The first Triton Poker Super High Roller Series stop of 2026 is in the books. It was once again a rousing success, with more than $107.2 million in total prize money awarded at the two-week festival at LES A Casino in Jeju, South Korea.
This kicked off the 10th year of the tour, which has rapidly risen to one of the most prestigious on the circuit. A total of $1,810,913,275 in prize money has already been awarded. As a result, 279 players have already cashed for $1 million or more in Triton-branded events, with 47 having surpassed the $10 million mark.

King Kenney And His Record Runner-Up Run
Bryn Kenney
The above leaderboard shows the best of the best when it comes to piling up the payouts on this tour. Bryn Kenney remains the only player to surpass the $50 million mark, thanks in large part to the record-setting $20.6 million payout he secured via a heads-up deal in the highest buy-in poker tournament ever held: the 2019 Triton Millions Charity Invitational. 54 entries were made at £1,050,000 a piece, which amounted to more than $1.3 million. While Kenney secured the largest payout, Aaron Zang came back to win the heads-up match for the title.
Kenney is far from a one-hit wonder, though. He has five trident trophies in his collection, and four multi-million-dollar scores on the tour in addition to his aforementioned record triumph. He has nearly $30.2 million in Triton scores outside of that eight-figure windfall, with his second-largest win being a $6.9 million victory in a $262,500 invitational event at the 2023 London stop.
While he has the highest earnings total on the tour, Kenney has the lowest amount of cashes of any player inside the top ten. That makes for an unbelievable average payday per in-the-money finish of $1,258,266, and that is with the outlier $20.6 million result removed. His average soars to above $2 million with that monster score included in the data set.
Kenney officially surpassed $50 million in earnings on the tour with his most recent cash, a third-place finish in a $15,000 high roller during the Triton One Jeju series that preceded the super high festival. He earned $891,000 for his podium showing in the 490-entry field.
Koon, Chidwick, and Badziakouski: The $30-Million-Dollar Men
Every player inside the top 10 on this leaderboard has cashed for at least $25 million in Triton events, but only the top four have surpassed the $30-million-mark.
In addition to Kenney, this fantastic foursome includes the tour’s all-time title leader Jason Koon ($38.3 million), two-time Card Player Player of the Year Stephen Chidwick ($34.3 million), and five-time Triton champion Mikita Badziakouski ($31.8 million).
Koon, a 12-time trident trophy winner, added $2 million to his haul with six cashes during this latest festival, including three top-three finishes. Koon has four multi-million dollar scores on the tour, all in wins. His largest came back in 2018, when he took down a $1,000,000 HKD (~$127.4k USD) short deck event for nearly $3.7 million.
While Kenney leads in earnings and Koon in titles, Chidwick boasts the most cashes of any Triton contender with 76. While he’s not quite the home-run hitter that Kenney is, Chidwick’s average payday per cash is still quite impressive at $450,771. He has three titles on the tour, including a massive $3.4 million win in the 2025 Triton Jeju $200,000 short deck event. The largest score of his career, though, came when he finished fourth in that record-setting charity event for $5.4 million.
Badziakouski secured the first of his five trident trophies back in 2018, with a $2.5 million triumph in the Montenegro main event. The Belarusian high roller’s largest score on the tour came later that year, when he took down a $2 million HKD (~$255k USD) event in Jeju for more than $5.2 million.
While only four players are currently sitting above $30 million, the top ten have all accumulated at least $25 million on the tour. The latest to move past that milestone is Triton co-founder Paul Phua, who took down the $150,000 10th Anniversary event at the recent stop in Jeju for more than $3.2 million and his second title on the tour.
