Jason Koon leads Triton Poker title race with 12 wins ahead of North Cyprus stop

Jason Koon leads the Triton Poker title standings with 12 victories as the series prepares for its final stop of the year in North Cyprus next week. Three players share second place with seven wins each, according to Card Player.

Koon has a five-title advantage over Daniel Dvoress, Matthias Eibinger and Michael Watson. He also shares the lead for cashes with Dvoress at 81 and ranks second in Triton earnings with $40.9 million, behind Bryn Kenney's $51.3 million.

The 41-year-old won his first Triton title in Montenegro in 2018 in a short deck tournament. His 12 wins comprise four short deck titles, two pot-limit Omaha titles and six no-limit hold’em titles.

Koon's most recent titles came in the spring of 2025, when he won two events at the Montenegro stop. His first Triton win remains his largest tournament payday, worth $3,653,260.

Dvoress entered the year with three titles and won three more at the Montenegro stop: a $25,000 no-limit hold’em event, the $100,000 pot-limit Omaha main event and a $25,000 PLO turbo bounty event. He added his seventh title in a $30,000 no-limit event at the fall Jeju stop.

Eibinger earned his seventh victory this spring in a $50,000 PLO mystery bounty event. Watson reached seven titles with two wins at this year's Montenegro stop, after claiming his first Triton title in 2023.

Danny Tang and Punnat Punsri are tied on six titles. Six players have five wins each: Kenney, Phil Ivey, Mikita Badziakouski, Fedor Holz, Ben Tollerene and Artur Martirosian.

Triton-branded events have awarded more than $2 billion in prize money since the series debuted in 2016. Card Player compiled the figures from Triton's official database on Nov. 12, 2026; the upcoming North Cyprus festival runs through Nov. 30.
