Triton Unveils New $200K Ivan Leow POY Guarantee and New “Player ONE” Series

As the Triton Super High Roller Series prepares to celebrate its 10th anniversary, the tour has officially confirmed a significant overhaul to its ranking systems. Headlining the announcement is a guaranteed $200,000 top prize for the Ivan Leow Player of the Year race, alongside the introduction of the inaugural “Player ONE” leaderboard for its mid-stakes circuit.

Both competitions are set to commence at the upcoming Triton ONE Jeju stop this March, offering incentives for both the world’s elite high rollers and the growing contingent of Triton ONE contenders. The race is officially on.

$200,000 Guaranteed for Ivan Leow POY

The Ivan Leow Player of the Year title remains the most prestigious accolade in the high-stakes world. For the 2026 season, Triton is elevating the stakes by guaranteeing $200,000 to the overall winner. In a move to reward consistency across the board, the top 10 players on the leaderboard will now finish “in the money” for the first time in the tour’s history, featuring a dynamic prize pool structure that evolves throughout the season.

🏆 A new race for greatness.

Ten years of Triton have defined the moments and titles the world’s best chase. None greater than the Ivan Leow Player of the Year.

This season, a new POY race begins.

The benchmark for the upcoming season was set by Artur Martirosian , the 2024/25 champion. Martirosian’s dominant year included:

• • 28 Triton cashes in 2025 alone (surpassing his career total prior to the season).
  • $7.7 Million in total season earnings.
  • 3 Titles and 11 Final Table appearances.
  • Key scores: 3rd in the Jeju $100K Main Event ($2.64M) and 3rd in the Montenegro $100K PLO Main Event ($1.08M).

🔱 Artur Martirosian claims his THIRD Triton title!

He takes down the $25K PLO event in Jeju for $421,000 and all but seals the Ivan Leow Player of the Year award. A season of consistency and class.
