Erdun Xu 🇨🇳

Originally from China, Xu has established Jeju, South Korea, as his primary hunting ground, benefiting from the island’s status as a major international poker hub. He is a frequent traveler on the Asian Poker Tour (APT), World Poker Tour (WPT) Prime, and the Red Dragon Poker Tour (RDPT). His trajectory over the last two years shows a transition from a regional grinder to a high-stakes regular capable of outlasting hundreds of elite players. His presence in major series like the Tencent Poker Tour and MPT Macau highlights his deep roots in the Chinese-speaking poker community.

Xu is recognized for a disciplined and resilient tournament strategy, a style that has led to his numerous deep runs in massive fields like the APT Main Event and WPT Prime Korea. He demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of stack management, often excelling in the late stages of “High Roller” events where blind levels are steep and ICM pressure is at its peak. His ability to secure a victory in the Korea Poker Cup High Roller against a field of seasoned professionals underscores his technical proficiency in short-handed play and his calm demeanor at high-pressure final tables.

According to The Hendon Mob, his total earnings stand at $265,317. Xu experienced a massive breakout in 2025, recording his career-best results in high-roller and championship events. His biggest single score came in June 2025 at the K Poker Cup Series in Jeju, where he won the KRW 4,000,000 No Limit Hold’em – High Roller for a whopping KRW 140,000,000 (∼$102,322). Xu has consistently performed at the final tables of the most prestigious tours in Asia. During the APT Jeju 2024, he reached the final table of the KRW 2,500,000 APT Main Event, finishing 9th for KRW 31,970,000 (∼$23,223). His hot streak continued through 2025, including a runner-up finish in the KRW 2,000,000 Red Dragon Mini Main Event for KRW 52,620,000 (∼$38,050) and a 3rd-place finish in the KRW 1,000,000 Korea Poker Cup Mega Stack-Closer.
