Weiran Pu is a Chinese professional poker player and social media influencer who has ascended to the upper echelons of the global poker circuit. He is best known for capturing a World Series of Poker (WSOP) gold bracelet and becoming a dominant force in the high-stakes Triton Poker Series.
Career Earnings & Biggest Results
According to The Hendon Mob, Weiran Pu has accumulated $3,534,551 in total live earnings. His career-defining moment came during the 2023 WSOP , where he emerged victorious in Event #65: $5,000 6-Handed No-Limit Hold’em to win $938,244. This victory marked China’s fifth bracelet of that summer and solidified Pu’s status as an elite international competitor.
In addition to his WSOP success, Pu has become a regular fixture in the Triton Poker Super High Roller Series . His notable results in the series include a 3rd-place finish in the $40k NLH Mystery Bounty at Triton Monte Carlo 2024 for $325,000 (plus $240,000 in bounties) and a 5th-place finish at Triton Jeju 2025 for $309,000. Earlier in his career, he claimed a major title by winning the 2018 Poker King Cup Macau Main Event for HKD 1,464,000 (∼$187,239).
Biography & Poker Background
Originally from Chongqing, China, Pu has been playing poker for over 13 years. Before his breakout on the Western circuit, he built a massive following as a poker vlogger and social media influencer in China, documenting his journey through hundreds of vlogs. While he was already a respected player in the Macau “Big Game” and regional Asian tours like the Poker King Cup, his transition to global festivals in 2023 proved to be a turning point. Despite a slow start at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA) and various European Poker Tour (EPT) events, his resilience culminated in his massive bracelet win in Las Vegas.
Play Style & Strategy
Pu is recognized for his exceptional technical proficiency and mental fortitude, qualities he deems essential for navigating high-variance tournament fields. He describes the competition in events like the WSOP $25,000 High Roller as the toughest in the world, yet he has consistently demonstrated an ability to hold his own against the world’s best GTO-oriented players. His strategy blends a deep understanding of modern poker theory with an exploitative edge honed from years of playing in the unique environment of Macau’s high-stakes games. Whether under the pressure of a WSOP final table or competing in a Triton Mystery Bounty event, Pu’s patient and calculated approach makes him a formidable threat in any 6-max or full-ring field.
