Khoa Anh Ngo rises from Triton ONE to become a Super High Roller champion.

Khoa Anh Ngo won the Triton Jeju II $25K event, earning $1,090,000 and his third Triton trophy. He defeated Anatoly Filatov heads-up, becoming the second player to win both the Triton ONE and Super High Roller events.

Khoa Anh Ngo is no stranger to making history in Triton Poker. After all, he is the first and, to date, only two-time champion in the history of the Triton ONE Tour.

Now, he has added another Super High Roller title, further enhancing his reputation in the global poker world, and also earning a considerable $1,090,000 prize.

Anh Ngo won the $25K NLH Titi Poker event at the Triton Super High Roller Series Jeju II. This series is rapidly gaining recognition for its numerous first-time winners and rising stars.

The Vietnamese player defeated top Russian player Anatoly Filatov in heads-up play to win his third Triton trophy. He told PokerNews after the match, "Winning two Triton ONE titles means a lot to me and gives me a lot of confidence. It makes me want to try to go further and participate in Triton Super High Roller Series events."

Anh Ngo: "Completely confident"」

Anh Ngo's extensive experience in Triton played a crucial role in his heads-up match against Filatov. The three-time champion stated that he was "fully confident" of victory after his opponent refused the ICM deal.

“It’s always good to reduce volatility,” he said. “Poker is known to be a highly volatile game. So I discussed it with him, but he disagreed. Then we continued playing.”

For Anh Ngo, this has been an extraordinary and rapid rise to prominence. He only started playing poker during the COVID-19 pandemic. Even he admits that he never expected things to develop so quickly.

"To be honest, I never imagined I'd get to this point in the beginning. I will strive to become a better version of myself, study hard, and keep improving. I believe poker is a long road, and we never know what the future holds. I'm just doing my best and hoping for the best."

The final six battled for supremacy, with the top spot seeing dramatic shifts in fortunes.

The three-day tournament saw the return of six players on the final day, vying for a seven-figure prize pool, while the remaining players have secured at least $250,000.

American duo David Coleman and Ike Haxton, both Super High Roller champions, have amassed millions in prize money at Triton and lead the pack with their chip stacks. Following closely are Aren Bezhanyan and Filatov, both of whom have lifted the prestigious Trident trophy in Jeju Island. Anh Ngo and Joe Hindry, on the other hand, are near the bottom of the chip list, with relatively less experience winning top-tier super high-stakes events.

In the first big pot of the day, Anh Ngo quickly took control of the game – he won a huge pot with AA against Coleman’s KJ, doubling up from the chip leader at the start of the game.

From then on, Anh Ngo was unstoppable. After Filatov eliminated Hindry in sixth place, Coleman was eliminated immediately, quickly relinquishing his chip lead and losing to Bezhanyan in fifth place, while Anh Ngo held a large chip stack.

Next, Anh Ngo, facing pocket QQ, eliminated the Armenian player with a bit of luck. His suited J9 spades made a flush on the turn, giving him the lead and leaving three players in the game.

Haxton was then eliminated, his chip stack significantly shorter than Anh Ngo's and Filatov's. The Vietnamese star once again proved to be a final-table finisher, beating A5 with A7 to hit a middle pair on the flop and eliminating Haxton.

After entering the heads-up stage, the two players, with the assistance of Luca Vivaldi, Senior Director of Live Events at Triton, discussed the possibility of an ICM agreement, but failed to reach a consensus. Therefore, the tournament will continue to be a full contest for a prize pool of nearly $1.1 million.

Anh Ngo took the lead going into heads-up and never relinquished it. He further extended his lead by defeating defending champion Filatov (who won the event last year) with a 93 flush in an 18-big-blind pot.

In the deciding hand, both players had pairs of eights and went all-in after the flop. Anh Ngo hit two pair, ending the match.

A million-dollar winner, the second most successful poker player in Vietnamese history, and the second player in history to win both the Triton ONE and the Super High Roller series simultaneously has been born.
