Quan Zhou

Quan Zhou is a high-stakes Chinese professional poker player known for his fearless, aggressive play style and major titles in both No Limit Hold’em and Pot Limit Omaha events. With over $14.4 million in total live earnings (according to The Hendon Mob), he currently ranks 4th on the China All Time Money List.

Zhou first gained international attention in 2017 when he famously bubbled the WSOP Main Event. Despite that disappointment, he quickly rebounded to become a regular in $25k+ buy-in fields. He has evolved from a regional grinder to a global high roller star, particularly successful in Jeju, South Korea, which serves as a home turf for many Asian high rollers.

Zhou's career-best live score of $1,193,000 came in February 2024 at Triton Jeju, where he finished as the runner-up in the $25,000 No Limit Hold’em 8-Handed event. Just weeks later at the same festival, he captured his first Triton title, winning the $25,000 Pot Limit Omaha event for $530,000.

He continued his dominance into 2025 with multiple six-figure scores. Highlights include a 3rd place finish in the WSOP $10,000 Pot Limit Omaha Championship for $650,567 and a victory at the WSOP Circuit Cyprus in the Mega Mystery Bounty for $225,000.

At Triton Jeju 2026, Zhou won the $25,000 event for a seven-figure prize, leading a Chinese sweep alongside Mingcong Chen. He also has consistent cashes in regional tours like the Red Dragon Poker Tour (RDPT) and WPT Prime.

Quan Zhou is renowned for his hyper-aggressive and unpredictable style. Often described as a “whirlwind” at the table, he is not afraid to make massive bluffs in high-pressure spots. While many high rollers lean towards GTO play, Zhou incorporates a fearless, exploitative approach. He is also a world-class Pot Limit Omaha player, with multiple high roller final tables in the four-card variant, proving his proficiency extends beyond Hold’em.

Zhou is a fixture in the world’s most expensive tournaments, regularly competing in the Triton Super High Roller Series, WSOP, and other major events. His ability to win in both Europe (WSOPC Cyprus) and Las Vegas (Wynn Summer Classic winner) demonstrates a versatile skill set adaptable to any field. As one of China's top poker ambassadors, he continues to inspire a new generation of players from the region.
