Play Style & Biography

Residing in Stockton, California, Kim is a “transcontinental” regular who bridges the gap between the aggressive, high-action meta of Jeju and Manila and the technical, range-driven environment of the US West Coast circuit.

His play style is characterized by:

Knockout and Bounty Technicality: A significant portion of his 2024–2025 final tables have come in Knockout and Bounty formats. This suggests an advanced understanding of bounty equity adjustments and shifting shove-call ranges based on prize-pool rewards.
Turbo Specialist: His results in “Turbie” and “Pop the Top” events indicate a high proficiency in navigating the shallow stack depths of accelerated blind structures.
Championship Stamina: His deep run in the WSOPC Northern California Main Event (21st place) proves his ability to maintain strategic focus over multi-day, 12-hour sessions.
