During the last break, we spotted Chun Lei Zhou standing across the room, scoping out what would be his new table. Zhou, known online as "samrostan," is a high-stakes online cash game player, and he is down over $8 million in his career.
“My favorite game? I like all games — Omaha, 8-game, mixed games. I don’t want to play no-limit hold’em,” Zhou told our own Chad Holloway at the EPT Grand Final.
If Zhou is able to find an opponent, he’ll play any game for as long as they like.
“I never sleep, it’s sick,” says Zhou, who claims to have played for 40 hours straight one time.
Zhou was seen chumming it up with Phil Ivey before the cards went back in the air - Ivey flashed one of the bigger grins we've seen all summer.
All the way across the room is Russian Ivan "vandir4rek" Soshnikov. Soshnikov took down the 2014 SCOOP Main Event a few weeks ago, earning just over $1 million.
