Yubo Sun is a tournament poker player from China who has recently emerged on the East Asian regional circuit. As of late 2025, he has established himself as a competitive presence in South Korea, specifically within the growing Gods of Poker (GOP) and Asian Poker Tour (APT) circuits.

Career Earnings & Ranking

As of December 2025, Yubo Sun is in the early stages of his live tournament career, having recorded his first significant international results this year:

Total Live Earnings: $1,306 (The Hendon Mob)
Best Live Cash: $1,306, achieved in December 2025.
China All-Time Money List: 9,670th
Global Poker Index (GPI) Ranking: 475,434th

2025 Season: Breakthrough in Jeju

The 2025 season has been the pivotal entry point for Sun into the professional Asian circuit. His focus has primarily been on the high-volume festivals hosted in Jeju, South Korea.

Gods of Poker (GOP) Eden Awakens, Jeju (December 2025): Recorded his career-best finish to date in the KRW 700,000 No Limit Hold’em – GOP Mini Main Event (Event #59). Navigating a field of 251 entries, he finished 16th for $1,306 (KRW 1,920,000).
Regional Circuit Participation: Sun has become a frequent entrant in the specialized series that define the current East Asian “meta,” including events that feature high field density and aggressive mid-stakes structures.

Playing Style & Technical Profile

Residing in China, Sun is part of a dedicated cohort of mainland players who travel to South Korea and Taiwan to compete in international hubs like the Landing Casino in Jeju.

His play style is characterized by:

Mini-Main Proficiency: Success in “Mini Main” formats indicates a solid grasp of multi-day tournament structures and the endurance required to reach the final two tables of 250+ entry fields.
Tactical Versatility: His result in a KRW 700,000 (~$500) buy-in event suggests he is effectively managing the transition from low-stakes entry points to mid-tier regional championships.
Early-Career Momentum: With his results appearing in late 2025, Sun is positioned as a “player to watch” for the 2026 season as he increases his volume in major tours like the Asian Poker Tour (APT).
