She also championed the Asian Global Poker Index rankings in 2013, and in 2016 joined the Global Poker League (GPL) as a member of Team San Francisco Rush.

In 2016, Kitty signed with the international online poker company, Natural8.com, as team leader for their team of pros known as "Team Hot". Her current accumulated winnings exceeds 1.2 million USD and she has achieved great results in the recent WPT, APPT, EPT, WSOP and other international events.

She has received strong influences and guidance from the best players in the world, determined to improve her game and share her knowledge in Asia in order to develop and improve the Texas Hold'em scene in the region.

Xuan Liu

Xuan Liu is a Canadian born Chinese and a University of Waterloo graduate. She is also a famous female poker pro in the international poker community. In 2011 she finished third in the EPT San Remo Main Event, whereas in 2012, she finished 4th in the PCA main event, making a pair of successful accomplishments in her resume, winning more than 1.6 million USD in lifetime tournament cashes. In the online poker realm, Xuan is no slouch either by amassing cashes of over $560,000 in online tournaments as well. 

In 2016, Xuan together with Kitty appeared on the poker themed reality tv show Girls Got Game, which follows eight dynamic female poker pros as they compete in both Macau and Las Vegas.  Soon after filming ended, Xuan joined Natural8 as a member of "Team Hot" and actively streams her poker games on Twitch.tv under XuanLiu when she is not travelling for live poker events. She is also a respected poker coach in Canada. We will definitely be seeing more of the sweet-smiling Xuan Liu in the Asian poker scene in the near future!

In 2015, he won the SCOOP $20,000 USD HU event, which is one of the most difficult and competitive online tournaments in the world. He also played a 15,000 hand HU challenge against fellow online poker pro Nick Frame (TCfromUB), successfully beating him for a hefty $103,992 along with the $15,000 side bet. His stellar performance in the challenge further solidified his position as a top pro in the online poker world. In 2015, Dong Kim along with Doug Polk, Bjorn Li and Jason Les - four of the top HU players in the world won a collective $732,713 worth of virtual money off Claudico, the Artificial Intelligence-infused poker bot created by Carnegie Mellon University.

Xiao Chung

The Chinese born poker pro Xiao Chung picked up the game in 2012 and before he knew it, he was crushing NL2000 ($10/$20) cash games online. While studying in the USA, he emerged as the winner out of 910 players in the series organised by The Venetian in Las Vegas. That's when Xiao Chung first felt his passion for the game come alive. At the same time, he was actively uploading high stakes poker commentary videos on Youku, gaining a fan following from poker enthusiasts. His final table commentary videos on Youku received an amazing response and high view rates as well. Moreover, Xiao Chung has also had success in MTTs, winning many Sunday tournaments online proving his high level of skill. Since then, he has been actively participating in Chinese and International poker events. At the end of 2015, he participated in the Beijing Poker Cup Main Event alongside 1,764 participants and took down the one million RMB grand prize, further expanding his circle of influence in poker.

After signing with Natural8, Xiao Chung will continue to be active in major live tournaments and actively promote the platform. He will continue to socialize with players by sharing poker tips and strategies to improve the overall standards of poker within the Chinese poker community.

Xiao Chung will represent Natural8 for the first time in the WPT National China event hosted in Sanya in late October. Look out for Xiao Chung who will be sporting the Natural8 team patch while participating in the tournament. The event boasts a 8.88 million yuan guaranteed prize pool, with the winner taking home 1.5 million yuan.
