The Triton Super High Roller Series Jeju II has concluded in South Korea, with the 14-event festival distributing $103.2 million across 1,752 total entries, an average prize pool of nearly $7.4 million per tournament. Three events alone paid out eight-figure sums, led by the $200,000 Triton Invitational, which attracted 176 entries and built a $34,600,000 prize pool. Joao Simao won that tournament, collecting more than $7.2 million for the title.
The series wrapped with a $30,000 buy-in no-limit hold’em turbo, a much smaller affair by Triton’s standards. Just 23 entries created a $690,000 prize pool, with only the top five finishers paid. Wang Ye took the largest share, earning $256,000 for his first Triton title. It marked his 20th Triton cash and pushed his career earnings beyond $13.7 million, with over $11.8 million of that coming from Triton events specifically.
Wang faced a brutal final table, with all four of his opponents already holding multiple Triton titles. Benjamin Tollerene departed first once the bubble burst, taking $65,000 for fifth. The five-time Triton champion had a strong series overall, cashing six times including a win in the $50,000 turbo bounty quattro event worth $652,000.
Six-time Triton winner Punnat Punsri eliminated Tollerene but was knocked out himself by Wang shortly after, earning $81,000 for his third top-four finish of the festival. Matthias Eibinger, who trails only four players in all-time Triton titles, fell in third for $112,000 after his K♥10♥ failed to catch up to Wang’s A♣3♣. It was Eibinger’s fourth cash of the series but his first final-table appearance.
Wang carried a chip lead of better than 2:1 into heads-up play against four-time Triton champion Kiat Lee, who had won the $40,000 mystery bounty event a week earlier. The decisive hand saw Lee make a straight with 8♠4♣ on a board of J♣10♠7♠9♦7♥, only for Wang to reveal J♠7♣ for sevens full of jacks, sealing the title and sending Lee to a $176,000 runner-up finish.
The result also shook up the Card Player Player of the Year standings presented by CoinPoker. Wang’s win, his second title and seventh final table of the year, added 252 points to move him to 3,200 overall, just outside the top 50. Punsri’s fourth-place run gave him his 25th final table of the year and lifted him to the top of the leaderboard with 7,624 points across four titles. Lee’s runner-up finish added 210 points for a total of 4,741, good for 21st, while Eibinger climbed to 32nd on the back of his 11th final table of the season. Tollerene improved to 40th place with two wins and 11 final tables in 2026.
