Wai Kiat Lee's triple kill kicks off Triton's mysterious bounty comeback.

Wai Kiat Lee won the Triton Super High Roller Jeju II $40K Mystery Bounty event, earning $619,000 and his fourth Triton title. He staged a heads-up comeback against Jamil Wakil and secured a triple kill on the final table bubble.

Wai Kiat Lee continued his recent excellent form on the Triton Tour, winning the $40K NLH Mystery Bounty event in the Jeju II Super High Roller Series, earning $619,000 in prize money and eight bounty envelopes.

The Malaysian star won his fourth Triton title, and his second in 2026. He defeated Canadian Jamil Wakil in heads-up play, overcoming a significant deficit in a thrilling match.

The two players hold a total of fourteen bounty envelopes. The top two players are guaranteed to receive an additional sum from their bounty, ranging from $40,000 to $400,000, at Friday's bounty ceremony, making their already million-dollar prize even more substantial.

Lee won the tournament amidst cheers from a packed house at Les A Casino. Afterwards, he told Triton that the feeling was "overwhelming," adding, "To be honest, I was lucky most of the time. I got all the good cards, and the board was always in my favor. I was just lucky."

"Without Triton, nobody would know me," Lee said. "I started my career at Triton, and Mr. Paul (Phua) helped me a lot throughout my career. I'm very grateful to Triton; Triton is like my home... With my family and friends there, you work harder and don't want to let them down. You work harder to win the match."

However, he didn't spend much time celebrating his victory, immediately registering late for the $50,000 NLH eight-player tournament, which was held opposite the live broadcast stage, as a true hard-working player.

Triton SHRS Jeju II $40k NLH Mystery Bounty Tournament Final Table Results

Lee's triple kill led the early action of the day.

Thirty-three players returned to the final day, with Kayhan Mokri leading Alex Anton and Wakil.

The first notable action of the day was Christoph Vogelsang – who won the $100K Main Event at the same event last year – unfortunately became the bubble boy, his pocket 10s crashing into pocket Qs.

More players were subsequently eliminated, and Jean-Noel Thorel and Bernhard Binder joined Batuhan Yildiz and Jesse Lonis in the envelope ceremony, the latter two just one step away from making the money. Lee then finalized the final table in a stunning fashion.

In a pre-flop all-in showdown, Seth Davies, Phil Ivey, and Samuel Mullur fell victim to Lee's stunning triple kill, winning three bounty envelopes in the process. He must have thought he was dreaming when he woke up in the big blind with pocket aces and dominated all three opponents on the turn. Meanwhile, the three eliminated players received at least seven consolation prizes, along with winnings ranging from $52,000 to $62,000.

This allowed the Malaysian player, who has over $23 million in live winnings on the Triton Circuit alone, to enter the final table with more than half of his chips. The final table also included David Coleman, Punnat Punsri, and Mokri.

Wakil controlled the situation at the final table.

The eight-player final table started fast, with Lee quickly defeating Coleman with A6 against A4 to eliminate him and claim his prize. This was another deep run for Coleman in this Jeju series, but he has yet to achieve a truly significant result and a second title.

Driven by the bounty dynamics, players were willing to gamble, and Mokri's pocket six held on in a massive three-way pot with Punsri and Lee, securing another triple kill. Joe Hindry was subsequently eliminated in seventh place, his AJ being outmatched by Wakil's AK. The British player finished with $105,000, another deep playoff run and another final table, bringing his Korean journey to a perfect close.

Mokri, who started the day as chip leader, finished in sixth place. He was in a favorable position to go all-in against Wakil after being cut down to just a few big blinds, but ultimately his run was unsuccessful. Sirzat Hissou was subsequently eliminated in a similar fashion, with Lee willing to go all-in pre-flop with 6-3 of different suits for a prize envelope, only to make a straight on the river that beat KJ, sending the German player to the money table.

If the triple kill on the final table bubble is the main course, then the subsequent double kills in third and fourth place are the delicious after-dinner drinks. This time it was Wakil who, like Lee, took home his sixth prize envelope after hitting two pair on the flop against Punsri and Anton. German player Anton, with AK against Wakil's KJ, probably felt a bit unlucky, accepting fourth place and no envelope.

For Punsri, reaching the final table of the Triton tournament is almost routine. Although the Thai champion may have to wait for his seventh title, he will at least be back to collect a prize envelope.

Lee won the championship after a thrilling one-on-one match.

The heads-up matchup pitted Lee against Wakil – the undisputed star of the day against one of the chip leaders who started the day. Wakil held a commanding 4:1 lead and was poised to join the race to win his first Triton title in the Jeju Super High Roller Series.

However, Lee made some early successes, winning a 36-big-blind pot with pocket sixes to nearly tie the game. He then took the lead for the first time when his 8♠4♥ came in pairs on the turn.

From then on, the pendulum swung back and forth for a long time, with the two players taking turns leading, but neither could establish a decisive advantage. Eventually, Lee gradually gained the lead, making a flush on the turn to take a 2-1 advantage. In the final hand, his J-10 hit a 10 on the flop, delivering a fatal blow to Wakil's A-6.

Lee won his fourth Triton title and earned $619,000 on the tour, with his total prize money to be revealed on Friday.
