Siyu Ji 🇨🇳

Ji Siyu, from China, has emerged as one of the leading Chinese players dominating major poker centers across Asia. Previously considered an amateur, her rapid rise from late 2025 to early 2026 propelled her into the ranks of highly respected professionals. Her historic victory at the 2026 APT Jeju Classic is a testament to her progress and perseverance on the international stage.

Ji is known for her resilient and opportunistic tournament strategy, a style perfectly suited to the intense competition of high-stakes regional events. In the Jeju Island tournament, she displayed remarkable composure, rallying from a chip disadvantage to ultimately triumph in a five-hand heads-up match against compatriot Zhang Yifeng. Her strategy typically involves steadily accumulating chips in the mid-game, then employing aggressive adjustments at the final table—often capitalizing on opponents' "upsets"—to gain the maximum advantage.

Chi Si-yu is currently experiencing a career breakthrough, with total live tournament winnings reaching approximately $194,773. She has demonstrated exceptional competitive skills, particularly in high-stakes APT events, where she excels. Key tournament highlights include: 2026 APT Jeju Classic: Winning the Zodiac Classic title and earning a career-high $175,680 (approximately 252,980,400 KRW) in live tournament winnings. This victory is significant, making her only the second woman in APT history to win the Zodiac Classic. 2025 APT Seoul: Finishing third in the No-Limit Hold'em Elimination Tournament, winning $19,093 (approximately 26,730,000 KRW). APTC Qualification: In addition to her Jeju title, she also secured a $10,000 (approximately 14.4 million KRW) qualification for the APT Championship (APTC) Main Event, to be held in Taipei in November 2026.
