Hong Kong player Julian Diamond Cheung lives up to his name as a budding poker gem, with a total live earnings record of USD 52,920. Cheung kicked off his poker career in 2017 in Macau, participating in the MBP Spring Challenge and PokerStars Championship.
Cheung went on a poker hiatus, returning in 2023 to win big.
