The year 2024 was nothing short of legendary for the Triton Poker Series, packed with record-breaking achievements and unforgettable moments.
We kicked off the year at Triton Poker SHRS Jeju 2024 with a bang. Our $100K NLH Main Event shattered records, drawing 216 entries and generating a jaw-dropping $21.6M prize pool. It set a new poker history benchmark for the highest-ever attendance in a six-figure buy-in tournament.
By the end of the year, we celebrated another historic milestone: surpassing $1 billion in total prize money awarded since the series’ inception. The biggest single prize, a staggering $12 million, was claimed by Alejandro Lococo during his debut at the Triton Million in the Bahamas, making it the largest tournament prize won by any player this year.

These milestones are a testament to Triton’s vision of being The Pinnacle of Poker, and is made possible by the incredible players who join us at every stop, through every season. From Jeju to the Bahamas, over 500 players from across the globe competed on poker’s most prestigious stage. From elite professionals to titans of industry, our events brought back poker’s biggest names while introducing fresh faces to the ultra-high-stakes scene.
We crowned 26 new champions, including some of the game’s greatest — Chris Moneymaker, Nick Petrangelo, Adrian Mateos, and more — whose stories are now a celebrated part of the Triton legacy.
Triton Poker Series Trophy
Each champion took home the coveted Triton Poker Series signature trophy, a true emblem of success in high-stakes poker. Winning this trophy is more than earning a prize, it’s proof of a player’s ability to compete at the highest level, showcasing excellence, skill, and determination while facing off with the best in the game.
Player of the Year
One of the year’s most inspiring moments was crowning Danny Tang as the Ivan Leow Player of the Year for Season 3 of the Triton Poker Super High Roller Series during a spectacular champions ceremony. Danny received the newly unveiled Ivan Leow Player of the Year trophy and a $200,000 cash prize.
The intricately designed trophy represents much more than an award. It’s a symbol of resilience, passion, and the unyielding perseverance that define our Player of the Year. It embodies the spirit of the late Ivan Leow, a founding member of Triton Poker Series.
Crafted by master silversmith Fox Silver, the Ivan Leow Player of the Year trophy has ignited ambition among players eager to claim this prestigious honor. Danny now joins Jason Koon as not only an Ivan Leow Player of the Year, but now proudly serves as a Triton Poker Series ambassador.
Danny’s journey to this incredible title is featured in our first-ever Triton Poker Series production, Race to the Top: An Ambassador Story. This mini-documentary kicks off a new era of storytelling for Triton, documenting the lives of poker’s biggest names beyond the felt.
In 2024, you watched these iconic moments unfold through our ever-expanding livestreams. With peak concurrent views exceeding 50,000 for the Triton Million Bahamas on YouTube and Twitch, along with Instagram followers surpassing 100,000 and YouTube subscribers crossing 300,000, our Triton community has grown like never before.
