Minh Quang’s Poker Career Highlights and Winnings

Quang’s first recorded live tournament cash came in 2022, when he finished 14th in the Grand Loyal Poker Cup, earning just $196. However, he quickly began making a name for himself. Later that year, he finished third in the APT Warm-Up Series Super High Roller, taking home $7,252. He then impressed again by finishing fourth in the 2022 WPT Prime Vietnam Main Event, cashing for an impressive $48,034.

His momentum continued in 2023, where he secured a third-place finish in the World Poker Championship SEAPT Hanoi Main Event, banking $60,929. That same year, he made a few additional cashes, including a $2,400 payday in the APT Hanoi Billions Main Event.

In 2024, Quang cashed in two notable events: he finished fifth in the VPL Hanoi Last Chance High Roller for $4,450, and also picked up $468 in the Vietnam International Poker Tour Hanoi Kick-Off Event.

Before his breakthrough victory in Taipei, Quang had already accumulated over $140,000 in live tournament earnings across 17 cashes. With his recent Super High Roller title, his total live earnings have now soared to over $500,000.

Nguyen Quang Minh’s journey from small cashes to winning one of the biggest high-stakes titles in Asia is a testament to his dedication and skill.
