Yanqing Wang is a Chinese poker player who has become an active participant in the Asian tournament circuit. While she shares a name with several prominent figures—including a high-ranking professional badminton player and a major manufacturing CEO—she has established her own presence in the live poker scene, specifically at major festivals in South Korea.

Career Earnings & Biggest Results

According to the official Hendon Mob Poker Database, Yanqing Wang has total live earnings of approximately $1,721. Her career has been defined by a focused and consistent performance at specialized regional festivals during late 2025.

Her most significant results to date include:

Jeju Poker Festival (2025): She achieved a career-best 4th-place finish in a Super Hyper Turbo event for $840 (KRW 1,200,000).
Consistent Final Tables: During the same festival in Jeju, she secured an 8th-place finish for $462 and a 9th-place finish for $419, demonstrating a 100% “In The Money” (ITM) rate for her attended events at that series.

Biography & Poker Background

Originally from China, Wang is part of a growing wave of Chinese players traveling to Jeju, South Korea, to compete in international-grade events. These festivals often integrate major tours like the Red Dragon Poker Tour (RDPT) and WPT Prime Korea. Currently, she is ranked 9,118th on the China All Time Money List. It is important to distinguish her from the male badminton player Yanqing Wang (born 2007) or the manufacturing billionaire Wang Yanqing, who operates in the industrial sector.

Play Style & Strategy

Wang has demonstrated a strong aptitude for Super Hyper Turbo No-Limit Hold’em formats. This specific variant of poker requires a high-pressure strategy focusing on:

Short-Stack Mastery: Effectively managing a stack that often falls below 10–15 big blinds very quickly.
Aggressive Push-Fold Ranges: Making mathematically precise decisions to move “all-in” or fold based on position and stack size.
ICM Awareness: Navigating the final table dynamics to maximize payouts, as evidenced by her multiple top-10 finishes in a single festival.
