Ngo Khoa Anh won the $25,000 NLH Titi Poker event at Triton Poker Jeju, topping 210 entries for a career-best $1,090,000.
The tournament generated a $5.25 million prize pool, with 34 players finishing in the money. Ngo defeated Anatoly Filatov heads-up, while a stacked final table also included Isaac Haxton, David Coleman and Aren Bezhanyan.
Filatov earned $733,000 as runner-up and Haxton finished third for $515,000.
The victory gives Ngo his first title on the Triton Super High Roller Series after two previous wins on Triton ONE.
Two Triton ONE Titles Before His Jeju Breakthrough
Before this win, Ngo was already the first player to capture two Triton ONE titles, winning in September 2025 and again in March 2026.
Triton ONE is the series' mid-stakes offering, with lower buy-ins than the Super High Roller Series. Ngo said those two victories gave him the confidence to move up and compete against the players he faced in Jeju.
The 34-year-old described this final table as the toughest he had played, with several established high-stakes tournament players still in contention deep into the event.
His win also made him only the second Vietnamese player to capture a Triton title.
David Coleman Starts the Final Table With 122 BB
Ngo reached the nine-handed final table in sixth place with 4.5 million chips, worth 30 big blinds.
David Coleman held a commanding lead after eliminating several players on the way to the final table. He started with 18.25 million chips, or 122 big blinds, almost twice the stack of second-place Isaac Haxton.
The final table began with:
| Player | Chips | Big Blinds |
|---|---|---|
| David Coleman | 18,250,000 | 122 BB |
| Isaac Haxton | 9,450,000 | 63 BB |
| Anatoly Filatov | 4,775,000 | 32 BB |
| Joe Hindry | 4,725,000 | 32 BB |
| Aren Bezhanyan | 4,600,000 | 31 BB |
| Ngo Khoa Anh | 4,500,000 | 30 BB |
| Batmunkh Unubukh | 2,500,000 | 15 BB |
| Chu Chi-Jen | 2,250,000 | 15 BB |
| Thomas Boivin | 1,450,000 | 10 BB |
Thomas Boivin was the first player eliminated, finishing ninth for $111,000.
Aren Bezhanyan then won a race against Batmunkh Unubukh. Unubukh's pocket jacks were ahead of ace-king before a king arrived on the river, sending him out in eighth for $134,000.
Chu Chi-Jen followed in seventh. He moved all-in with ace-deuce against Haxton's pocket nines and paired his ace on the flop, but the river completed a straight for Haxton. Chu collected $184,000.
Six players remained when play stopped for the day.
Ngo Moves Into Contention at Six-Handed Play
Coleman still led when the final six returned, but the field had closed the gap. He had 40 big blinds, followed by Haxton with 37, Bezhanyan with 36 and Filatov with 34.
Ngo returned with 22 big blinds.
Joe Hindry was the first elimination of the day, finishing sixth for $250,000.
Ngo then picked up one of the pots that changed the shape of the final table. Coleman four-bet shoved king-jack into Ngo's pocket aces, giving Ngo a double-up and cutting further into Coleman's former chip lead.
Coleman's stack continued to fall, and Bezhanyan eventually eliminated him in fifth for $330,000.
Bezhanyan later got all-in preflop with ace-king against Haxton's ace-king. Four spades on the board gave Haxton a flush, leaving Bezhanyan with only four big blinds.
Bezhanyan managed to double once before facing Ngo with pocket queens against jack-nine. Ngo made a spade flush to eliminate him in fourth for $417,000.
Ngo entered three-handed play with 52 big blinds, ahead of Haxton's 28 and Filatov's 25.
Haxton Falls in Third
Haxton lost a large pot when his jack-nine ran into Filatov's pocket aces. He recovered some chips shortly afterward but remained the shortest of the three.
A few hands later, Ngo opened the button with ace-seven and Haxton three-bet from the small blind with ace-five. Ngo moved all-in, and Haxton called for his remaining 13 big blinds.
A seven on the flop put Ngo further ahead, and Haxton found no help on the turn or river.
Haxton finished third for $515,000, leaving Ngo and Filatov heads-up.
Ngo began the match with 51 big blinds to Filatov's 37. The two discussed a deal but could not reach an agreement, so play continued.
Ngo Beats Filatov After Eight Heads-Up Hands
The heads-up match lasted only eight hands.
On the final hand, Ngo limped with eight-five and Filatov checked queen-eight. Both players paired the eight on an eight-high flop, with Filatov holding the better kicker.
Filatov checked and Ngo made a small bet. Filatov then moved all-in for 18 big blinds, and Ngo called.
Filatov was ahead on the flop, but a five on the turn gave Ngo two pair. The river changed nothing, securing the title and the $1.09 million first prize.
Filatov earned $733,000 for second place. He also won the Titi Poker last longer, earning a free $25,000 entry to the corresponding event in North Cyprus in November.
