🇹🇼 Meng Ling Lin “Candy”

Profile Bio

Meng Ling “Candy” Lin is a poker professional from Taiwan who has amassed around US $1.26 million in live tournament earnings. She competes primarily in the Asia-Pacific region, especially in high-roller events, and has recently emerged as a rising star.

Career Highlights

Lin’s breakout run came in 2024 when she final-tabled both the Super High Roller and the High Roller Finale at the U Series of Poker Taiwan, earning nearly US $30,000 in one week. Following that, in April she took down the Single Day Super High Roller $25,000 buy-in in Jeju, South Korea for US $479,300, beating a field of 70 players and climbing into Taiwan’s top-money list. Her best cash to date is US $479,300.

Recent Results & Global Presence

Over the last 12–24 months Lin has shown strong momentum: her Jeju success cemented her status in Asian high-roller circuits, and she is steadily extending her presence outside Taiwan. Her transition into larger-buy-in events indicates a trajectory from regional contender towards broader global recognition.

Playing Style & Outlook

Lin is known for her calculated yet confident style, choosing to focus on deep-stack, well-structured high-roller events that reduce variance and give room for maneuver. Her recent results suggest she is disciplined and ready for higher stakes, positioning her well for a further rise in the international tournament scene.
