Zhou Quan 🇨🇳

Quan Zhou, from China, has risen from a regional player to a global high-stakes star. He first gained international attention in 2017 when he narrowly missed the bubble in the WSOP Main Event, but quickly rebounded, becoming a regular in events with buy-ins of $25,000 and above. He has been particularly successful in Jeju Island, South Korea, a "home ground" for many Asian high-stakes players. In addition to his success in the Triton events in Jeju, he has consistently won money in regional circuits such as the Red Dragon Poker Tour (RDPT) and WPT Prime. His dual titles in Europe (WSOPC Cyprus) and Las Vegas (Wynn Summer Classic champion) demonstrate his versatility across all tournament formats.

Zhou Quan is known for his highly aggressive and unpredictable playing style. Often described as a "whirlwind" at the poker table, he fearlessly makes large bluffs under pressure—his numerous all-in bets against strong hands with air are widely known online. While many high-stakes players tend towards a Game Theory Optimal (GTO) approach, Zhou Quan employs a fearless and highly exploitative strategy. He is also a world-class Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO) player, having won multiple gold bracelets and reached the high-stakes final table multiple times in four-card PLO tournaments, proving his skill extends far beyond Texas Hold'em.

According to Hendon Mob, Zhou Quan currently boasts over $14.4 million in live poker winnings, ranking fourth on the all-time Chinese poker money list. He is a regular at some of the world's most expensive tournaments, frequently participating in the 2025 Jeju Triton Super High Roller event and the World Series of Poker (WSOP). His career-high live winnings are $1.193 million, earned in February 2024 at the Jeju Triton Super High Roller, where he finished as runner-up in the $25,000 buy-in 8-max No-Limit Hold'em event. A few weeks later, in the same event, he won his first Triton title, taking home $530,000 in the $25,000 buy-in Pot-Limit Omaha event. Zhou Quan continues his dominance in 2025, racking up multiple six-figure prizes. Highlights include a third-place finish in the WSOP $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship, winning $650,567, and a win in the WSOP Cyprus Tour Super Mystery Bounty, taking home $225,000.
