Wayne Jin Wing Lam (often listed as Wayne Lam) is a professional poker player from Hong Kong who has established himself as one of the breakout stars of the Asian circuit in 2025, recording massive six-figure scores in Taiwan.

Career Earnings & Biggest Results

According to The Hendon Mob, Wayne Lam has amassed over $530,000 in total live earnings, with the vast majority of his winnings coming from a spectacular run in 2025. He currently ranks among the top 40 on the Hong Kong All Time Money List.

He achieved his largest career victory at the APT Championship Taipei 2025 (November 2025). Lam triumphed in the Mini High Roller Championship (Event #1017), defeating a field of 147 entries to win his first “Lion Trophy” and a career-best prize of TWD 8,569,093 (~$273,600).

This victory served as “redemption” for his performance earlier in the year. In May 2025, at the APT Taipei Main Event, Lam made a deep run to the final table and finished in 3rd place for TWD 6,867,000 (~$211,000). These two results combined account for nearly half a million dollars in earnings within a single season.

Biography & Poker Background

Hailing from Hong Kong, Lam has become a fixture at the Asian Poker Tour (APT) stops. His 2025 campaign has been defined by his ability to navigate large fields and close out tournaments against top regional competition.

His journey in the May Main Event was particularly notable as he entered via an online qualifier, turning a small investment into a massive payout. His return to Taipei in November to capture the Mini High Roller title confirmed that his Main Event success was no fluke, solidifying his reputation as a high-stakes competitor.

Play Style & Strategy

Lam’s play style is characterized by “composed aggression.” In his Main Event run, he entered the final table as the chip leader and applied significant pressure, though he ultimately fell short of the title. His ability to adjust his strategy was evident in the Mini High Roller, where he successfully closed out the tournament heads-up against Malaysia’s Wai Kiat Lee to claim the win.
