Recap
Callum Jury
Originally from the Lake District, UK, I’ve spent the last few years living and breathing the Southeast Asian poker circuit. Since 2025, I’ve been a fixture on the floor at the APT, PokerStars, and WSOP events, serving as a lead reporter and media specialist for Somuchpoker. My work is about more than just recording action; I manage the social media and digital content that brings action rail to the fans. By combining a business education and creative background, I aim to look past the technical hand histories to capture the actual human grit and drama that happens during a deep run.

The curtain has officially fallen on a record-breaking stop in South Korea as the Triton Jeju 2026 festival reached its fast-paced conclusion late Wednesday night. The final two events of the 20-tournament schedule for the Triton Super High Roller Series produced a pair of dramatic finales at the Les A Casino , crowning American superstar Alex Foxen and British pro Robert Cowen as the last two champions of the series.

Over the course of the festival, the action drew 236 unique players representing 43 countries, generating a staggering $110,430,000 in total prize pools across the entire Triton Jeju 2026 schedule.

Alex Foxen Cruises to Fourth Career Title

Triton Jeju 2026
Alex Foxen captures his fourth Triton title in the $75K PLO 6-Handed event.

The penultimate event of the series, Event #18: $75,000 PLO 6-Handed, saw Alex Foxen return to the winner’s circle. Despite a grueling two weeks in Jeju, Foxen made the final table look effortless, navigating a 60-entry field to secure a $1,260,000 payday.

The victory was Foxen’s fourth career Triton title. A pivotal hand against Philip Sternheimer , where Foxen flopped a straight and called a massive river bluff, gave the American 75% of the chips in play, leading to one of the fastest final table sweeps in tour history.

“This was a nice change of pace from the way that the end game has been going the last handful of events,” Foxen said. “Things were really easy. It’s amazing, the tournament was basically dealt to me. I had the right hands at the right time.”

Robert Cowen Dominates the Bounty Quattro

Triton Jeju 2026
Robert Cowen took down 9.5 of the 10 available bounties in the series finale.

The series finale, Event #19: $30,000 PLO Bounty Quattro, belonged to Robert Cowen. In a display of absolute dominance, Cowen eliminated nearly every opponent at the final table, claiming nine-and-a-half (due to a chopped pot) of the ten available $40,000 bounties.

The final table lasted only 52 minutes. Cowen’s $622,000 total haul (including $380,000 in bounties) provided a massive boost at the end of a difficult series for the British pro. He defeated Stephen Chidwick heads-up to secure his first Triton trophy.

“I think it’s gone as well as any final could go,” Cowen said. “Just ran very, very hot. And that’s the nature of bounties. If you’re running hot, you’re going to win… It’s a rough series, so it’s nice to claw a lot back.”
