Zhang Congya 🇨🇳

Ms. Zhang, originally from China and currently residing in Shanghai, has transitioned into a regular on the global poker circuit. She maintains a strong presence not only in Asian tournaments such as the Asian Poker Tour (APT) and the Poker Dream, but also in Western markets. Her journey in 2025 was particularly busy, with several notable achievements at the World Series of Poker (WSOP) in Las Vegas, including a 52nd place finish in the $2,500 buy-in knockout event for $9,490, and a 6th place finish in the Wynn Summer Classic Women's High Roller event for $11,483.

Zhang is known for her rigorous yet flexible tournament strategy, which allows her to navigate both large teams and elite small-stakes high-stakes tournaments. Her success in mixed formats, such as winning eight All-Around titles at the Jeju APT Championship, demonstrates her comprehensive skills beyond standard No-Limit Hold'em. She frequently displays a keen understanding of ICM (Independent Chip Model) in deep-stack environments, a trait that has enabled her to consistently perform well in major tournaments in Cyprus, South Korea, and the United States.

According to Hendon Mob, Congya Zhang's total live poker winnings amount to $273,443. Her career highlight was her 13th place finish in the $5,300 No-Limit Hold'em Main Event at the Mediterranean Poker Party (MPP) in Cyprus in May 2025, earning $42,000. In September of the same year, she also demonstrated her skill at the Triton Poker Series in Jeju Island, finishing 36th in the $8,000 Triton One Main Event for $27,900. Early 2025 also saw success on the Poker Dream Circuit, finishing 6th in the 7,000,000 KRW High Roller event at Poker Dream 16 Jeju Island for 33,141,315 KRW (approximately $24,816).
