Biography & Poker Background

Based in Taipei, Taiwan, Lin (often known by her nickname “Candy”) has transitioned from a regular enthusiast to a feared competitor in the region’s most expensive tournaments. While she frequently competes in her home ground of Taiwan (CTP Asia Poker Club), she is a staple at major international stops including the World Poker Tour (WPT), Triton Series, and Asian Poker Tour (APT) across Korea, Vietnam, and Las Vegas.

Play Style & Strategy

Unlike many players who stick to Main Events, Lin specializes in High Roller tournaments with smaller, elite fields. She is known for her exceptional composure and fearless aggression against top-tier pros. Her ability to navigate high-pressure ICM situations—often seen battling heads-up for six-figure sums—demonstrates a deep understanding of advanced tournament strategy and stack leverage.
