Triton Jeju Station | Klemens Roiter defeats Alejandro Lococo to win his first Triton championship and take home $771,000.

The second event of the 2026 Triton Super High Roller Series Jeju has officially concluded. 35-year-old Austrian professional poker player Klemens Roiter emerged victorious from a field of 174 entries in Event #2:$20,000 No-Limit Hold'em, ultimately defeating Argentine veteran Alejandro “Papo MC” Lococo in the heads-up stage to win the $771,000 first-place prize and his first Triton title.

This victory is especially significant for Roiter. Over the past two and a half years, he has made the money line 17 times in the Triton and reached the Final Table 12 times. In the four main race runs, he finished 7th, 5th, 3rd, and 2nd respectively, but he had never been able to complete the final step. Now, he has finally broken his championship drought in Jeju.

174 participants, total prize pool of $3.48 million

This match, $20,000 NLH, was played at the 30-minute level, and the overall pace of the game was quite fast.

Total scores recorded in the event:

The bubble fight ended in the latter part of Day 1, and all 25 players who advanced to Day 2 were already in the prize pool.

Du Qiao AK collided with KK and AA, becoming the last bubble.

The most brutal hand of Day 1 came in the bubble of the prize pool.

Du Qiao holds:

A♦ K♥

Approximately 13 large blinds were placed.

Xuan Liu obtained the button location:

KK

They are calling with approximately 30 big blinds.

However, the game was not over yet. Webster Lim, in the big blind, also chose to go all in with his chips, and his hand was:

AA

This results in a very rare three-way all-in situation: AK vs. KK vs. AA.

Du Qiao had almost no chance of survival against two stronger starting hands, and the community cards ultimately failed to bring a comeback, making him the last bubble player to miss out on the prize money.

Although Xuan Liu was quickly eliminated, he at least won the minimum prize; Webster Lim, on the other hand, jumped directly to the top of the scoreboard with this hand.

Yu Zhang led the final table of 9 players.

As we entered Day 2, the elimination rate continued to accelerate.

When the final nine players formed the Final Table, Yu Zhang successfully surpassed Webster Lim to take the top spot on the scoreboard.

Final Table (Starting Scoreboard)

Roiter entered the final table ranked only 6th, not the chip leader, but ultimately survived to the end.

Ding Biao finished in 9th place, earning $78,000.

Chinese player Ding Biao became the first player eliminated from the Final Table.

At that time, Alejandro Lococo went all-in from the SB position, and with approximately 12 big blinds, he won from the BB position:

A♥10♦

and chose to call.

Lococo, however, holds the following view:

22

In the end, Pocket 2 successfully held onto his lead, and Ding Biao finished the game in 9th place, with the following results:

$78,000

Ding Biao already had three Triton championships, two of which were won in Jeju, but he failed to make a further push for a fourth title in this race.

Jesse Lonis's pocket J was reversed by Lococo's three 7s.

Eighth place was taken by four-time Triton champion Jesse Lonis.

Lonis raises with pocket jacks from the UTG position, and Lococo uses a bet from the BB position:

J♦7♠

He called.

Flop:

7♦ 3♠ 6♣

Lococo hit top pair, and Lonis checked and called with a bet of about half the pot.

Turn:

7♥

Lococo completed three 7s.

He bet about a third of the pot, and Lonis went all-in with pocket Jacks overpair, which Lococo quickly called.

The river card didn't help Lonis, and he was eliminated in 8th place, earning:

$94,000

Yu Zhang dropped from chip leader at the final table to 7th place.

Yu Zhang was initially leading the Final Table with 6,075,000 chips, but his early key game against Mehdi Chaoui quickly diminished his lead.

In one of the blinds, Chaoui held:

A♦5♦

To Yu Zhang:

A♣6♥

Both players went all-in pre-flop, and Chaoui ultimately completed a flush comeback on the river.

After this hand, Yu Zhang had only about 4 big blinds left.

In his final hand, he went all-in with K♥8♠ at UTG+1, only to run into Justin Saliba's A♥A♣ at the button, ultimately failing to improve his situation.

Yu Zhang obtained:

No. 7, $130,000

Webster Lim AK lost, finishing in 6th place.

Webster Lim became the game's score leader after going all-in on Day 1's bubble, and remained in second place when he entered the Final Table.

But as the blinds continued to increase, his chip count gradually declined.

In the final move, Lim holds:

A♠K♥

Mehdi Chaoui: All down

Q♦J♦

He called.

The flop came up with a Queen, and the turn card was a Jack, giving Chaoui two pair.

Lim ultimately achieved:

No. 6, $179,000

Chu Chi-Jen finished 5th, setting a new record for the Jeju Deep Run.

Chu Chi-Jen from Taiwan, China, achieved another important result in this competition.

He had only made the money once before in Triton, but that also happened in Jeju, where he finished third in a $30,000 event and earned over $500,000.

He made it to the Final Table once again.

In the final move, Chu Chi-Jen threw in the remaining 6 big blinds with the pocket 8s, and Lococo used:

A♥3♥

He called.

The flop came up with an Ace, giving Lococo the lead, and the river card brought out a 3 to seal the victory.

Chu Chi-Jen's final ranking:

5th place, $233,000

This is his second time reaching the Triton final table in his career.

Lococo eliminated both Chaoui and Saliba in a single double elimination.

Once the game moved to a four-player table, one of the biggest and most crucial pots of the Final Table emerged.

Justin Saliba holds the following position in the BTN:

Q♠J♦

Approximately 11 large blinds were all down.

Mehdi Chaoui holds the following position in the SB position:

9♥9♦

Call all score cards.

Lococo, in the big blind position, received:

A♣10♠

Choosing to join creates a three-way all-in situation.

Board:

J♣ 7♥ 8♣ Q♣ 9♣

Saliba initially gained the upper hand on the board, but Lococo ultimately completed a flush on the river, eliminating both opponents.

Ultimately:

Lococo thus gained a huge advantage and entered the one-on-one match.

Lococo had a 51BB head-to-head lead against Roiter's 19BB, at one point holding a significant advantage.

At the start of the one-on-one match, Lococo holds:

51 Great Blinds

Roiter, on the other hand, only has:

19 Great Blinds

On the surface, Lococo has a clear advantage.

But Rioter quickly closed the gap through several key pots.

In one hand, Roiter filled the blind with J♠7♥, and Lococo checked with 10♥9♦.

Flop:

3♣ 2♦ J♦

Roiter hits a top pair bet, and Lococo calls.

Turn:

9♥

Lococo also hit a pair, and both sides continued to place bets and call.

River:

6♥

Roiter went all-in for about two-thirds of the pot, and Lococo called, but Roiter's J pair still gave him the lead.

After this move, the scoreboards for both sides were almost back to square one.

A 7-2 full house hits the hero's call, allowing Rioter to complete a crucial comeback.

The game that truly changed the course of the championship then unfolded.

Roiter at BB position:

7♦2♣

Pass the card and see the flipped card.

Flop:

5♦ 7♥ 10♣

Roiter hit 7 pairs.

Lococo holds:

Q♠J♥

Continuing to bet, Roiter checks and calls.

The turn card dealt another 7, giving Roiter a set.

River:

5♥

Roiter further refined the gourd.

He went all-in on the river, while Lococo only had Queen-high and relied on two pair on the board to create showdown value.

After much deliberation, Lococo finally made a call on the hero, but his judgment was wrong.

This hand almost wiped out all of Lococo's chips, leaving them with less than one big blind.

Roiter delivered the final blow, ending years of championship waiting.

Lococo subsequently doubled its money once, but it was too late to change the overall situation.

In the final move, Rioter held:

10♥8♥

Against Lococo:

A♣9♦

Roiter eventually hit a pair of eights and won the pot, officially ending the match.

Klemens Roiter thus won:

Triton's first career championship

LI XIAO YU

$771,000 Champion Prize Money

After 17 attempts to reach the money and 12 final table appearances, he finally reached the top.

For Roiter, this trophy is more than just another large sum of money.

Before winning the championship, his Triton resume already included:

• 17 times entering the prize pool

• 12 Final Tables

• They finished 7th, 5th, 3rd and 2nd in the four main tournaments respectively.

But a championship trophy has always been lacking.

Roiter revealed that he started Day 2 with only 17 big blinds, and even dropped to 7 big blinds when there were 14 players left. However, he was not affected by the short score situation and eventually made a comeback.

After the match, he said that he had been participating in live competitions around the world for many years, constantly investing time in learning and improving, and this victory finally paid off all his efforts.

Triton's second champion in Jeju has been officially crowned.

After Event #2, Klemens Roiter officially claimed the second championship trophy at the Triton Jeju event.

This Final Table featured several Triton champions, including Alejandro Lococo, Jesse Lonis, Webster Lim, and Ding Biao, but Roiter ultimately came back from sixth place to win heads-up after trailing 51BB to 19BB.

From coming close to the championship multiple times to finally reaching the top in Jeju, this victory also completes the most important piece of the puzzle for Roiter's Triton career.
