Biography & Poker Background

Originally from South Korea, Jinwoo Jung has transitioned from a steady grinder in the Korean local scene to an international high roller regular. While he remains active in major Korean series such as the Poker Champions Tour (PCT), where he won a High Roller title in Busan for KRW 80,000,000 (~USD 60,908), he is now a staple of the booming Taipei poker scene. His consistent appearances at the CTP Asia Poker Arena and Asian Poker Tour (APT) festivals have made him one of the most feared competitors in regional mid-to-high stakes tournaments.

Play Style & Strategy

Jinwoo Jung is recognized for his technical proficiency and specialized expertise in high-stakes “Turbo” and “Hyper Turbo” formats. His strategy centers on navigating the high-variance dynamics of short-stacked tournament play, where his aggressive decision-making and ICM awareness allow him to dominate elite fields. His ability to maintain a high win rate in limited-field High Roller events suggests a strong focus on exploitative adjustments against other professional players, making him a perennial threat in the “Master” and “Super High Roller” categories.
