Triton One Wraps Up With Joshua Gebissa At Top Of The Highlights

Triton One was finally unleashed, and high rollers from all over the world answered the call, descending upon Landing Casino at Jeju Island, South Korea. Running from September 2 to 8, 2025, this inaugural event was the brand’s introduction of a mid-stakes bracket, built squarely as a proving ground for those aspiring for the elite stage of the prestigious brand.

Still, buy-ins were not for the light-pocketed with tournaments costing anywhere from $2,000 to $20,000.  Unsurprisingly, recreational players were a rarity in the field. From Asia to the Pacific and beyond, it was similar to the WSOP where poker’s most recognizable names gathered to battle for prestige and massive payouts. With the event now concluded, here are the champions and highlights of Triton’s newest chapter.

Punsri Unable To Close; Gebissa Crowned Triton One Main Event Champion

The centerpiece of the inaugural games was the Triton One Main Event which drew 1,046 entries (496 uniques) across two starting days – 520 entries (Day 1A), 526 entries (Day 1B). With each entry costing a hefty $8,000, the prize pool soared to $7,607,558. Among the large crowd of aspirants that ran deep for a piece of the enormous pot were Paul Ming Juen Teoh (12th), Takashi Yagura (16th), Julian Warhurst (21st), Chase Cokaliong (25th), Martin Sedlak (26th), Ta Wei Tou (44th), Nang Quang Nguyen (45th), and Lok Ming Chan (58th) to name a few.

At the final table, half the field were newcomers including Germany’s Joshua Gebissa who faced Triton decorated champion Punnat Punsri for the title. On paper, the Gebissa was the clear underdog – his live résumé paling in comparison to Punsri’s bloated track record. And when heads up play began, the numbers told the same story. Punsri sat on a commanding 129 big blinds to Gebissa’s 35 big blinds.

With a full rail cheering on both sides and thousands watching via livestream, it took nearly three hours to determine a champion. During the first hour, Punsri maintained his commanding lead until a failed bluff with 9♥3♥ versus K♠Q♥ top pair on a board 6♣Q♣K♥2♥J♠ doubled up Gebissa to tighten the gap with Punsri 65 big blinds and Gebissa 50 big blinds.

As Punsri grinded to widen the gap, another all in showdown was claimed by Gebissa to practically seal the win. With A♣7♣, he called Punsri’s Q♦2♥ three-bet then landed trips on a flop 7♦7♥Q♣. Punsri continued to fire through the turn 3♠ then tank-called Gebissa’s big shove on the river 6♦. This sent Punsri down to just 4 big blinds, and despite securing one double up, he was ousted in 2nd place. The last hand is pictured above – Gebissa called Punsri’s shove on the turn with second pair and it held on the river Q♣.
