Michael Watson Wins Sixth Triton Poker Title in Montenegro


Michael Watson made history by winning his sixth Triton Poker title in the $30,000 no-limit hold’em turbo event at the 2026 Triton Super High Roller Series Montenegro. This victory places him among the elite, tying with Matthias Eibinger and Punnat Punsri for second on the tour’s title leaderboard.

Watson’s triumph came after a intense battle against a field of 84 entries. He emerged as the last player standing, earning a substantial $659,000 prize. This win also secured him 672 Card Player Player of the Year points, significantly boosting his standing in the yearlong competition.

The final table saw some notable performances. Mehdi Chaoui finished in second place, earning $450,000. Anatoly Zlotnikov secured third place with $299,000. Tom Fuchs took fourth place, earning $241,000. Samuel Mullur finished fifth with $193,000.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
