Chang Seog Chae 🇰🇷

Chae holds South Korean nationality and resides in South Korea. Prior to his breakout performance, he was relatively unknown in the broader poker world, with his primary experience being built in smaller, large-field events on the Asian live circuit. His consistent participation, including cashes in the Mystery Bounty and Super Hyper Turbo events at the APT Championship, demonstrates his dedication to the game.

Chae is known for being a steady competitor in deep-stack, large-field No Limit Hold’em tournaments. His final table appearance and high-ranking finish in the Natural8 Cup Championship demonstrated his ability to navigate crucial elimination phases and use key hands, such as winning a huge pot with a pair of kings, to build momentum against strong opponents.

According to The Hendon Mob, Chang Seog Chae has total live earnings of $84,757, with a best live cash of $67,915. His largest triumph came recently in November 2025 at the APT Championship, Taipei 2025 . He finished 5th in the TWD 93,000 Natural8 Cup Championship Freezeout, securing a massive score of TWD 2,105,400 (~$67,915). This single score significantly surpassed his prior total career earnings and set a new personal best live cash for him. Chang Seog Chae (photo courtesy of Asian Poker Tour)
