Shaoufu Wang Wang is a rising Taiwanese poker player who has quickly made a name for himself in the highly competitive Asian circuit. Known for his technical poise and ability to navigate massive championship fields, he achieved a major career breakthrough in 2025 during the prestigious Asian Poker Tour (APT).

Career Earnings & Biggest Results

As of early 2026, Shaou-fu Wang has accumulated total live earnings of nearly $100,000, a figure largely anchored by his spectacular performance in the APT Taipei 2025 National Cup.

His career reached a peak in early 2025 when he outlasted a massive field to finish in 3rd place in the APT National Cup at APT Taipei 2025 , securing a payout of TWD 1,305,000 (~USD 40,278), which stands as his career-best cash according to The Hendon Mob. This result not only marked his first major international podium finish but also catapulted him into the spotlight as one of Taiwan’s top young “guns.”

Wang has maintained strong momentum into the 2025-2026 season with several high-profile results:

16th Place: APT Championship Taipei 2025 National Cup Championship for TWD 220,100 (~USD 7,081).
47th Place: Gods of Poker (GOP) The Titan Assembly – GOP Olympians (January 2026) for TWD 19,900.
18th Place: APT Taipei Player of the Series (POTS) leaderboard rankings, reflecting his extreme consistency across multiple events.

Biography & Poker Background

Based in Taiwan, Shaoufu Wang is a frequent competitor at the CTP Club Asia Poker Arena in Taipei. He represents the “new generation” of Taiwanese talent that has emerged alongside the island’s explosive poker boom. Wang transitioned from a local enthusiast to a serious tournament contender, focusing on major tours such as the Asian Poker Tour (APT) and the Taiwan Millions Tournament (TMT). His ability to consistently find cashes in some of the largest “National Cup” style events in the world has earned him the respect of his peers in the East Asian professional community.

Play Style & Strategy

Shaoufu Wang is recognized for a disciplined and resilient tournament approach. Navigating fields that often exceed 2,000 entries (as seen in the APT National Cup) requires exceptional patience and a sharp understanding of tournament dynamics. During his 3rd-place run in Taipei, live reporting noted his ability to maneuver a middle stack effectively and apply pressure during the bubble and final table transition phases. His strategy often centers on a solid fundamental baseline, allowing him to survive high-variance situations and capitalize on deep-stacked play in the late stages of championship events.
