Winfred Yu
Hong Kong, Hong Kong
Winfred Yu is one of the driving forces behind high-stakes poker in Asia and a regular in the Triton Super High Roller Series, the tour he helped shape. His results reflect that: an 11th place in the £1,050,000 Triton Million for Charity in London in 2019 was worth $1.34 million, he finished fourth in the HK$1,000,000 Short Deck event at Triton Montenegro in 2018, and in April 2022 he won the $75,000 Short Deck event at Triton Cyprus for $1.01 million. Short deck is his speciality. He ranks third on Hong Kong's all-time money list, and his career total moved up sharply over September 2026, from $12.34 million to $14,116,379 — a jump of close to $1.8 million that his profile page will need to be re-read to account for.
