Alex Anton Wins First Triton Title In Jeju

Alex Anton secured his first Triton Poker title by winning the $30,000 No-Limit Hold'em Turbo at Triton Jeju. Anton topped 70 entries in Event #9 and earned $577,000 after defeating Artur Martirosian heads-up.

The result added a major Triton breakthrough to Anton's recent live tournament résumé, coming three months after he won a WSOP bracelet. It was also the strongest finish in a Jeju week where he had already recorded multiple Triton cashes.

A Breakthrough Built on a Strong Jeju Series

Anton's Event #9 victory was his fourth Triton cash overall. Before closing out the $30,000 No-Limit Hold'em Turbo, he had cashed in Event #5 and finished third in Event #7 during the same week in Jeju.

That sequence gave Anton more than a single final-table spike. His $577,000 first-place payout was the second-largest cash of his career and capped a series of results that showed consistency across the Triton Jeju schedule.

Heads-Up Play Began With a Narrow Gap

Anton entered heads-up play against Artur Martirosian with 7.8 million chips to Martirosian's 6.2 million. The margin gave Anton the lead, but the final duel began with enough chips on both sides to keep the title race competitive.

Martirosian finished second for $411,000, a result that moved his Triton earnings above $16 million. Alisson Piekazewicz placed third for $269,000.

Final Table Payouts

The listed final-table payouts in Triton Jeju Event #9 were:

• Alex Anton — 1st, $577,000
• Artur Martirosian — 2nd, $411,000
• Alisson Piekazewicz — 3rd, $269,000
• Stephen Chidwick — 4th, $207,000
• Adrian Mateos — 5th, $164,000
• Byron Kaverman — 6th, $128,000
• Mikita Badziakouski — 7th, $101,000
• Winfred Yu — 8th, $79,000

The final table brought together established high-stakes tournament players, with Anton ultimately converting his chip lead into the first Triton title of his career.

Another Major Result After a WSOP Bracelet

Anton's Jeju win came three months after his WSOP bracelet victory, giving him two significant live tournament milestones in a short span. The Triton title also arrived after repeated success at the same festival, with his Event #5 cash and Event #7 third-place finish preceding the Event #9 win.

For Martirosian, the runner-up finish added another major Triton score to a record that had already surpassed $16 million in earnings. For Anton, the $577,000 victory marked the point where a strong Jeju week turned into a career-defining Triton result.
