Meng Ling Lin
Taiwan's Meng Ling Lin “Candy” has been having an incredible year on the felt,stacking up high roller titles and deep runs that have firmly placed her among Asia’s top women in poker. As she wraps up her 2025 season at the Gods of Poker festival, she took a moment to share her thoughts on the series and her experience in Jeju.
What made you decide to come to Jeju to play this series?
I am actually chasing my GPI points. Right now I'm the fourth place woman in the world. So I only need 100 points, less than 100 points to chase third. So that's why I came here to play to chase the points.
Based on her GPI points, Lin is also the top female player from Asia with the more well-known Kitty Kuo several spots below. This being her first time try out the Cronus structure, she shared her experience,
It's new for me, but I think it's good, I don't need to rebuy so many times. Some people like to rebuy and gamble so with this structure, I think it's good for players that want to play serious. But I also see this as a challenge for me because I play high rollers and players are aggressive. I'm also an aggressive player but I feel that some of the Philippine players here are more aggressive than me, so it is difficult to play with them.
