Triton ONE Jeju 2026: Record-Breaking Main Event, Titles for Ngo Anh and Artur Martirosian

Incredible Comeback by Ngo Khoa Anh

Event #8: $10,000 NLH 7-Handed has been forever etched in the series’ history, thanks to its winner. Vietnamese professional Ngo Khoa Anh delivered a stunning performance, climbing from a short stack position to the title, becoming the first player ever with two Triton ONE titles. His first victory came in September 2025 in the $2K NLH 8-Handed, but this recent triumph is far more significant, with a 347-entry field, a $3,154,577 prizepool, and a $612,000 prize.

Anh entered the final table with just 6 big blinds but doubled up on the first hand and continued to build his stack. In a dramatic heads-up, he faced China’s Wang Yang. The decisive hand occurred when Wang went all-in with A d 3 s and Anh called with A s 4 d. Although Wang hit a three on the flop, a five on the turn completed the winning straight for Anh.

The champion, who started playing poker “just for fun” during the pandemic, was moved and praised the professionalism of the event’s organization.

With this victory, Martirosian became the first player in history to capture trophies in both Triton Poker circuits (ONE and SHRS). The Russian professional defeated China's Yue Zhao in the final duel, earning a $64,000 prize.
