Rui Qin

Rui Qin first appeared on the live tournament radar in 2018 at the Poker King Cup Macau main event. With a buy-in of 16,500 HKD and 518 entrants, Qin reached Day 2 but was eliminated in 128th place by Shi Qiang Lin after his pocket fives were cracked by Lin's ace-queen.

In 2024, Qin cashed in the Red Dragon Championship at RDPT Jeju, finishing 128th out of 128 entrants for a prize of 4,880,000 South Korean Won (approximately $3,570). This remains his largest recorded cash to date.

Limited information is available about Qin's playing style. The 2018 hand suggests a willingness to shove all-in from early position with a medium pair, indicating an aggressive approach in short-stack situations. His only recorded cash shows a 100% in-the-money rate across one event, though sample size is very small.

• 2018 Poker King Cup Macau: Qin shoved for 91,000 with 5♥5♣ from early position and was called by Shi Qiang Lin with A♦Q♦. Lin hit an ace on the turn to eliminate Qin.

Qin's profile is often confused with another Chinese player named Yi Qin, who has significantly larger results. The two are separate individuals.
