2024–2025 Season Highlights

The 2025 season has been a year of geographic expansion for Ng, with recorded cashes in major festivals across Taiwan, South Korea, and the Philippines.

APT Taipei (2025): Recorded a deep run in the Mini Main Event, navigating a massive field to finish 42nd for $1,890.
TMT Championship II (October 2025): Demonstrated elite field endurance by finishing 88th in the Main Event out of 1,076 entries for $2,110.
WPT Prime Taiwan (August 2025): Secured back-to-back cashes in side events, including a top-20 finish in the No Limit Hold’em – Turbo event.
Asian Poker Tour (APT) Jeju (2024): Recorded multiple cashes in the Deepstack and Hyper Turbo formats, proving his proficiency in fast-paced structures.

Playing Style & Background

Residing in Hong Kong, Ng is part of a dedicated cohort of players who travel to Taipei’s Asia Poker Arena to take advantage of the high-volume tournament schedules.

His play style is characterized by:

Turbo & Hyper-Turbo Technicality: A significant portion of his results come from accelerated blind structures. This suggests a strong grasp of “push-fold” mathematics and the ability to make high-pressure decisions with shallow stacks.
Large Field Navigation: Consistently reaching the top 10% of fields with over 1,000 entries (such as the TMT Main Event) indicates a disciplined early-game strategy and strong mental stamina for multi-day play.
Regional Versatility: By competing across different Asian metas, he has developed an adaptable strategy that exploits the aggressive tendencies common in the Taiwanese circuit while maintaining the technical discipline required for major tours like the WPT and APT.
