His career-best score came early in 2025 at the Manila Megastack 21 , where he finished 3rd in the Main Event for ₱2,502,500 ($42,815). He closed out the year with yet another trophy at the Manila Megastack 23 in December 2025, winning the ₱15,000 Super Stack event.

Biography & Poker Background

Originally from Cebu, Philippines, Lim has been a dominant force in the local scene for nearly a decade. He first gained major international attention by winning the APT Manila Main Event in 2016, proving early on that he could navigate championship fields. Beyond his live results, Lim is a well-known figure in the Filipino poker community as a streamer, sharing his sessions and strategy with fans on social media. His resume is incredibly diverse, featuring victories in everything from prestigious Main Events to fast-paced Turbo side events across the Philippines.

Play Style & Strategy

Lim is often described as a patient and calculated player who excels at trapping aggressive opponents. Historical analysis of his major final tables notes his willingness to take “calculated risks” and his ability to shift gears from a low-risk survival strategy to capitalizing on opponents’ mistakes. However, his recent success in “Super Stack” and “Turbo” formats also demonstrates a mastery of short-stack math and ICM pressure, making him a dual threat in both deep-structured Main Events and rapid-fire tournaments.
