2025 Season: The “High-Stakes” Expansion

The 2025 season has been the most productive year of Lin’s career, with over USD 51,000 in recorded winnings. He has successfully bridged the gap between the massive-field Asian market and the elite high-roller environment.

Triton Poker Super High Roller Series Jeju (Sept 2025): Recorded a deep run in the USD 15,000 No Limit Hold’em – 8 Handed (Event #1), finishing 54th for USD 26,500. This result stands as his career-best cash and established his ability to compete against the world’s elite “high-roller” player pool.
APT Championship Taipei (Nov 2025): Demonstrated consistent technicality in the flagship Asian series:
- 6th place in the Hyper Turbo event for USD 1,620.
- Recorded a cash in the 7-Max Championship.
World Poker Tour (WPT) Prime Taiwan (2024–2025): A consistent performer in the WPT Prime circuit, finishing 72nd in the WPT Prime Taiwan Championship earlier in the year.

Playing Style & Background

Residing in Taiwan, Lin is recognized as a Short-Handed and High-Pressure specialist.

His play style is characterized by:

Elite Navigation of “Hyper” Formats: His final table appearance in the APT Hyper Turbo suggests a high level of mathematical proficiency in short-stack push/fold dynamics and fast-paced decision-making.
High-Roller Adaptability: Transitioning from mid-stakes regional events to the Triton circuit indicates a rapidly maturing technical game and a high degree of mental resilience under the pressure of five-figure buy-ins.
Large Field Resilience: Consistently reaching the money in the APT Main Event and WPT Prime—structures often featuring over 2,000 entries—highlights his ability to navigate the “marathon” stages of modern championship poker.
