Career Earnings & Biggest Results
According to The Hendon Mob, Foo has accumulated $47,592 in total live earnings, placing him 167th on the Singapore All Time Money List. His career-best performance occurred at the Macau Poker Cup in January 2013, where he won the HK$ 5,000 No Limit Hold’em Bounty event for HK$ 156,400 ($20,176). He has continued to find success in recent years, particularly in Taiwan, where he recorded multiple final table finishes.

Other notable recent scores include a 4th place finish in the Players Series Taipei Superstack for NT$ 56,000 ($1,723) and a 5th place finish in the PLO-5 Deepstack event at the Players Series Taiwan Championship II in late 2025.
Biography & Poker Background
Based in Singapore, Gerald Foo has been active in the live poker scene since at least 2013. His early career was marked by success in Macau, the traditional heart of Asian high-stakes poker, but he has recently shifted his volume to the burgeoning poker hubs of Taipei and Manila. His longevity in the game is evident, with results spanning from his 2013 Macau victory to consistent cashes in the 2024 and 2025 seasons of the Asian Poker Tour (APT) and Players Series, demonstrating a sustained commitment to the regional grind.
Play Style & Strategy
Foo’s tournament resume reveals a player who is highly adaptable and comfortable in specialized formats. His victory in a Bounty event and a deep run in a Head Hunter tournament suggest an aggressive style that capitalizes on knockout mathematics and player elimination. Furthermore, his recent final table appearance in a Pot Limit Omaha 5-Card (PLO-5) event indicates significant proficiency in mixed games, distinguishing him from players who strictly focus on No Limit Hold’em. This willingness to compete in “Deepstack” and “Turbo” structures further highlights his versatility and understanding of varying stack dynamics.
