Xixiang Luo 🇨🇳

Luo Xixiang's poker career began over a decade ago, with his earliest winnings dating back to a tournament in Macau in July 2013. Initially known for his consistent performances on the Asian Tour (APPT and Red Dragon), he transformed into a global superstar in the 2024 and 2025 seasons. He achieved a rare feat: winning three WSOP gold bracelets in just 12 months, two of which were won in the innovative "Double Pot Bomb" format. Luo Xixiang's skill extends far beyond Texas Hold'em; he also excels in games like HORSE, Eight-in-One, and Hybrid Omaha. In April 2024, he broke records by winning the APT Jeju Main Event, describing the victory as achieving his 40-year life goal 30 years ahead of schedule. By 2026, he remains one of the most feared "final bosses" in any hybrid game or short-table tournament.

Known for his "adaptive, aggressive, and fearless" playing style, particularly in unconventional formats, Rupert is widely considered a pioneer of the bomb pot strategy, winning two WSOP bracelets thanks to his mastery of two-handed board technology. Many professional players have argued that two-handed boards are too volatile, a strategy they excel at. Strategically, Rupert values intuition about the game flow, famously stating, "I love new games. Much more fun than Texas Hold'em." His ability to maintain composure amidst chaotic hand structures was key to his triton high roller victories. His approach emphasizes understanding the technical range across all formats, making him one of the few players capable of seamlessly transitioning from high-stakes cash games to top-tier super high roller tournaments.

According to Hendon Mob, Luo Xixiang's total live tournament winnings have exceeded $5.715 million, and he is known for his high-stakes performance at the high-stakes tables. He won his second gold bracelet at the 2024 WSOP $25,000 buy-in HORSE High Roller event, setting a career-best single-event winnings record of $725,796. Luo Xixiang continues his strong performance into early 2026, recently finishing fifth in the APT Jeju Classic High Roller event for $37,550 and winning the K-Poker Cup Triple Draw Mix event. His consistent performance at the WSOP, Triton, and major Asian poker tournaments has led to an estimated poker net worth exceeding $7.5 million.
