Overview

According to records on Somuchpoker, he has attended four events, cashed in all of them, and reached three final tables. His total live earnings amount to $10,385, with his largest single cash being $4,045.
Career Highlights
Lee's most notable results came during the Super Cup Busan 2025 festival. On June 3, he won the "NIGHT GAME: NLH TURBO 2" event, earning $2,500. The following day, he finished 9th in the "MYSTERY BOUNTY" event for $4,045, and later that same day he won another turbo event—the "NIGHT GAME: NLH TURBO 3"—again taking $2,500. These two victories and one final-table appearance highlight his strong performance during that series.

Notable Hands
During the 2025 Taiwan Millions Tournament (likely a separate event), Lee was involved in a dramatic hand. Holding K♣K♦ against an opponent's A♠A♣, he faced elimination but flopped a king and improved to a full house on the turn, doubling up and sending his opponent to a short stack. The hand was reported in the tournament live updates as "the worst Hold'em cooler" turned in his favor.
Statistics
Lee's results suggest a player who performs well under pressure, particularly in turbo and bounty formats. His deep run in the massive TMT Main Event also indicates an ability to navigate large fields.
