Kuisong Wu

Kuisong Wu first emerged on the radar of the poker world in 2018, when he defeated a world-class field including Michael Addamo and Mikita Badziakouski to win the Poker King Cup Super High Roller in Macau. Since that victory, Wu has meticulously developed his game, focusing on the highest stakes of No-Limit Hold’em and the high-action Short Deck format. By 2025, he had become a permanent fixture on the Triton Poker Series, often seen competing at the final tables of their most expensive events. Based in China, Wu is recognized as a quiet but lethal presence at the table, characterized by his deep focus and tactical patience.

Wu is known for a disciplined, high-IQ tournament strategy that excels in deep-stacked, elite environments. His background in the Macau high-stakes scene gave him early exposure to aggressive Asian dynamics, which he has successfully merged with modern GTO (Game Theory Optimal) principles. Strategically, he is particularly effective in Short Deck (Ante-Only) formats, where his understanding of equity and hand strength in 36-card poker is considered top-tier. In the 2026 Triton series, he demonstrated an elite ability to navigate final table bubbles, as seen in his deep runs in both the Jupiter and Short Deck events. His approach emphasizes precision in range construction and a calm demeanor that makes him difficult to read even under the highest pressure.

As of March 2026, Kuisong Wu’s total live tournament earnings have reached $1,728,317, according to The Hendon Mob. His career reached a historic peak in September 2025 at Triton Jeju II, where he finished 6th in the $100,000 NLHE Main Event for a career-best $1,065,000. He carried that momentum into 2026, most notably at Triton One Jeju in March, where he secured a 6th-place finish in the $25,000 NLHE Jupiter Event for $304,000. With a series of high-profile cashes in both No-Limit Hold’em and Short Deck, Wu’s estimated poker net worth is valued at approximately $2.5 million.
