Zehao Li is a Chinese professional poker player who has distinguished himself as a “Mixed Game Specialist” in the Asian poker circuit, a rarity in a market dominated by No Limit Hold’em grinders.

Career Earnings & Biggest Results

With over $316,000 in total live earnings (according to The Hendon Mob), Zehao Li currently ranks 401st on the China All Time Money List. His career-best live cash of $116,019 stands as a testament to his ability to compete at high levels, but his recent success has been defined by volume and versatility in non-Hold’em formats.

The 2025 season in Jeju, South Korea, was a breakout period for Li. During the Red Dragon Poker Tour (RDPT) Jeju, he claimed a trophy in Event #9: No Limit 2-7 Single Draw, demonstrating his technical proficiency in lowball games. He continued this hot streak at the Asian Poker Tour (APT) Jeju 2025, where he was described by reporters as a “double title winner” of the festival, securing runner-up finishes in the Dealer’s Choice Masters and multiple deep runs in 8-Game and Triple Draw mix events.

Biography & Poker Background

Representing China, Zehao Li has carved out a unique niche in the East Asian poker ecosystem. While most of his peers focus exclusively on No Limit Hold’em, Li has established himself as a “proven mixed game contender”.

His consistent presence in Jeju – the current hub of Asian poker – shows a player who targets festivals with robust schedules of “side events.” Unlike “Main Event hunters,” Li maximizes his ROI by dominating the smaller, softer fields of complex mixed games, often reaching multiple final tables in a single series.

Play Style & Strategy

Zehao Li’s results paint the picture of a highly technical and versatile player. His success in Big O (5 Card PLO Hi/Lo), 2-7 Single Draw, and 8-Game Mix requires a deep understanding of varied mechanics and betting structures that goes far beyond standard pre-flop charts.

His strategy likely revolves around exploiting the lack of experience many Asian players have in mixed variants. By targeting these “niche” tournaments, he faces smaller fields with significant skill gaps, allowing for a lower-variance accumulation of titles and cashes compared to the massive lottery-style fields of NLH tournaments.
