Yan Jingyao Wins Triton ONE $4,000 Big Bounty for $51,000

Yan Jingyao won the $4,000 NLH 7-Handed Big Bounty at Triton ONE North Cyprus on November 8, beating TJ Reid heads-up to collect $51,000, including $10,000 in bounties. The tournament attracted 96 entries.

The Chinese player had already made eight cashes on the Triton Super High Roller Series in Jeju over the previous two years, including two final-table appearances. This time, he began the seven-handed final table fourth in chips before taking control of the tournament.

Yan Jingyao Moves Into the Lead With Two Knockouts

Zheng Xiaosheng entered the final table with the largest stack at 5,295,000 (66 BB), followed closely by Siegfried Friedl with 5,145,000 (64 BB). Yan started with 1,650,000 (21 BB).

With five players remaining, Yan shoved from the small blind with suited 5-4. Finland's Kalle Parkkinen called with A-9, putting his remaining 13 big blinds at risk. A four on the flop gave Yan the winning hand, eliminating Parkkinen in fifth place for $25,900, including $14,000 in bounties.

Yan knocked out Zheng next. Holding A-8 against Yan's pocket tens, Zheng moved ahead when an ace appeared on the flop. Yan caught a ten on the river to make a set, sending Zheng out in fourth place. Zheng earned $26,800, including $12,000 in bounties.

Yan held the chip lead with three players remaining. Reid then eliminated Friedl in third place, setting up heads-up play against Yan. Friedl collected $30,400, including $12,000 in bounties.

Flopped Flush Seals the Win Against TJ Reid

Yan began heads-up play with 44 big blinds to Reid's 21.

A former poker reporter turned professional player, Reid had earned $3 million at the WSOP Super Main Event in the Bahamas in December 2025. He reached heads-up despite spending much of the Triton ONE final table short-stacked.

The final hand began with Reid holding approximately 16 big blinds. He raised from the small blind with K-J, and Yan defended his big blind with 7-3.

Yan flopped a flush on an A-9-2 board, while Reid held the nut flush draw. Yan checked, Reid made a small bet, and Yan check-raised. Reid moved all-in, and Yan called.

The turn brought a king, followed by a three on the river. Reid failed to complete his flush, and the tournament ended shortly before 1 a.m. local time.

Reid finished runner-up for $36,000, including $8,000 in bounties. He has now cashed in both Triton ONE events he has played.

Yan's winning payout consisted of $41,000 in regular prize money and $10,000 in bounties.
