Triton Jeju II | Daniel Dvoress defeats Xuan Liu to avenge his earlier loss and claim his seventh Triton title.
International newsOn September 9, 2026, the Triton Super High Roller Series Jeju II $30,000 NLH 8-Handed tournament concluded with the championship match. Canadian high-stakes veteran Daniel Dvoress held a chip lead from the start of the final day and maintained control throughout, ultimately defeating compatriot Xuan Liu in heads-up play to claim the $942,000 first-place prize and her seventh Triton title. This heads-up match also carried a clear sense of rematch. In May 2025, Xuan Liu defeated Dvoress heads-up at the Triton Montenegro WPT Global Slam, winning $860,000 and becoming the first female champion in Triton history. More than a year later, the two met again in the Triton Championship, this time with Dvoress avenging her earlier loss. Dvoress led from chip leader all the way to the final day, and she gave virtually no chance for other competitors to catch up. In a post-match interview with PokerNews, he described how he won almost all of his all-in games, and how his luck and rhythm throughout the match were quite smooth. This Canadian player's total live tournament winnings now exceed $54 million, and this Jeju victory further increases his Triton title count to 7 (1TP 4T 30K).
