Cao is considered a cash game expert, but has also been participating in renowned live tournaments since 2008 . At least since 2014 he has played almost exclusively high roller events, i.e. H.

At the 2009 WSOP he placed in two tournaments of the variant No-Limit Hold'em in cash. At the beginning of May 2014, Cao finished 13th at the high roller event of the European Poker Tour in Monte-Carlo and received around 85,000 euros . In mid-May 2018, he reached two final tables at the Triton Super High Roller Series in Budva, Montenegro , which earned him prize money equivalent to almost 2.5 million US dollars . At the end of July 2018, he finished second in a Triton Series tournament in Jeju-do , which was played in a short deck ante-only , and secured the equivalent of more than $ 670,000. In May 2019, Cao won the Triton Series Main Event in Budva and received his highest cash prize to date of more than $ 3.3 million. At the same tournament in London in August 2019, he finished fifth and received the equivalent of just under a million dollars.
