I always wanted to play poker more. After a short break, I returned to the game and received a lot of positive emotions.
In the heads-up of the tournament, Zhou defeated the famous philanthropist and one of the owners of PulteGroup), William Pulte. For him, this tournament was the first poker competition ever. The Enclave Celebrity Poker Invitational itself was broadcast live. And his recording can be found on the PokerGO YouTube channel.
