Yuanxi Chen 🇸🇬

Originally from Singapore and currently residing in Kansas City, MO, Chen has become a true “nomad” of the global live circuit. While he maintains a strong focus on the booming Asian hubs of Taipei, Jeju, and Osaka, his residence in the United States allows him to balance his schedule with international competition. Currently ranked 47th on the Singapore All Time Money List, he has achieved a significant milestone by surpassing the $200,000 earnings mark in a short professional career.

Chen is recognized for an aggressive and adaptable tournament strategy, excelling in high-pressure environments like Main Events and High Roller turbos. His ability to navigate massive, diverse field sizes, demonstrated by his runner-up finish in the large-field ZSOP Main Event, highlights a deep understanding of tactical pressure and final table dynamics. He often leverages his position and stack size effectively to outmaneuver opponents, making him a formidable threat in the later stages of major international festivals.

According to The Hendon Mob, his total earnings stand at $209,865. He secured his career-best live score in 2025 at ZSOP The Final Snake in Taipei, where he finished as the runner-up in the Zodiac Snake Main Event for TWD 3,410,000 (∼$105,438). His presence on the Asian circuit is significant, with deep runs across several major series. In 2025, he showcased his skills in South Korea at the K Poker Cup (KPC), finishing 3rd in the Main Event for KRW 3,000,000 (∼$2,200). He also recorded multiple cashes in Taiwan, including a runner-up finish in the ZSOP 2025 Taipei Hyper NLH for TWD 8,900 (∼$275). Additionally, he has successfully expanded his reach to the Japanese market, placing 4th in the USOP Japan 2025 Osaka Ultra High Roller II for JPY 300,000 (∼$1,965). Yuanxi Chen
