“I want to go down in the history books. I just want to be remembered.“

Hong Kong pro Danny Tang is a highly respected poker player with a wealth of experience and success in the poker industry and who has been consistently ranked as one of the best Asian players around. With over $29 million in lifetime earnings and multiple major tournament victories to his name, Danny is widely regarded as one of the top players in the game today.

“I think in general in the high stakes community, a lot of people have won a bunch of stuff, whereas I am relatively new to the community and it's the first No-Limit Hold'em bracelet for Hong Kong. It's a dream come true.“

The following year after his first WSOP bracelet win, he secured a breakout win at the PokerStars Championship Prague, winning €381,000 in the €10,300 High Roller. Since then, he has continued to excel in high roller events. In 2018, he finished fourth in the EPT Prague High Roller for €197,720.
