Zheng and Hardcastle in the Ring
Weijie Zheng and Jack Hardcastle make for aggressive and tricksy neighbours on the feature table. Both equipped with towering stacks and the willingness to put them to use, an illustrative example happened when it folded round to them on the blinds.

10 Million Chips Next To Each Other
Two giant stacks are being wielded by neighbours Jiushuang Wang and Weijie "Jervi" Zheng, and there have been a few small skirmishes between them but major fireworks are possible in the near future. It was Gary Banks, however, who gave Wang his most recent little pot, having defended his big blind
