Tong Li
New Zealand, New Zealand
Tong Li is third on New Zealand's all-time money list on the strength of a single enormous result: he won the $25,000 Pot Limit Omaha High Roller at the 2022 World Series of Poker for $1,467,739, which is more than three quarters of his recorded career earnings.
He is a specialist. Of his two dozen recorded cashes, the great majority are Pot Limit Omaha - $10,000 PLO Championships at the WSOP in 2023 and 2024, a $5,000 PLO event in 2025, the WSOP Europe 5K PLO in Rozvadov in 2023 where he made the final table, and Triton PLO events in Monte Carlo and Jeju. His second-biggest score is $184,000 for eleventh in the $100,000 Triton PLO Main Event in Monte Carlo in November 2024.
He travels for it - Las Vegas, the Bahamas, Rozvadov, Monaco, Jeju and, in June 2026, the Quads Poker Championship main event in Hanoi. He currently sits 1,726th on the global all-time money list.
