PokerStars Team Asia Pro-files: Jonathan Lin

Jonathan Lin
Jonathan Lin
A regular in the PokerStars Macau Poker Room since its inception in 2008, Jonathan Lin has fast made a name for himself in the Asian poker world. The 29-year-old pro resides in Taipei, R.O.C. and travels to tournaments all over the Asia-Pacific region.

Ironically enough, Lin learned to play Texas Hold'em in Texas, while studying abroad in the United States. He began playing micro stakes with friends in various home games and gradually evolved into a serious player.

His best result to date was a 2nd place finish at the 2008 Macau Poker Cup where he netted a USD $12,604 payday. Lin was also featured as both a player and tournament director on the celebrity poker TV show "Let's All In" in Taipei.

While he's not out smashing live cash games in and around Macau, Lin spends his free time reading, playing basketball and traveling the world with his friends.
