rd in the Main Event.

Choi made his first five-digit win in 2021 in the KRW 1,000,000 + 100,000 No Limit Hold’em – High Roller at J88PT Korea X Pokerface, enjoying a prize pot of KRW 30,000,000 (USD 26,281). For his best live cash, Choi added nearly USD 10,000 to this record, earning himself VND 781,207,156 (USD 32,140) at Asian Poker Tour Hanoi Billions’ Main Event.

Since then, Choi continued his international poker career outside South Korea, participating in events in Vietnam, Taiwan, and the Philippines. He placed first in several tournaments, including USOP Hanoi’s Freezeout Event and APT Hanoi Billions’ Turbo Double Stack event.

He recently participated in the PokerStars Live Manila Special, placing third in the ₱10,000 No-Limit Hold’em event.
