Hua Wei Lin 🇹🇼

Originally from Taiwan and based in Taipei City, Hua Wei Lin is a professional player who has been active since 2021. While she is a mainstay of the native Taiwanese poker scene, she frequently travels to compete in South Korea, Macau, Cambodia, and the United States. Her international resume includes a notable 23rd-place finish in the $1,000 Ladies Championship at the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) and a deep run in the $2,500 Freezeout at the 2025 WSOP. Her profile is further bolstered by her status as an ambassador for Natural8, often seen representing the brand at the major Asian Poker Tour (APT) stops.

Hua Wei Lin is known for a versatile and resilient tournament strategy, often excelling in “High Roller,” “Double Stack,” and “Freezeout” formats where deep-stack play and tactical patience are required. Her ability to navigate massive fields was evidenced by her 11th-place finish in the 2025 APT Championship Taipei Mini Main Event, which featured 1,603 entries. Her approach combines a disciplined understanding of No Limit Hold’em with the aggression needed to thrive on the high-stakes Asian circuit, earning her a position among the Top 10 ranked Taiwanese players in the Global Poker Index (GPI).

With over $710,737 in total live earnings, Hua Wei Lin currently ranks 28th on the Taiwan All Time Money List. According to The Hendon Mob, her career-best live cash of $100,000 was achieved in 2025 at The Lord Poker Tournament (TLPT) Jeju, where she secured a 7th-place finish in the $15,000 Main Event.
