Tricia Wu

Tricia Wu, also spelled Trisha Wu in some tournament reports, is a professional poker player from the United States. She has been active in the tournament circuit since at least 2019, participating primarily in WSOP Circuit events and the RunGood Poker Series. According to WSOP.com records, Wu has 16 total cashes and over $44,000 in live tournament earnings (including both WSOP and WSOP Circuit results). She does not yet hold a WSOP bracelet or ring, but has accumulated several final table appearances.

Wu’s early recorded results date back to 2019. In March of that year, she cashed in three consecutive WSOP Circuit events in a short span:

• WSOP Circuit - Hard Rock Tulsa Event #3: $400 No-Limit Hold'em – 64th place out of 1,399 entries, earning $1,205 (March 13, 2019)
• WSOP Circuit - Hard Rock Tulsa Event #10: $1,700 Main Event – 12th place out of 533 entries for $16,090 (March 21, 2019)
• WSOP Circuit - Harrah’s Cherokee Event #8: $250 No-Limit Hold'em – 15th place out of 732 entries, earning $1,816 (April 15, 2019)

This strong showing in the spring of 2019 established her as a consistent performer in the Circuit series.

In August 2019, Wu achieved her best live cash to date at the RunGood Poker Series at Downstream Casino & Resort. She finished fourth in the $520+$80 No-Limit Hold'em Main Event, which drew 545 entries. The result paid $11,839, a personal best. During the same series, she also cashed in a $235 No-Limit Hold'em event, placing 117th out of 1,667 entries for $719 (August 5, 2019).

A notable story from the February 2019 RunGood Poker Series Downstream event features Wu and her husband Li Wu. Both late-registered Flight C and were moved to the same table, sitting in adjacent seats. A PokerNews report noted that Li Wu knocked out an opponent with pocket aces, while both players advanced to Day 2. The report lists her as "Trisha Wu" and confirms the marriage.

Wu continued to cash regularly in WSOP Circuit and RunGood events over the following years:

• June 2019 – RGPS Downstream $250 No-Limit Hold'em: 5th place out of 254 entries, $2,794
• January 2022 – WSOP Circuit Choctaw Durant Event #8: 15th place out of 600 entries, $2,370
• April 2022 – WSOP Circuit Harrah’s Cherokee Event #7: $400 Monster Stack: 201st of 2,298 entries, $681
• May 2022 – WSOP Circuit Harrah’s Cherokee Event #12: $400 No-Limit Hold'em: 79th of 794 entries, $1,139
• August 2022 – RGPS Downstream $600 Main Event: 34th of 286 entries, $620
• January 2023 – WSOP Circuit Hard Rock Tulsa Event #7: $400 Double Stack: 62nd of 649 entries, $1,215
• August 2023 – RGPS Hard Rock Tulsa $520+80 Main Event: 104th of 933 entries, $654
• March 2024 – WSOP Circuit Hard Rock Tulsa Event #10: $1,700 Main Event: 41st of 472 entries, $2,937

These results demonstrate her longevity and ability to hang with large fields in mid-stakes tournaments.

Tricia Wu is married to fellow poker player Li Wu. The two have been documented playing together in the 2019 RunGood Poker Series Downstream event, where they were seated next to each other on the same table during Flight C. Both advanced to Day 2. Wu’s consistent presence in the Midwestern and Southern U.S. circuit suggests she is based in that region, though her exact hometown is not publicly listed.

Limited public hand history makes it difficult to characterize Wu’s playing style precisely. However, her tournament results show a preference for No-Limit Hold'em events, with buy-ins typically ranging from $250 to $1,700. She has demonstrated the ability to navigate large fields and make deep runs, including a final table (4th) and several near-final-table finishes. Her relatively frequent cashes indicate a solid, disciplined approach rather than a high-variance style.

While Tricia Wu has not yet won a major title or bracelet, she represents the dedicated, mid-tier tournament grinder who consistently generates income through tournament play. With over $44,000 in career earnings and a steady stream of results spanning five years, she is a respected competitor in the regional circuit scene.
