Career Earnings & Biggest Results

According to The Hendon Mob, Justin Tsui has amassed over $987,000 in total live earnings, rapidly approaching the $1 million career milestone. His consistent deep runs have placed him among the top 30 on the Hong Kong All Time Money List.

Prior to this, he proved his skill in the UK by winning the GUKPT Coventry Main Event in July 2024 for £100,000.

Most recently, at the APT Championship Taipei 2025 (November 2025), Tsui continued his strong form. He finished as the Runner-Up in the Freezeout Championship for TWD 1,744,800 (~$54,345), further solidifying his reputation as a global competitor.

Biography & Poker Background

Originally from Hong Kong, Tsui is now based in London, England, where he is a regular on the Grosvenor UK Poker Tour (GUKPT) and other European series.

His ability to seamlessly transition between European fields and the Asian circuit distinguishes him from many of his peers. After conquering major events in Coventry and Marrakech, his return to Asia for the APT Taipei series demonstrated his versatility and ambition to compete globally.

Play Style & Strategy

Tsui is known for a “calculated approach” that has allowed him to navigate massive fields, such as the 1,500+ entry field in Marrakech. He is capable of aggressive play when needed – evidenced by high-pressure shoves at final tables – but balances this with the patience required for deep tournament runs. His consistency in Main Events suggests a strong understanding of ICM and final table dynamics.
