Just a few short years ago in 2013 mczhang was grinding the micro-stakes tournaments while studying for a degree at university. He graduated from the University of Birmingham with a BSc in Mathematic in 2017 and he now plays in the biggest cash games and tournaments online and live.
His game of choice in NLHE and he has been seen playing as high as $100/$200 NL at PokerStars playing against Linus "LLinusLLove" Loeliger, Jonas "OtB_RedBaron" Mols, Luke "Bit2Easy" Reeves, and Paul "topdoll287" Newey.
Zhang has close to $700k in recorded online tournament cashes with one of his biggest wins coming just last month (written Feb 2018) when he took down PokerStars $2.1k High Roller $150k GTD for over $56k. His biggest online score of $128k came from a 2016 WCOOP $215 $1m GTD event where he finished runner-up.
Zhang's biggest success, however, has come from the live tournament circuit. In February 2017 he won the £1k Main Event from leg 1 of the GUKPT for £113k ($142k), and in February 2018 he won the €50k Super High Roller at the partypoker MILLIONS Germany for €800,000 ($980k). His live tournament winnings as of February 2018 now total almost $1.6m. |
