Yuequan Jia 🇨🇳

Originally from China, where he still resides, Jia has adopted the life of a high-stakes “nomad,” traveling to the most prestigious poker hubs in the Asia-Pacific region. He first began appearing on the international radar with significant cashes in 2023 and has since transitioned into a full-time professional regular. While he is a staple of the WPT and Asian Poker Tour (APT) circuits, he is equally comfortable grinding the competitive local series in Hanoi and Sihanoukville. His rise mirrors the evolution of the modern Chinese professional, focused, data-driven, and capable of performing under the immense pressure of televised final tables and major championships.

Jia is recognized for a resilient and highly calculated play style, excelling particularly in large-field No Limit Hold’em tournaments. His victory in the WPT Cambodia Survivor event showcased his ability to manage variance and apply strategic pressure during the “survival” phases of unique tournament structures. Strategy-wise, he is known to be an adaptable technician who balances fundamental GTO principles with sharp exploitative reads against diverse international fields. Whether he is navigating the aggressive dynamics of a multi-day Main Event or the fast-paced action of a High Roller turbo, Jia’s composure and tactical versatility make him one of the most formidable Chinese players currently on the circuit.

According to The Hendon Mob, Yuequan Jia has accumulated total live earnings of $407,414. His career-best score stands at $156,641, a massive result that underscores his ability to navigate elite fields. In early 2026, Jia solidified his reputation by capturing a title at WPT Cambodia in Phnom Penh. Competing in the $800 Survivor (Event #10), he outlasted a massive field of 319 entries to secure the champion’s trophy and a top prize of $28,500. Jia’s dominance in Southeast Asia is further evidenced by a deep run in the VPT Championship II in Phu Quoc, where he finished 42nd in the VND 26,000,000 Main Event for VND 121,600,000 ($4,623). Jia is also a consistent threat in Vietnam’s rising poker scene, recently cashing in the Grand Loyal Poker Championships (GLPC III) in Hanoi, taking home VND 18,200,000 ($692) in the Kick Off event. With multiple deep runs in high-buy-in events, he currently ranks 212th on the China All Time Money List, a position that reflects a substantial and growing poker net worth. Yuequan Jia
