Triton Jeju Approaches With Jason Koon Ahead on the Cashes Table

Jason Koon sits at the top of Triton’s all-time cashes list ahead of the series’ return to Jeju. Stephen Chidwick is second with 77 cashes, while Daniel Dvoress and Isaac Haxton share third place with 76 each. Danny Tang completes the top five with 70.

The Jeju stop is scheduled to begin on September 4 at Les A Casino and run through September 17. The festival is set to feature 14 events, giving the leading players another opportunity to add to their totals.

Koon’s record includes 12 Triton titles

Koon’s 81 cashes are supported by 12 Triton titles and $40,914,284 in earnings. His latest title came in a $30,000 pot-limit Omaha turbo bounty event at the 2025 Montenegro stop.

Among the ten players listed in the standings, Koon also has the highest conversion rate from cashes into titles at 14.8 percent. That figure separates his record from a simple measure of repeated deep finishes, although cashes and titles track different aspects of tournament performance.

Chidwick has three titles from 77 cashes and $34,318,106 in earnings. His most recent Triton victory came at the previous Jeju stop, where he won the $200,000 invitational for $3.4 million.

Dvoress and Haxton remain tied for third

Dvoress and Haxton are separated from Chidwick by only one cash. Dvoress has 76 cashes, six titles, and $33,179,482 in earnings. Four of his six Triton titles came during the current year, including three at the Montenegro stop.

Haxton also has 76 cashes, but his title total is one. He won that event in 2025, taking down a $100,000 pot-limit Omaha tournament at Jeju for nearly $2.8 million. The different title counts between the two players illustrate how the cashes table does not follow the same order as the title or earnings lists.

Tang ranks fifth with 70 cashes, six titles, and $31,177,454 in earnings. Five of those six titles came during 2023, while his latest victory was in the $100,000 main event in Montenegro earlier in the current year.

The remaining players in the top ten

Paul Phua occupies sixth place with 60 cashes, two titles, and $26,589,082 in earnings. Mikita Badziakouski is seventh with 59 cashes, five titles, and $32,312,817.

Kiat Lee ranks eighth with 57 cashes, three titles, and $23,067,729. Artur Martirosian is ninth with 55 cashes, five titles, and $15,525,900. Punnat Punsri completes the top ten with 53 cashes, six titles, and $29,324,130.

The spread at the top remains narrow after Koon and Chidwick. Dvoress and Haxton are each within five cashes of the lead, while Tang is 11 behind Koon. The Jeju schedule could therefore affect several positions among the leading group as the series moves through its 14 events.

Why cashes and earnings produce different rankings

Bryn Kenney provides the clearest contrast between the two measures. Kenney is identified as Triton’s highest earner, with more than $51.2 million from 26 cashes and five wins, yet he ranks outside the top ten in cashes.

His Triton results include a $20.6 million payout for finishing runner-up in the £1,050,000 Triton Millions charity invitational. That result has a substantial effect on his earnings total without adding a title, and his 26 cashes are well below the totals posted by the players at the top of the cashes standings.

For the players near the top of the cashes list, the Jeju festival presents a direct chance to extend their totals. Chidwick returns as the previous Jeju winner in the $200,000 invitational, while Koon enters the stop with the four-cash advantage.

Jeju could reshape the upper standings

The leaderboard offers a limited strategic conclusion because it records outcomes rather than individual hand decisions. Koon’s lead reflects sustained in-the-money finishes across Triton’s events, while the title and earnings figures show that the same number of cashes can produce very different tournament records.

That distinction will matter during a 14-event schedule. A cash can move a player closer to the lead, but the title totals and prize figures show why leaderboard position depends on which measure is being used.
