Wang is suing an entertainment reporter and the Shanghai Newspaper Group.
He's demanding 4-million yuan in compensation after an article was published, describing him as a "gambling pioneer."
The story alleged Wang Feng was part of a poker tournament in Jiangsu which was later shut-down under China's anti-gambling laws.
Wang Feng is suing for libel, claiming he was only there to take part in the opening ceremony.
The event itself was billed as a charity poker tournament, but involved some 1.3-million US dollars in prizes.
