Alan Zheng is an Australian professional poker player who has successfully transitioned from the local Sydney circuit to the global High Roller stage, logging six-figure scores in both the United States and Asia.
Career Earnings & Biggest Results
With over $675,000 in total live earnings (according to The Hendon Mob), Alan Zheng is climbing the ranks of the Australia All Time Money List.
His standout year came in 2025, marked by a career-best performance at the Triton Super High Roller Series II Jeju , South Korea. Zheng finished 26th in the $100,000 Main Event (Event #9), cashing for $200,000 – his largest single score to date.
He maintained this momentum later in the year at the Jeju Poker Festival (November 2025), where he finished 3rd in the KPC Single Day Super High Roller for $110,000, demonstrating his consistency in elite fields.
Prior to his Asian breakout, Zheng found success in Las Vegas, notably finishing 6th in the 2023 Wynn Summer Classic for $175,392 and making a deep run (71st) in the historic WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas.
Biography & Poker Background
Originally from Sydney, Australia, and a former accountant by trade, Zheng began his career grinding the local circuit. He first made headlines in 2022 during the WPT Australia series, where he emerged as a chip leader in the Mystery Bounty event and secured multiple cashes at The Star Gold Coast.
Over the last few years, Zheng has shifted his focus to the international stage, competing in high-stakes festivals like Triton Poker and the Asian Poker Tour (APT) . His transition from mid-stakes Australian tournaments to $100,000 buy-in events highlights his rapid ascent in the professional poker world.
Play Style & Strategy
Zheng’s background as an accountant likely contributes to a highly mathematical and disciplined approach to the game. His results in Mystery Bounty formats and High Rollers suggest he is comfortable with complex ICM (Independent Chip Model) spots and aggressive stack dynamics.
His ability to navigate elite fields – cashing in the Triton Main Event against the world’s best – proves he can compete at the highest technical level, while his consistent final table appearances in “Single Day” high rollers indicate a strong proficiency in turbo structures and short-stack play.
