Timothy Chung is a Hong Kong professional poker player, widely recognized as a “club regular” and a dominant force in the British poker scene. Known for his deep ties to the Nottingham-based Dusk Till Dawn club, he is a major figure in the UK tournament circuit, currently residing in Birmingham, England.

Career Earnings & Biggest Results

With total live earnings reaching approximately $2,836,935 (The Hendon Mob), Timothy Chung ranks 11th on the Hong Kong All Time Money List. He reached a major milestone in 2025, with his best live cash of $637,250 helping propel his career earnings past the $2 million mark.

Biography & Poker Background

Born in Hong Kong, Chung moved to the United Kingdom and became a staple of the local poker community in Birmingham and Nottingham. His first recorded live tournament win dates back to August 2012, when he won a £150 Deepstack at Dusk Till Dawn for £15,373. Over the last decade, he has transitioned from a local hero to an international threat, cashing in major events from the WSOP in Las Vegas to Triton Poker series in South Korea and Cyprus.

Play Style & Strategy

Chung is described as a relentless and aggressive competitor. During his 2024 WPT Prime UK victory, he entered the final table with a massive chip lead—over double that of his nearest rival—and expertly leveraged that stack to dominate play, claiming the title in just 16 heads-up hands. His strategy often involves consistent pressure and high-level decision-making in short-handed and final table situations. Beyond No-Limit Hold’em, he has shown proficiency in other formats, recently recording a 2nd place finish in a Pot Limit Omaha (PLO) Turbo K.O. event during the 2025 WSOP International Circuit.
