Weihong Liu 🇨🇳

Originally from China, Weihong Liu has focused her professional volume on the high-buy-in circuits of South Korea and regional Asian festivals. She established herself as a elite “Jeju regular” in early 2026, consistently outperforming experienced fields in both open and high-roller events. Liu is part of a growing wave of successful Chinese female players who are transitioning from local games to becoming major forces in the international high-stakes market.

Liu is recognized for a fearless and highly adaptive play style, particularly excelling in fast-paced tournament structures. Her strategy emphasizes high-frequency aggression during the late stages of “Turbo” and “Hyper Turbo” formats, where she has proven her ability to navigate short-handed play with elite precision. During the 2026 APT Jeju Classic, she demonstrated remarkable consistency by winning two different high-roller formats within the same week, showcasing a technical edge that prioritizes chip accumulation over survival. This aggressive approach makes her one of the most dangerous tactical players currently active in the Asian high-roller scene.

With total live earnings surpassing $82,000, Weihong Liu has experienced a massive breakout in early 2026. Her success is largely defined by a historic run at the Asian Poker Tour (APT) Jeju Classic, where she secured multiple high-roller titles in a single festival. Other notable results include: $20,413 (₩27,192,000) for winning the Hyper Turbo High Roller at APT Jeju Classic 2026. $19,907 (₩26,518,000) for winning the Turbo High Roller at APT Jeju Classic 2026. $19,031 (₩25,350,000) for a 9th-place finish in the High Roller Ultra Stack at APT Jeju. $8,122 (₩10,820,000) for a 24th-place finish in the APT Mini Main Event.
