Kim Wins WPT Global $25,000 Ultimate Slam at Triton Series

Event 1 players created a prize pool of $4,250,000, paying the final 27 players in the two-day kickoff of the Monte Carlo festival. The final table of nine came from nine different countries, a great example of both how popular Triton Super High Roller events are, and the draw of an incredible location such as Monte Carlo.

“With all these great players, it’s possible I could have been coming to Triton for another seven years and not winning one,” Kim told Triton’s Marianela Pereyra after his victory.

The win pushed Kim’s career poker tournament earnings to more than $10 million USD. His career-best score is a 7th-place finish in the 2024 WSOP Main Event, good for $1.5 Million USD.

WPT Global is the new Title Sponsor of the Triton Series, with satellites and online qualifiers coming for future WPT Global Ultimate Slam events,

By giving WPT Global’s users once-in-a lifetime opportunities to qualify into our flagship event, the Triton Poker Super High Roller Series,” said Andy Wong, CEO of Triton Poker Series, “we hope this invites a fresh injection of new players into the arena of ultra high stakes, and that we see new high stakes dreams dealt.”

The very next day saw Kayhan Mokri - the first player on WPT Global to etch his name on the Mike Sexton WPT Champions Cup (via winning our 2023 Fall Festival Championship )- earning $1 Million by winning Event 2 at the festival, the $30,000 entry 8-Max.
