Pemh Zhou

Pemh Zhou, often recorded as Peng Zhou in tournament databases, is a Chinese poker player who made his mark primarily on the Asian live tournament circuit. While his earliest results are not widely documented, he began appearing in events in South Korea and other Asian destinations around 2025, quickly establishing himself as a frequent money finisher.

Zhou's breakout performance came in July 2025 at the Red Dragon Poker Tour (RDPT) Jeju. In the Red Dragon Championship, he navigated a massive field to reach the final table, ultimately finishing 4th for a career-best payout of KRW 112,000,000 (approximately $81,768). This result represented a significant leap in his tournament earnings and put him on the map as a contender in high-stakes Asian events.

Just months after his Red Dragon score, Zhou took part in the record-breaking Asian Poker Tour (APT) Jeju 2025. Entering Day 4 as the overall chip leader with 48 players remaining, he continued his deep run, though exact finishing position and prize are not fully detailed in public records. His ability to consistently reach late stages of major tournaments highlighted his skill and adaptability.

Based on available data from The Hendon Mob and Asian poker tracking sites, Zhou has accumulated over $227,000 in live earnings (with other databases reporting totals near $348,690 including online and side events). He has cashed in 15 of 16 events attended, an impressive 94% in-the-money rate, underscoring his disciplined and profitable approach. His largest recorded win in Asia-Pacific is $81,600.

While detailed hand histories are scarce, Zhou's results suggest a balanced, patient style capable of handling large fields. His high ITM percentage indicates strong post-flop play and tournament endurance. As a relatively newer face on the Asian circuit, he represents the growing depth of Chinese poker talent and is expected to continue making noise in major Asian series like Triton and WSOP Paradise.
