Kiwanont Sukhum 🇹🇭

Residing in Bangkok, Thailand, Kiwanont Sukhum is part of the new generation of Thai players making their mark internationally. His rapid ascent in 2025 – featuring a win in the Philippines and a six-figure score in Taiwan – has propelled him to 11th place on the Thailand All Time Money List. He remains highly active on the tour, regularly competing in festivals like the World Series of Poker (WSOP) in Las Vegas and the Asia Pacific Poker Tour (APPT) .

Kiwanont Sukhum has demonstrated exceptional stamina and consistency in large-field Main Events. His victory in the Manila Megastack (over 650 players) and deep run in Taipei (over 2,000 players) suggest a strategy optimized for navigating massive fields and high-pressure ICM situations.

According to The Hendon Mob, Kiwanont Sukhum has built a live tournament resume with over $386,000 in total earnings, with the vast majority of his success coming in the 2024-2025 season. His most lucrative performance to date occurred at the APT Taipei 2025 festival (May edition), where he reached the final table of the massive Main Event. He finished in 6th place to secure his career-best live cash of TWD 3,564,000 (~$110,000). Earlier in 2025, Sukhum achieved his first major championship victory by winning the Manila Megastack 22 Main Event (March 2025). He topped a field of 652 entries to claim the trophy and a top prize of ₱3,410,000 (~$60,600), confirming his status as a rising star in the Southeast Asian circuit.
