Wai Kiat Lee Claims Fourth Triton Title After Dramatic Jeju $40K Mystery Bounty

Wai Kiat Lee captured his fourth Triton Poker title at the Jeju $40K NLH Mystery Bounty event, outlasting the field after a critical four-way all-in saw Phil Ivey exit just short of the final table. Ivey, searching for another major final table after 11 WSOP bracelets, was part of a massive pot led by Lee, who then dominated the closing stages and ultimately defeated Jamil Wakil heads-up for the trophy.

Phil Ivey Misses Triton Final Table in Wild Four-Way All-In

Phil Ivey’s run in Jeju ended during an intense hand with four players all-in before the final table was set. Blinds at 40K/80K/80K created a high-pressure spot:

• Seth Davies went all-in for 205,000 from under the gun.
• Samuel Mullur, with a 2.1 million stack, shoved from the cutoff.
• Ivey called with his remaining chips behind, leaving just 900,000.

Lee, holding pocket aces in the big blind, covered all three and moved in for 4,095,000. Ivey committed the rest of his chips. With Lee having the pre-flop nuts, Ivey’s actual equity stood at just 9%, Mullur at 8%, and Davies dead to a chop. The runout granted Lee three immediate bounties and control of over half the chips in play, and the tournament field shrank to eight. Ivey, Davies and Mullur were eliminated in one blow, with Lee consolidating a decisive lead.

Wai Kiat Lee Surges After Eliminating David Coleman on Bubble

David Coleman was the last to bust before the official Triton Jeju $40K Mystery Bounty final table. On the bubble, Lee's two-pair on the turn proved decisive. Facing Lee’s aggression, Coleman held top pair but had only two-thirds pot remaining. The river delivered a board that gave Lee the best hand, and Coleman’s elimination pushed Lee into a clear leadership position with the final eight set.

As per event updates, Lee's victory handed him three bounties from the four-way all-in and accelerated his path to the latter stages.

Joe Hindry Makes Another Deep Run at Triton Poker

British professional Joe Hindry added to his burgeoning resume with a seventh-place finish. Having never cashed in an event above £2,000 pre-2024, Hindry broke through at the 2024, 2025, and 2026 World Series of Poker Main Events, including a 237th-place finish in 2024. His career-best result came at the 2025 Commerce Classic, where he placed second for $219,830. At Jeju, Hindry earned $105,000 for his efforts after losing with AJ against Jamil Wakil’s AK. In his first Triton Poker appearance, Hindry previously placed sixth in the $25K event for $250,000.

Wakil Dominates But Lee Completes the Comeback for Title

Heading into four-handed play, Jamil Wakil moved into a dominant position, aggressively leveraging his massive stack. During another pivotal hand, Wakil shoved from the cutoff, triggering a three-player showdown. Punnat Punsri called all-in with a short stack, and Alex Anton re-jammed from the small blind. The flop gave Wakil two pair, nearly eliminating Punsri. The turn provided outs, but the river confirmed Wakil’s two bounties and positioned him with 22.2 million chips (89 big blinds) to Lee’s 4.4 million.

Lee faced long odds at the beginning of heads-up play, but quickly doubled up with pocket sixes against Wakil’s dominated hand. After nearly two hours of back-and-forth, Wakil jammed 5.1 million with king-jack; Lee called with ace-ten and a ten on the flop secured the title. Lee’s victory marked his fourth career Triton Poker win, reinforcing his reputation among the elite high rollers.
