Danny Tang biography
Danny Tang grew up in Manchester, England, where he first discovered poker at university before relocating to Asia to pursue the region's rapidly growing high-stakes tournament and cash-game scene. Networking with prominent figures in the Macau poker world, including Winfred Yu, helped accelerate his rise, and he transitioned from low- and mid-stakes cash games into elite tournament poker starting around 2016.
He won his first WSOP bracelet in 2019 in the $50,000 High Roller for $1,608,406 and has since become one of the most consistent winners on the Triton Poker Series, capturing six titles, including a stretch of five wins within just nine months in 2023 that earned him the Ivan Leow Player of the Year award. His signature result came in 2026, when he stormed back from just seven big blinds to win the Triton Montenegro $100,000 Main Event for $3,565,000, the largest score of his career.
Now a Natural8 and QQPK brand ambassador, Tang sits atop Hong Kong's all-time live tournament money list and is widely regarded as a key connector between the European and Asian high-stakes poker communities.
