PokerStars Team Asia Pro-files: Raymond Wu

PokerStars Team Asia Pro Raymond Wu
24-year-old Raymond Wu Shao Kang, better known as 'Raymond Wu,' is a relative newcomer to the live tournament scene. Making his live debut at last year's APPT Macau series, Wu finished 5th in a side event and became hooked. Soon after he began traveling the world, playing tournaments in Seoul, Manila and South America. His largest live score to date occurred last month at the Macau Poker Cup, where he finished 3rd in the HK$50,000 High Roller's event, earning just over $11,000 USD.

While Wu may still be getting his feet wet on the live tournament stage, he's been splashing around in some of the biggest games on the net for some time. A Supernova on PokerStars, Wu is a regular in the $25/$50 no limit game.

Born in Taipei, Wu maintains an interest in fashion, sports video games and boxing, while he's not on the felt. He also owns and operates an Asian-based poker coaching site while he's not out on the tournament trail.

Raymond is playing in today's Day 1a field and has about 22,000 in chips at the first break.
