Nick Schulman Wins Triton Jeju Main Event, Secures $3.9 Million


Nick Schulman has made history by winning the Triton Jeju Main Event, adding $3.9 million to his earnings. This victory places him at the top of the 2026 Player of the Year standings.

Nick Schulman won the $100,000 buy-in no-limit hold’em main event at the Triton Super High Roller Series Jeju II for $3,854,888. Schulman's overall earnings now sit at over $31.7 million. Schulman secured 1,680 Card Player Player of the Year points with this win in Jeju, moving him into the outright lead in the 2026 POY standings. Schulman has cashed for over $6.2 million across his baker’s dozen final-table appearances this year.

Bernhard Binder, who ultimately finished as the runner-up to Schulman in the Triton Jeju main event, earned $3,080,112 and 1,400 POY points for his latest deep run. With 196 entries at $100,000 apiece, the prize pool swelled to $19,600,000.

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.
