Triton Poker Champions: Every Multiple Title Winner

Twelve Triton titles belong to Jason Koon. No other player in the tour’s ten-year history has passed seven. Fifty-seven Triton Poker champions have won more than once.

Those 57 come from ten years and two circuits, set out in full in our complete guide to Triton Poker. Across its history the Super High Roller Series has run from $15,000 up to $250,000, with the Triton Million above both. Triton ONE joined in September 2025, from $2,000 to $20,000.

Triton publishes its own multiple champions list, but it covers the Super High Roller Series alone. The table further down counts Triton ONE titles alongside them, so a player’s haul reads in a single row.

The tour is young next to the World Series, where Main Event champions have been crowned since 1970. Triton has needed ten years to build its own list.

Triton Poker Champions by Titles Won

Koon aside, every player who has reached six or seven titles got there during 2026. Four of those six reached the mark at one festival, Montenegro in May 2026.

Eleven players hold five titles or more, and nine won their most recent inside the last eighteen months. The top of this list has moved further in that span than in the seven years before it.

All 57 are ranked below. Those with a page of their own are linked from our directory of poker player profiles.

Reading the table: † marks titles won on Triton ONE rather than the Super High Roller Series. Artur Martirosian is the only player to have won on both circuits. * marks Aaron Zang, whom Triton’s own list omits despite crediting him with two titles in its reports.

The Leading Champions

The players below are ranked by titles won, from Koon’s twelve down to the thirty-one who have won twice. Each entry covers what the count alone does not show.

Jason Koon

Twelve titles between 2018 and 2025, five clear of anyone else and the only player in double figures. Koon has won in every format Triton spreads and at seven different venues, taking two Main Events in 2023 alone.

His 2023 was the single most productive year any player has had on the tour, with six titles across four festivals. He closed Montenegro 2025 with his eleventh and twelfth at the same festival.

We covered the night he reached a record 12th, and there is a full career breakdown on the Jason Koon player profile.

Matthias Eibinger

Seven titles, split about evenly between hold’em and Pot-Limit Omaha. The Austrian won back-to-back Cyprus turbos in 2022, then the Monte Carlo Main Event in 2023.

Three of his seven have come since late 2025, including a $700,000 bounty haul in the Montenegro Mystery Bounty that took him to seven.

Mike Watson

Seven titles in under four years, quicker than anyone else has reached that mark. The Canadian took two of them four days apart at the 2026 Montenegro festival, the $30,000 Turbo from 84 entries and the $50,000 Bounty Quattro from 32.

His fifth came at the autumn Jeju stop a year earlier, closing the hold’em phase of that festival with a straight flush on the river.

Dan Dvoress

Six titles, and the holder of the record no player had managed in the tour’s first decade: three wins at a single festival. He took the opening event, the PLO Main Event and the closing turbo at Montenegro in May 2026.

That run also completed a set across all three Triton formats, having previously won in Short Deck at Jeju and in PLO at Monte Carlo.

  • Event 1 - $25,000 NLH Golden Decade, 146 entries, $3,650,000 prize pool
  • Event 15 - $100,000 PLO Main Event, 76 entries, $7,600,000 prize pool
  • Event 18 - $25,000 PLO Turbo Bounty Quattro, 46 entries, $1,150,000 prize pool

He was the fourth player to reach six, level with Punsri and Tang. Only Eibinger and Watson have gone further, and both got there at the festival Dvoress swept.

Punnat Punsri

Punsri has six, and by Triton’s own count a final-table appearance at every festival he has played since 2022. The Thai player won the Cyprus Main Event that year as his first.

His first three came in No-Limit Hold’em before he took a $25,000 PLO event in Montenegro in 2025. We covered the win that took him to six the following March.

Danny Tang

Five of Tang’s six landed inside 2023. They came at Vietnam, North Cyprus twice, London and Monte Carlo, a haul beaten in a single year only by Koon.

The Hong Kong player won the Season 3 Player of the Year on the back of that run, then waited three years for a sixth, the $100,000 Montenegro Main Event in 2026.

Champions on Two to Five Titles

The Five-Time Champions

Five players sit on five. Bryn Kenney built the bulk of his career earnings on Triton, including the London Invitational in 2023 and the Monte Carlo Main Event in 2024.

Mikita Badziakouski won the Montenegro and Jeju Main Events in the same year, 2018, for $2,499,185 and then $5,257,027. Fedor Holz won Triton’s very first tournament in 2016 and his fifth ten years later.

Phil Ivey took four of his five in Short Deck, the exception being a $60,000 hold’em turbo in London in 2023.

Artur Martirosian reaches five by a route nobody else has taken. Four came on the Super High Roller Series and the fifth on Triton ONE, a $3,000 PLO event at Jeju in March 2026, days before the main festival began at the same venue.

He is the only player with titles on both circuits, and Triton’s own leaderboard does not record it. He also took the Season 4 Player of the Year, without finishing outside the top four at any of the three main stops.

The Four-Time Champions

Six players hold four. Alex Foxen took the Paradise Main Event in 2024 and has won a title in each of the last three years, while Jesse Lonis took three of his four inside ten months.

Tollerene and Wai Kin Yong each have two Main Events among their four, Yong’s spanning 2016 to 2019. Nacho Barbero and Mario Mosböck complete the group.

The Three-Time Champions

Nine players hold three, and two of them did it with the largest prizes on this part of the list. Kayhan Mokri won $7,725,000 at the Paradise Invitational in 2025, the largest single prize of anyone below the top tier, and Adrian Mateos took the Montenegro Invitational a year later.

Christoph Vogelsang won the autumn Jeju Main Event for $4,099,975, and Stephen Chidwick took a $200,000 Short Deck event added to that same schedule at short notice.

Five of the nine are Malaysian or Chinese, a reflection of where the tour built its earliest fields. The table below carries both tiers with the largest win each has recorded, in the currency Triton reported it.

The Two-Time Champions

Thirty-one players have won exactly twice, more than half of everyone who has won at all. Patrik Antonius, Tom Dwan, Justin Bonomo and Dan Smith are among them, which is a measure of how hard a second Triton title is to find.

Three of the 31 matter for reasons unrelated to the count. Paul Phua co-founded the tour and won the 10th Anniversary Special at Jeju in March 2026 for $3,226,000, a decade after helping start it.

Ngo Khoa Anh is the only double champion on Triton ONE, so both his titles come from the circuit Triton’s own list ignores. Aaron Zang is absent from that list altogether, despite Triton crediting him with the 2019 Triton Million and the 2023 Vietnam Short Deck Main Event.

Main Event Champions

Triton has run more than one Main Event at most festivals since 2019. The second title went to Short Deck through the 2022 to 2024 stops, then to Pot-Limit Omaha, which has partnered the hold’em Main Event at every festival since Montenegro in 2025.

Nobody has won three. Eight players have won two, and four of them did it in different games.

Matthias EibingerMonte Carlo 2023, NLHJeju 2026, PLO
Ben TollereneMontenegro 2025, PLOJeju 2026, NLH

The same-year double: Badziakouski won the Montenegro and Jeju Main Events inside 2018, taking $2,499,185 and then $5,257,027. Koon matched the feat in 2023, winning at North Cyprus and London in the same year.

Koon and Tang each took a hold’em and a Short Deck Main Event. Eibinger paired hold’em with PLO, and Tollerene won the PLO title at Montenegro before the hold’em title at Jeju.

Kenney and Adams stayed in No-Limit Hold’em for both, Kenney across five years and Adams across four. Badziakouski did the same inside a single year.

Four players have won a PLO Main Event since the format was added: Tollerene, Eibinger, Dvoress and Isaac Haxton.

The Triton Million

Triton has run its million-dollar invitational twice, and both editions ended with the largest prizes poker has ever paid. The format pairs invited recreational players with professionals they choose themselves.

The 2019 edition in London carried a £1,050,000 buy-in, the highest in the game’s history. Fifty-four players entered, building a £54,000,000 prize pool, with £50,000 of every entry going to charity. That came to £2,700,000 raised.

First place was scheduled to pay £19,000,000. With two players left the money was cut differently: Kenney held four times Zang’s chips and took £16,890,509 against Zang’s £13,779,491, leaving £1,100,000 still on the table.

Zang won the two flips that mattered and took the trophy anyway. He became the first Chinese player to win on the Triton Series, and the tournament remains the tour’s defining broadcast.

The deal, and why the table reads oddly: the asterisks mark the heads-up agreement. Kenney’s runner-up payment is still the largest single prize ever awarded in a poker tournament, and it sent him to the top of the all-time money list.

The second edition ran at WSOP Paradise in the Bahamas in December 2024, at a $500,000 buy-in. Ninety-six entries, 22 of them re-entries, produced a $48,000,000 prize pool.

Argentina’s Alejandro Lococo won it for $12,070,000, beating Ben Heath heads-up. It was the first Triton event to also award a WSOP bracelet, and our report on Lococo taking the 2024 edition covers the final table.

Biggest Triton Payouts

Ten payouts, ranked by the sum the player actually collected rather than by finishing position. Two of the top three went to players who did not win the tournament.

Table basis: figures are US dollars as reported by Triton. The 2019 London event is sterling-canonical and * marks a heads-up deal. Dan Smith’s £7,200,000 and Stephen Chidwick’s £4,410,000 from that same event are published by Triton in sterling only, and both would place inside this table.

The named Invitational events account for five of the ten. It is the format most likely to produce an outlier, because recreational entrants raise the field size without raising the standard.

Buy-ins differ by festival, so no single figure describes it. Montenegro runs the cheaper of the two, which is where Adrian Mateos hit his career best, while Paradise ran a $250,000 version.

Kenney appears twice, four years apart. His London runner-up prize took him to the head of poker’s all-time earnings at the time, and he later became the first player past seventy million.

Ivan Leow Player of the Year

Triton’s season-long award carries a $200,000 prize and a trophy hand-made by the London silversmiths Fox Silver. Points combine finishing position with a multiplier for buy-in and field size.

The table opens at Season 2 because the award did not exist in Season 1. Jason Koon was the first winner.

Seng Yee “Ivan” Leow co-founded Triton alongside Paul Phua and Richard Yong, and won twice on the tour himself.

SeasonWinnerCountryNotes
Season 2Jason KoonUSAInaugural winner
Season 3Danny TangHong Kong3,700 points, 19 cashes
Season 4Artur MartirosianRussiaFirst winner counting Triton ONE

Who the award is named for: Ivan Leow died during the Cyprus festival on 17 September 2022, aged 39. Triton cancelled the remaining events and renamed the race for him.

Danny Tang took Season 3 with 3,700 points from 19 cashes and 13 final tables, more than 350 clear of Koon in second. Two of those cashes were titles, his fourth and fifth on the tour.

Artur Martirosian won Season 4. His campaign ran through Monte Carlo, Jeju and Montenegro without a finish outside the top four at any of those three stops.

The race no longer runs on the Super High Roller Series alone. Triton ONE events now carry points, which widens the field of contenders well beyond the six-figure buy-in regulars.

Season 5 is under way, and the standings sit with every winner and payout from the 2026 season, updated as each event finishes.

Firsts and Milestones

Triton passed $1,000,000,000 in total prize money awarded by the end of 2024, in its ninth year. The tour now runs two circuits and reaches players at buy-ins that would once have been far below its floor.

The list below covers the firsts Triton has recorded on its own pages. Several arrived inside a single 12-month stretch, as Triton ONE opened the tour to a wider field.

  • First Triton champion - Fedor Holz, Manila 2016, the opening tournament of the tour
  • First Chinese champion - Aaron Zang, Triton Million, London 2019
  • First Japanese champion - Yoko Sasaki, Triton ONE, Jeju, September 2025
  • First Japanese SHRS champion - Jun Obara, Jeju, September 2025
  • First Triton ONE trophy - Doyle Kwan Fu Lee, Jeju, September 2025
  • First European Triton ONE champion - Johan Schultz-Pedersen, Jeju, September 2025
  • First Taiwanese Triton ONE champion - Chen Sin-Lan, Jeju, March 2026
  • First double Triton ONE champion - Ngo Khoa Anh, Jeju, March 2026
  • First champion on both circuits - Artur Martirosian, Jeju, March 2026
  • First three titles at one festival - Dan Dvoress, Montenegro, May 2026

Two of those entries belong to the same fortnight in Jeju in September 2025. Sasaki won a Triton ONE event days before Obara took the Mystery Bounty in Jeju, so Japan’s first two Triton champions arrived inside a week.

Xuan Liu won the WPT Global Slam at Montenegro in May 2025, the first woman to take a title on the Super High Roller Series. It was the 201st event Triton had staged, from a 155-entry field.

Kristen Foxen set the women’s record in March 2026. Her fourth place in the Jeju Main Event paid $1,449,000, the largest sum a woman has collected at a Triton event.

Ngo Khoa Anh doubled up on Triton ONE in March 2026, arriving at the final table with six big blinds and beating a 347-entry field for $612,000. His first title had come from 132 entries at a fifth of the buy-in.

The 2024 Triton Million was the first Triton event to also award a WSOP bracelet, which is how Alejandro Lococo won both in the same tournament.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who has won the most Triton titles?

Jason Koon, with 12 Super High Roller Series titles won between 2018 and 2025. No other player has passed seven. He is one of eight players to have won two Triton Main Events, and one of only two to take both inside a single year.

What is the biggest prize ever won at a Triton event?

Bryn Kenney collected $20,563,324 at the 2019 Triton Million in London. He finished second. A heads-up deal with Aaron Zang gave the runner-up the larger share, and the payment remains the largest ever made in a poker tournament.

How many players have won more than one Triton title?

Fifty-seven, counting both circuits. Fifty-six have multiple Super High Roller Series titles and one, Ngo Khoa Anh, has two Triton ONE titles. Artur Martirosian is the only player holding titles on both.

What is the difference between the Super High Roller Series and Triton ONE?

Buy-ins, measured across the whole history of each circuit rather than one festival. The Super High Roller Series has run from $15,000 to $250,000, with the Triton Million above both. Triton ONE, launched in September 2025, has run from $2,000 to $20,000 and uses the same production and structures.

What is the Ivan Leow Player of the Year award?

The Ivan Leow Player of the Year is Triton’s season-long race, worth $200,000 and a trophy made by London silversmiths Fox Silver. It is named for Triton co-founder Ivan Leow, who died in 2022. Points reward finishing position weighted by buy-in and field size.

Has a woman won a Triton title?

Yes. Xuan Liu was the first, taking the $25,000 WPT Global Slam at Montenegro in May 2025, the 201st event in series history. Yoko Sasaki won on the Triton ONE circuit later that year. Kristen Foxen holds the record cash at $1,449,000.
