Career Earnings & Biggest Results

According to The Hendon Mob, Da Vin Hyun has accumulated over $18,500 in total live tournament earnings, with the vast majority of this success coming in the late 2025 season. His career-best live cash of NTD 532,440 (~$17,356) was achieved in November 2025 at the APT Championship Taipei , where he triumphed in a historic field.

Hyun’s 2025 campaign is highlighted by a breakout performance in the Sunday Super Stack on November 16, 2025. In an event that broke in-country records for field size and unique entries, he navigated 436 players to reach a three-handed ICM chop, ultimately finishing 1st place to claim the trophy. Just days earlier, he demonstrated his ability to grind through massive fields by finishing 140th out of 2,398 entries in the National Cup Championship (Event #01), securing an additional $1,177. These results have catapulted his standing on the South Korea All Time Money List, where he currently ranks 1,511th.

Biography & Poker Background

Originally from South Korea, Hyun has become a prominent name in the “New Era” of the Asian Poker Tour. He built his early reputation as a resilient tournament regular, finding substantial success in major international festivals held in Taiwan. His career trajectory is defined by a transition from high-volume grinding to championship-level success, specifically targeting prestigious regional series like the APT Championship.

Play Style & Strategy

Da Vin Hyun is known for a calculated and persistent play style, particularly excelling in large-field, high-stack formats. His victory in the record-breaking Sunday Super Stack, which required play well into the late night, demonstrated exceptional mental stamina and ICM awareness during high-pressure final table negotiations. He effectively leverages his stack to navigate massive fields, a skill proven by his 100% “In The Money” (ITM) rate across his most recent major festival appearances.
