The 2026 Triton Super High Roller Series Jeju is officially in the books, with more than $107.2 million in total prize money paid out across 20 events that ran from March 14 through April 1 at LES A Casino in South Korea.
The final few days of the festival were devoted to pot-limit Omaha action. The bright lights were on the $100,000 PLO main event, won by Matthias Eibinger, and the $75,000 six-max title, which went to Alex Foxen. Two additional high-stakes four-card events played out down the stretch, with plenty of action and big prize money on the line.
The first of those to wrap up was the $25,000 PLO six-max. A total of 53 entries made for a $1,325,000 prize pool, with Malaysia’s Wai Leong Chan earning $387,000 as the champion. This was the first Triton title for Chan (pictured above), who had 23 previous in-the-money finishes on the tour. He now boasts nearly $17.2 million in career tournament earnings, with nearly $12.5 million of that coming from his success in Triton events.
Chan’s two top payouts came in close calls at Triton tournaments, finishing as the runner-up in a $2,000,000 HKD (~$255,000 USD) buy-in event in Jeju back in 2018, for $3.2 million, and second again in the 2024 Triton Monte Carlo $125,000 event for nearly $3 million.
This win saw Chan overcome a stacked final table that included the likes of Ben Tollerene (6th – $82,000), Philip Sternheimer (5th – $106,000), and recent $150,000 10th Anniversary event winner Paul Phua (3rd – $181,000).
Sean Rafael, who went on to finish fifth in the $75,000 PLO six-max for $360,000, was the runner-up. The American PLO specialiast earned $278,000 for his strong showing in this event.

Chan was not the only high-stakes regular who captured their first trident trophy down the stretch. The UK’s Robert Cowen defeated 39 entries in the $30,000 PLO turbo bounty quattro tournament to take home the hardware and $622,000 in total prize money. Cowen was awarded $242,000 from the main prize pool as the champion, but also secured $380,000 in bounty payouts.
The two-time bracelet winner from Wales now has nearly $6.9 million in lifetime tournament earnings, with most of his top scores coming from PLO events.
Cowen overcame a stacked final table on his way to securing the win. Ben Tollerene recorded his second straight sixth-place finish, while Punnat Punsri backed up his sixth Triton title win with a fifth-place showing in this event for $86,000 (including $20,000 in bounties). All-time PLO money leader Lautaro Guerra added $85,000 with a fourth-place finish, leaving Cowen in a three-handed showdown with 12-time Triton champion Jason Koon and two-time Card Player Player of the Year award winner Stephen Chidwick.
Koon ultimately fell in third place, earning $112,000. With $72.7 million in career cashes, he now sits in third place on poker’s all-time money list. Right ahead of him is Chidwick, who added $175,000 to his tally as the runner-up. That brought the British superstar’s haul to more than $77.9 million. Only Bryn Kenney ($82 million) has accumulated a higher earnings total on the tournament circuit.
