Jereld Sam’s Journey to Success
Sam, 30, began playing poker at 20 during a home game. His competitive drive pushed him to study the game, and he has since achieved multiple tournament victories.
In 2023, Sam won the Poker Dream Waiwain Mystery Bounty, Asia Poker Tour Hanoi Billions Mystery Bounty, and HKPPA Premier League Main Event, with his WPT Prime victory marking a career milestone.
Family Support Makes It Worthwhile
Winning the WPT Prime Championship was particularly meaningful for Sam, as his previously skeptical mother watched his victory.
“Her big smile when I brought the trophy home made it all worth it,” Sam said.
