Triton Poker Invitational 2026: All 48 Pros Ranked
The Triton Poker Invitational 2026 features 48 professionals, chosen by their invitees, to compete in the $200,000 buy-in event at Maestral Resort in Montenegro . Between them, these pros have won over 120 Triton Poker titles and earned more than $600 million on the series alone.
Here’s my top 10 – the pros I’d be watching most closely from Day 1. This list reflects my editorial opinion, backed by Triton stats, current form, and my liking.
The complete field rankings are in the table below – draw your own conclusions.

The Top 10 Pros in the 2026 Triton Poker Invitational Field
1. Bryn Kenney – Triton All-Time #1 | 5 Titles | $50.8M
Bryn Kenney sits at the top of the Triton all-time earnings list with $50.8 million. That number alone makes him the most profitable player in the series’ history.
Five titles, 25 cashes, and a style that combines mathematical precision with a pressure-based aggression that has dismantled some of the best fields ever assembled. Alexey Lozuyk picked him. At these stakes, that’s one of the highest-conviction choices in the field.
2. Jason Koon – Triton All-Time #2 | 12 Titles | $38.5M
No pro in this field has more Triton titles than Jason Koon . Twelve. In a series where a single title is a career-defining achievement, Koon has built a collection that puts him in a category almost entirely his own.
The American player has been the defining force of the Triton circuit over the past five years – consistently going deep, consistently converting late-stage chip leads, and consistently performing at the highest level regardless of format. Jonathan Brooks made a smart call choosing him.
3. Stephen Chidwick – Triton All-Time #3 | 3 Titles | $34.3M
Stephen Chidwick has 77 Triton cashes – the most of any pro in the entire 2026 Invitational field. That depth of experience is almost impossible to overstate.
The British pro is one of the most technically sound players alive, known for finding thin edges in spots where others punt or fold. Three titles don’t fully represent how often he’s been deep in these events. Alfred Decarolis chose someone who simply doesn’t make final table mistakes.
4. Mikita Badziakouski – Triton All-Time #4 | 5 Titles | $32M
The Belarusian is one of the most feared players on the entire circuit. Mikita Badziakouski has five Triton titles, $32 million in series earnings, and an aggressive, high-pressure style that creates problems for opponents at every stack depth.
Ramin Hajiyev chose Badziakouski – and given how well Ramin runs deep in Triton events himself, this is a pairing that carries real danger for the rest of the field.
5. Dan Dvoress – Triton All-Time #5 | 4 Titles | $30.4M
Daniel Dvoress recently became one of the very few players to win Triton titles in No-Limit Hold’em, Pot-Limit Omaha, and Short Deck. That cross-format excellence puts him in elite company.
The Canadian passed $50 million in total live earnings earlier this year. He is one of the deepest thinkers in the game – patient, structured, and dangerous at every stage of a tournament. Selahaddin Bedir’s choice of Dvoress is one of the stronger pairings in the entire field.

6. Punnat Punsri – Triton All-Time #6 | 6 Titles | $27.7M
Six Triton titles tie Punnat Punsri with Matthias Eibinger for the most among any pro in this field.
The Thai legend has been a Triton fixture since the series’ earliest events and brings a calm, composed playing style that rarely makes costly mistakes. Ding Biao – himself a serious Triton player at #29 all-time – chose Punsri. This is two experienced Triton hands paired together.

7. Danny Tang – Triton All-Time #7 | 5 Titles | $27.2M
Danny Tang is one of the most recognized names on the Asian high-stakes circuit and a consistent top-10 Triton performer.
Five titles across a decade of competition in the series. He plays a controlled, disciplined game that tends to accumulate rather than gamble – an effective strategy in deep-structured events like the Invitational. Chase Cokaliong made a high-quality pick at #7 all-time.

8. Matthias Eibinger – Triton All-Time #15 | 6 Titles | $19.4M
Don’t let the #15 ranking deceive you – Matthias Eibinger ‘s six Triton titles match Punsri for the most of any pro in this field, and his conversion rate is exceptional.
The Austrian has won across multiple formats and is particularly dangerous in deep-stacked NLH events, just as in the Invitational. Sinan Unlu has arguably the best win-rate pick in the entire field.

9. Alex Foxen – Triton All-Time #26 | 4 Titles | $16.3M
Alex Foxen arrives in Montenegro as arguably the hottest player in poker right now. Four Triton titles, three wins and five final tables in 2026 alone, a record-tying 13th PGT title, and $58 million in total live earnings across his career. He won a Triton title at Jeju just six weeks ago. Ethan Yau’s choice of Foxen looks sharper by the day.
But the subplot makes this pairing even more compelling: Foxen’s wife, Kristen Foxen , is also in the field as Rob Yong’s pro. She won at this exact venue last year. Husband and wife competing on opposite sides of the same $200K event. One of them is walking away with a result at Maestral Resort. Watch both tables.

10. Fedor Holz – Triton All-Time #12 | 5 Titles | $21.8M
Fedor Holz won the very first Triton event in 2016 and has remained one of the circuit’s most celebrated figures ever since.
Five titles. A playing style built on deep preparation, composure under pressure, and an ability to make the right call in the spots that matter most. He stepped back from full-time grinding years ago but never stopped competing at the highest level. Jessica Teusl’s decision to invite him is a statement of intent.
