Ander Vallinas Continues Hot Streak, Leading $25K Final Six As $30K Event Nears Conclusion; $40K Mystery Bounty Set For Today

Triton Super High Roller Series Jeju 2026 continues to deliver intense high-stakes action at Les A Casino. The Super High Roller Series now shifts focus to two tournaments heading into their climactic finales, with two players running hot leading the events, and the $40K Mystery Bounty set to kick off later.

Ander Vallinas Leads Final Six In $25,000 NLH - JUPITER Event

While no trophies were awarded yesterday, Event #2 has reached its final six players. The $25K NLH drew 262 entries, building a prize pool of $6,550,000, with 41 players finishing in the money.

Leading the way is Ander Vallinas, who has been running hot in Jeju. The Spanish pro recently finished runner-up in the Triton ONE 2026 Main Event, pocketing $1,337,000 in a heads-up deal with Zhao Wenjie. Vallinas has now cashed four times in the series, pushing his total Triton earnings to $1,595,700.

Vallinas tops the chip counts heading into the final six with 17,600,000 (70 big blinds), giving him a strong position over a stacked lineup of experienced competitors.

Final Six Chip Counts

All six players have already locked up $304,000, but the top prize of $1,303,000 and the Triton trophy remain the ultimate targets.

Play resumes today at 1:00 PM KST, starting at Level 24: 125K/250K/250K.

Trophy In Sight: Aren Bezhanyan Runs The Table At $30K NLH

Event #3 $30,000 NLH 8-Handed moved toward its conclusion, with 27 players remaining from a starting field of 172 entries, generating a $5,160,000 prize pool. After the bubble burst the previous day, all remaining players were in the money, guaranteed at least $51,500, with the winner set to claim $1,143,000 and the Triton trophy.

The bubble burst when Ramin Hajiyev’s pocket kings fell to Danny Tang’s ace-queen, Tang hitting an ace on the flop to eliminate Hajiyev. From that point onward, every remaining player was guaranteed a payout.

Aren Bezhanyan led the field with 3,015,000 chips (50 big blinds). Bezhanyan had just come off a win in Event #1 $20,000 NLH, where he earned $990,000 and claimed his first Triton trophy after defeating Aleks Ponakovs heads-up. He was now aiming for a back-to-back victory and a second Triton title.

Among the remaining 27 players, several familiar high-stakes names are still in contention: Patrik Antonius (2,155,000), Benjamin Heath (1,120,000), Jesse Lonis (1,115,000), Lim Chin Wei (1,080,000), Matthias Eibinger (1,035,000), Kristen Foxen (860,000), Mikita Badziakouski (630,000), and Tony Ren Lin (260,000).

Chip Counts of Remaining Players

Play resumes today at 1:00 PM KST, beginning at Level 19: 30K/60K/60K.

The Hunt Begins: $40K Mystery Bounty Day 1

The $40,000 NLH Mystery Bounty is scheduled to begin today at 3:00 PM KST. Players will start with 200,000 chips and 200 big blinds on the first two levels. Each level will last 35 minutes, providing a structured and competitive start to Day 1 of the event.
