Hungte Lee, frequently recorded as Hung Te Lee in tournament databases, is a Taiwanese professional poker player who has become a prominent name in the Asian poker scene. Known for his breakout performances in massive tournament fields, he has solidified his reputation as one of Taiwan’s top-tier competitors.

Career Earnings & Rankings

According to The Hendon Mob, Hungte Lee has amassed nearly $100,000 in total live tournament earnings. He currently holds the 218th position on the Taiwan All Time Money List and reached a career-high Global Poker Index (GPI) ranking within the top 6,500 worldwide during 2025.

His career-best live cash of $17,166 stems from a 4th-place finish in the Main Event at the HKPPA Premier League.

The year 2025 has been a definitive breakout season for Lee, marked by a major title and consistent deep runs in high-stakes fields. His recent successes include:

5th Place, Taiwan Millions Tournament (TMT) 18 High Roller (2025).
36th Place, APT Championship Taipei High Roller – Ultra Stack (November 2025).
90th Place, TMT Championship Mini Main (2025).
120th Place, Players Series Championship II Taipei Main Event (2025).

His victory in the APT Taipei 2025 Mini Main Event was particularly dramatic. After navigating a record-breaking field of 1,760 entries, Hungte Lee entered a lightning-fast heads-up battle with Japan’s Ryosuke Ikari that lasted only one hand, with his pocket jacks holding up against threes to secure his maiden APT title.

Biography & Poker Background

Hungte Lee is a local favorite in Taipei, where he is a frequent competitor at the Asia Poker Arena and various Chinese Texas Hold’em Poker Association (CTP) venues. While his professional reach is centered in Asia, he has demonstrated his skill in various international formats, including a notable performance in the 2023 WPT Prime Taiwan, where he was a key figure during the bubble stages. Beyond his live tournament success, he has also recorded cashes in online series such as the WSOP Online Circuit.
