DraftKings Business Data Analyst Teng Zheng Gets His First Taste Of WSOP Action
Teng Zheng
Age: 24
DraftKings Position: Business Data Analyst
Born in China, Teng Zheng came to the United States when he was just four years old. He grew up in Philadelphia – he’s a huge Sixers fan – and would go on to attend Harvard University.
“I was first exposed to poker at a college retreat trip,” said Zheng, who enjoys watching/playing basketball and going out in New York City. “I remember having top pair, getting it all in on the flop versus aces and sucking out. Shortly after that I read some online resources/books and started grinding a bit online at micro-stakes.”
He continued: “I started playing a lot of home games my senior year of college, and my first casino experience was two years ago at Mohegan Sun. I remember being super nervous, but ended up positive that night. I’m primarily a $1/$2 and $2/$5 cash game player and haven’t played a WSOP event before so I’m really excited.”
As for who among the six-strong team he thinks would win a last longer, two players jump to mind.
“I think Steve Rose will last the longest because he plays very disciplined and usually doesn’t get out of line. That being said, Asad has been running hot online lately so hopefully his luck continues!”
