Career Earnings & Biggest Results

His biggest career score came in September 2025 at Triton One Jeju, where he outlasted the field to win the $4,332 + 1,168 + 4,500 No Limit Hold’em – Mystery Bounty (Event #5) for $245,000.
Ji also made headlines in May 2025 by winning the The Lord Poker Tournament (TLPT) Opening Event in Jeju. After qualifying online for $0, he turned his freeroll entry into a $100,000 first-place prize. His consistent performance on the Asian Poker Tour (APT) is highlighted by a 3rd-place finish in the KRW 4,000,000 Single Day High Roller at APT Incheon for KRW 37,600,000 (∼$27,084). Additionally, he finished 5th in the Korea Poker Cup (KPC) Main Event for KRW 60,000,000 (∼$43,852).
Biography & Poker Background
Originally from Shanghai, China, Ji has become a staple of the Jeju poker scene, frequently competing at the Landing Casino in Shinhwa World. While he built his initial reputation in mainland Chinese events like the Shanghai Poker Cup (SHPC) and TJPT, he successfully transitioned to the international stage during the 2020 WSOP Online series, where he cashed in the WSOP Super MILLION$ for $29,160. His rapid ascent in 2025 has moved him into the top 75 of the China All Time Money List.
Play Style & Strategy
Ji is known for a fearless and highly aggressive tournament strategy, often described as being “unafraid to put chips in the middle” even with marginal hands. During his TLPT victory, he famously successfully pulled off an epic triple-barrel bluff holding only five-high during heads-up play. This relentless pressure, combined with strong tactical awareness in Mystery Bounty and Turbo structures, makes him a formidable opponent at any final table.
