Duhan Lee 🇰🇷

Originally from South Korea and currently residing there, Duhan Lee has transitioned from a local competitor to a feared professional regular on the Asian circuit. While he is a mainstay of prominent Asian festivals such as the Asian Poker Tour (APT) and Poker Dream , his professional reach extends to the Philippines and Japan. His rapid ascent in the rankings is reflected in his Global Poker Index (GPI) ranking, where he reached a career-high of 2,328th in the world during late 2025, currently ranking as the 32nd best player in South Korea.

Duhan Lee is known for a versatile and high-pressure tournament strategy, often excelling in “Hyper Turbo” and “Mega Stack” formats where technical precision is paramount. During his victory at the 2025 Malaysia Open, he demonstrated the elite tactical discipline required to navigate a major field and secure a career-defining title. His strategic approach combines a disciplined understanding of No Limit Hold’em with the aggression needed to thrive in championship environments, a skill evidenced by his ability to consistently reach final tables across both standard championships and specialized “Crazy Irish” and “Survival Bounty” events.

With over $164,741 in total live tournament earnings, Duhan Lee currently ranks 187th on the South Korea All Time Money List. According to The Hendon Mob, he achieved his career-best live cash of $64,753 in April 2025, a score that solidified his standing among the top active players in his home country. The 2025 season has served as a definitive breakout year for Lee, yielding multiple titles and high-stakes results across Malaysia, Taiwan, and Vietnam.
