Leslie Tsui is a poker player from Hong Kong who burst onto the live circuit in late 2024, quickly establishing himself with a major final table appearance in Australia and a maiden title in South Korea.
Career Earnings & Biggest Results
With over $80,000 in total live earnings (according to The Hendon Mob) accumulated in just over a year of active play, Leslie Tsui is a rising talent in the Asian poker scene.
His breakout performance occurred at his very first major live stop, the WSOP Circuit Sydney in November 2024. Tsui navigated a massive field in the A$2,500 Main Event, entering Day 3 as the chip leader before ultimately finishing 7th for a career-best score of A$63,130 (~$41,069).
He carried this momentum into the 2025 season, where he captured his first live trophy at the Asian Poker Tour (APT) Jeju in September. Tsui won Event #16: No Limit Hold’em Turbo, defeating a field of 70 entries to claim the title and KRW 9,286,000 (~$6,600). During the same festival, he made a deep run in the record-breaking APT Jeju Main Event, finishing 16th for KRW 28,280,000 (~$20,070).

Biography & Poker Background
Hailing from Hong Kong, Leslie Tsui describes himself as a recreational player who transitioned from home games to the global circuit. His debut at the WSOP Circuit in Sydney was largely a “vacation decision,” yet his immediate success – bagging the chip lead deep in a Main Event – proved he could compete with seasoned regulars.
Since that breakout, Tsui has become a frequent traveler on the Asian circuit, logging results in Manila, Taipei, Macau, and Jeju throughout 2025. His rapid adaptation from social play to deep runs in international Main Events marks him as a player with significant natural aptitude.

Play Style & Strategy
Tsui’s tournament record highlights a specific proficiency in Turbo structures. His maiden title in Jeju and a podium finish (3rd) at the Manila Megastack Turbo event suggest a strong grasp of short-stack mathematics and push-fold ranges.
Despite his “recreational” background, his play style is described as patient and observant. In interviews, he has noted a preference for waiting for “winning hands rather than monster hands,” a disciplined approach that has served him well in navigating large-field Main Events.
