Celina Lin continues Macau Poker Cup domination

The Macau Poker Cup tournament series is known for two things: First and foremost it’s the best looking trophy not only in poker, but perhaps in all of sports and gaming: And Secondly the tournament series is known for Celina Lin, who has absolutely owned the Macau Poker Cup since 2008, winning four tournaments including two Red Dragon (Main Events) in 2009 and 2012.

In addition to her two Macau Poker Cup Red Dragon victories, and four wins overall, since 2009, Lin a Team PokerStars Pro, has made 20 final tables in “Asia Player of the Year” tournaments, far and away the most of any player in that time frame.

Dom Choi, the Team PokerStars Manager for Asia, tried to put Lin’s accomplishments in perspective, telling the PokerStars blog, “Those 20 final tables are an impressive number and doesn’t even count the final tables she’s made before the APOY scoring system was introduced in 2009. It’s a credit to her consistency and hard work.”
