Biography

Tony "Ren" Lin is a Chinese-born professional poker player currently residing in New York, United States.

Lin began his live poker tournament career grinding low-stakes events in Las Vegas in late 2015, and enjoyed plenty of success. A prolific players with more than 130 live cashes to his name, Lin's career has hit new heights since 2021.

After five cashes in the 2020 WSOP Online at GGPoker, Lin flew out to Las Vegas for the live WSOP. He cashed in 14 events, including the $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em, where he finished third for $186,803.

A little over a week later, Lin took down a $10,000 buy-in event that was part of the PokerGO Tour Aria High Roller Series, and netted $147,600. Lin's incredible run continued when he finished second to Mikita Badziakouski in the WSOP $50,000 High Roller for $903,610.

Now armed with an ample bankroll, Lin has become a regular in live events around the world. Five and six-figure scores appear to be the norm for Lin these days. He collected $619,200 after finishing as the runner-up to Ognyan Dimov in the $25,000 High Roller at the 2023 PCA, and added five six-figure hauls to his ever-growing earnings between the PCA and the 2023 WSOP.

WPT Global Poker Games

1. What is a flight tournament?

A flight tournament has multiple qualifiers (or Day 1s), and the top X% (usually 10-20%) of each flight advance to the final day. When a flight reaches that percentage, it ends automatically, and the remaining players move to the final day (chips are carried over). Flights may also end based on level, time, or remaining players. Some flights may not award prizes, while others do. After all flights end, the final day starts as scheduled. You must buy in for each flight; direct entry to the final day is not allowed. You can enter multiple flights in the same tournament, but only your largest chip stack carries over if you qualify more than once.

2. What is a satellite tournament?

A satellite tournament is a tournament where you can win entry to a major tournament for a small buy-in. The entry fee is usually 10-20% of the major tournament. Multiple entries may be awarded depending on the number of participants. Example: In an $11 ($10+$1) satellite, one ticket to a $110 ($100+$10) tournament is awarded for every 11 players. Some satellites award generic tickets that can be used for any tournament with the same buy-in, not just a specific tournament.

3. What is a guaranteed tournament?

A guaranteed tournament is a tournament where a certain prize pool is guaranteed regardless of the number of players. If there are more players, the prize pool increases, but it will not fall below the guaranteed minimum. Example: In a $55 ($50+$5) tournament with a $2,000 guarantee, even with 22 players, $2,000 is paid out. With 63 players, $3,150 (63×$50) is paid out.

4. How do I use tournament tickets in my backpack?

To use a ticket, select a tournament with the same value as your ticket from the 'Tournaments' tab in the lobby and register.

5. Which hands are eligible for the cash game jackpot?

Each jackpot table displays the prize for each qualifying hand. Players must use both hole cards and have a winning hand to qualify for the cumulative jackpot.

Fairness and Security

1. What is WPT Global's fairness algorithm?

Our fairness algorithm is designed to ensure that all players have an equal chance of winning and to enhance the player experience. By limiting the number of skilled players at each table, we provide new players with a fair chance of winning. You will never be seated with eight pros at the same table and will mainly play against others of similar skill. Even for pros, limiting the number of other pros provides a better experience. Whether you are a new, recreational, or professional player, you will find your preferred game in one of the largest cash game player pools.

2. How does WPT Global ensure safety and reliability?

Our team consists of over 50 industry experts and former professional poker players. We use AI detection tools to monitor for bots, RTAs, collusion, and multi-accounting 24/7/365. Every security case is reviewed independently by at least two team members to ensure accurate and objective conclusions.
