The first series under the new Triton ONE brand took place in September 2025, and by the second stage, a player had already managed to win two tournaments at the festival. That player was Ngo Khoa Anh. The Vietnamese poker pro secured the biggest cash and his second cup in the  Triton Cup with a buy-in of $10,000 event in Jeju.

Khoa Anh Ngo First Double Triton One Champion

New hero of Triton Poker

Triton Poker tournaments have been running for more than 10 years, and over that time, many players have captured multiple titles in the series. The record belongs to Jason Koon, who has won 12 trophies.

The new Triton ONE brand launched in 2025, introducing events with lower buy-ins ($2,000–$15,000). These tournaments attract larger fields, making it seem unlikely that anyone would win multiple titles anytime soon.

However, it took only one and a half stages of the new series for the first two-time Triton ONE champion to emerge.

Ngo Khoa Anh won:

  1. Triton ONE NLHE 8-Handed $2K — September 6, 2025 ($58,700)
  2. Triton ONE NLHE 7-Handed $10K — March 11, 2026 ($612,000)

The latest tournament attracted 347 entries, and Ngo secured the biggest cash prize. His previous best result came in November 2025, when he won the WPT Prime Korea for $292,560.

Final table

Ngo started the final table with just 6 BB, and even doubling up in the first hand with pocket kings against Ander Vallinas’ A9 didn’t significantly improve his position.

His next crucial double came with aces against Tan Yisi’s KQ. And only after that, the Vietnamese player became more confident.

By the start of heads-up play, Ngo held 25 blinds to Wang Yang’s 18. In the decisive hand, the Chinese player moved all-in with A3, and Ngo called with A4. The 7-2-3 flop gave Yang hope for a double-up, but the turn completed Ngo’s straight draw.

Final table results:

  1. Khao Anh Ngo (Vietnam) — $612,000
  2. Wang Yang (China) — $388,000
  3. Lin Meng-Ling (Taiwan) — $280,000
  4. Ander Valinas (Spain) — $227,000
  5. Zhou Yinan (China) — $180,000
  6. Yuan Yuilu (China) — $138,000
  7. Tang Yixi (China) — $103,000

Who is Ngo Khao Anh

Ngo Khoa Anh is one of Vietnam's most promising tournament players. He began playing live tournaments in 2022, first at local tournaments and then in other Asian countries.

Over the course of three years, he has cashed nearly 100 times in offline tournaments. His first major victory came in October 2025, when he won the APT High Roller in Jeju Island and earned $185,851.

According to some sources, he built the bulk of his bankroll online during the pandemic.
