Qinxue Jiang: KPC High Roller and APT Jeju Champion
POKER HALL OF FAME
Inducted 2014
Qinxue Jiang is a Chinese poker player from Shanghai whose 2026 season included titles at the Asian Poker Tour and the Jeju Poker Festival. His biggest documented result came at LES A Casino in October, when he won the two-day KPC High Roller for KRW 85,240,000.
⠀
Early Tournament Results
Jiang’s recorded tournament results include events in South Korea and the United Kingdom. The Global Poker Index lists early cashes at the British Poker Series in London and several results at LES A Casino in Jeju.
At the APT Jeju Classic in February 2026, Jiang finished fifth in a KRW 1,000,000 single re-entry event with 215 entries. He also cashed in the 1,718-entry APT Main Event during the same festival.
Those results established a foundation for a stronger run later in the year.
⠀
Maiden APT Title in Jeju
Jiang won his first Asian Poker Tour title at APT Jeju in September 2026. He topped a 46-entry Hyper Turbo High Roller and earned KRW 21,175,600.
The victory was Jiang’s largest recorded tournament score at the time. It also marked his first major live title and showed that he could close a high-stakes event after earlier final-table appearances.

KPC High Roller Victory
Jiang returned to LES A Casino for the Jeju Poker Festival in October 2026. The KRW 5,000,000 KPC High Roller drew 50 unique players and 17 re-entries, creating a 67-entry field and a KRW 289,440,000 prize pool.
Jiang reached the final table and took 7.4 million chips into heads-up play against Xu Wang’s 2.65 million. On the final hand, Jiang’s king-queen paired a king on the river against Wang’s ace-ten.
The win paid KRW 85,240,000 and gave Jiang his first High Roller title. Wang finished second for KRW 54,200,000.
The Red Dragon Poker Tour recap reported that Jiang began playing poker during the pandemic while studying in the United Kingdom. He moved from cash games into tournaments and credited mentor Xiao Zhang with helping his development.

Current Poker Career
Jiang’s 2026 results show rapid progress from early Jeju cashes to titles in two different festival settings. His September APT victory was followed by a larger KPC High Roller win one month later.
Tournament prizes are gross awards and do not establish net profit or personal wealth. Recorded earnings also change as new results are added to public databases.
Jiang remains associated with the growing high-stakes tournament schedule in Jeju, where both of his 2026 titles were recorded.
