Chin Wei Lim, often known by his alias “Webster,” is a Malaysian professional poker player and a standout figure in the global high-stakes community. A World Series of Poker bracelet winner and a mainstay of the Triton Poker Series, Lim is recognized for his technical adaptability and his role as one of the elite “Malaysian Mafia” crushers who dominate the high-roller circuit.

Career Earnings & Biggest Results

With total live tournament earnings surpassing $17,027,000 (according to The Hendon Mob), Lim is one of the top 5 earners in Malaysia’s history. His career-best live score of $2,416,241 came from his victory in the 2019 World Series of Poker Europe (WSOPE) €100,000 Diamond High Roller. Lim is a WSOP bracelet winner and has recorded numerous seven-figure scores, including a 10th-place finish in the 2019 £1.05M Triton Million for Charity for $1,342,000. He is also a champion on the Triton Poker Series , notably winning the 2023 Triton Vietnam $25k GG Super Millions for $965,000. His sustained performance in invitationals and high-stakes hubs contributes to an estimated poker net worth of over $15 million.

Biography & Poker Background

Born in 1992 and residing in Selangor, Malaysia, Chin Wei Lim’s ascent in the poker world began in the card rooms of Macau in 2014. Originally focused on No-Limit Hold’em, he quickly integrated into the tight-knit group of Malaysian high rollers alongside peers like Paul Phua and Richard Yong. Lim gained international recognition during a historic 2019 run, where he cashed for over $7 million in a single year across London, Barcelona, and Rozvadov. Unlike many of his peers who stay strictly in the Asian circuit, Lim is a global traveler, frequently appearing at WSOP Las Vegas and EPT stops in Europe. Known for his humility and quiet focus, he represents the new generation of Asian pros who combine traditional gambling intuition with modern analytical rigor.

Play Style & Strategy

Lim is renowned for a “versatile and fearless” play style that allows him to excel in both standard No-Limit Hold’em and the volatile format of Short Deck Ante-Only. His strategy is characterized by an elite ability to “switch gears,” moving from a disciplined GTO (Game Theory Optimal) baseline to a hyper-aggressive exploitative mode when he senses weakness. He is particularly effective in high-pressure final table situations, as demonstrated during his WSOPE victory where he outmaneuvered a field of elite pros including Phil Ivey and Christoph Vogelsang. Lim’s approach involves a thorough analysis of opponent tendencies, allowing him to make thin value bets and disciplined folds that preserve his stack in high-roller environments. This adaptability makes him a formidable threat in the prestigious Triton Poker Series invitationals.
