Alex Anton: WSOP Bracelet Winner and Triton Poker Champion
POKER HALL OF FAME
Inducted 2014
Alex Anton emerged as one of the breakout American tournament players of 2026, winning his first World Series of Poker bracelet and following it less than three months later with his first Triton Poker title. The Miami-based professional has built most of his recorded live tournament résumé since 2022, with his strongest results coming in no-limit hold'em events ranging from regional high rollers to some of the game's most competitive international fields.
As of September 2026, Hendon Mob lists Anton with more than $3 million in live tournament earnings and a career-best cash of $678,300. His rise has been especially concentrated in 2025 and 2026, a period that produced victories at Seminole Hard Rock, a WSOP bracelet and a Triton Super High Roller Series title.
⠀
Who Is Alex Anton?
Alex Anton is an American professional poker player from Miami, Florida. His recorded live results date to 2022, and his tournament history is dominated by no-limit hold'em.
Anton began attracting wider attention during 2025 with a series of substantial tournament scores. He won a $10,000 buy-in no-limit hold'em event at the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open in August for $288,000, then added another six-figure victory later that year at the WPT Bay 101 Shooting Star festival.
Those performances helped establish Anton as a player capable of competing successfully in higher buy-in fields, but 2026 marked a much larger step in his career.
⠀
Alex Anton's Rise in Tournament Poker
Anton entered 2026 with significant results already on his résumé and quickly added more.
At the 2026 World Series of Poker Europe, he finished fourth in the €20,800 Super High Roller, recording one of the largest scores of his career at the time. Later in April, he won a $5,000 Deep Stack Eight-Handed event during the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown for $103,189 after also finishing fourth in a $10,000 six-max event at the same festival.
Those results continued a pattern visible throughout Anton's career: most of his strongest finishes have come in no-limit hold'em tournaments, including deep-stack events, high rollers and faster structures.
His biggest breakthrough arrived during the summer in Las Vegas.
⠀
First WSOP Bracelet in the 2026 Mystery Bounty
Anton won his first World Series of Poker bracelet on June 19, 2026, in Event #51: $10,000 Mystery Bounty No-Limit Hold'em.
According to the official WSOP results, the tournament drew 558 entries and generated a $3,515,400 prize pool. Anton earned $678,300 for first place, defeating Julien Sitbon heads-up after reaching a final table that also included Josh Reichard.
The $678,300 payout remains Anton's largest recorded live tournament cash as of September 2026.
The victory also gave him his first WSOP bracelet. The WSOP player database lists Anton with one bracelet and no WSOP Circuit rings as of September 28, 2026.
For a player whose first recorded Hendon Mob cash came only a few years earlier, winning a $10,000 WSOP event represented a major acceleration in his career. The result moved Anton from a developing high-stakes tournament player into the group of active bracelet winners competing regularly in major events.
⠀
Alex Anton Wins His First Triton Poker Title
Anton added another major title in September 2026 at the Triton Poker Super High Roller Series Jeju II in South Korea.
His week began with an 18th-place finish in the $25,000 8-Handed event for $41,000. He then finished third in the $40,000 Mystery Bounty event for $279,000.
On September 11, Anton converted that momentum into his first Triton Poker victory.
He defeated a 70-entry field in the $30,000 No-Limit Hold'em Turbo, earning $577,000. The official Triton Poker report identified it as Anton's first Triton title.
The final table included several established high-stakes professionals, and Anton defeated Artur Martirosian heads-up to secure the trophy.
The $577,000 payday became the second-largest recorded live cash of Anton's career behind his WSOP bracelet victory.

⠀
What Type of Poker Does Alex Anton Play?
Anton's documented tournament résumé is centered overwhelmingly on no-limit hold'em.
His major victories have come across several versions of the format, including mystery bounty tournaments, deep-stack events, eight-handed tournaments and turbo structures. He has also moved successfully from regional and national tournament stops into WSOP championship events and Triton's super high roller environment.
That body of results supports describing Anton primarily as a no-limit hold'em tournament specialist rather than assigning a more subjective playing-style label.
His results also show an increasing willingness to compete at high buy-ins. By September 2026, Anton had recorded significant finishes in events carrying buy-ins of $10,000, $20,000, $25,000, $30,000 and $40,000 or their euro equivalents.
⠀
Career Earnings and Largest Cash
According to Hendon Mob, Anton's recorded live tournament earnings stood at $3,024,721 as of September 28, 2026.
His largest live cash is the $678,300 he earned for winning the 2026 WSOP $10,000 Mystery Bounty.
His first Triton title produced his second-largest score at $577,000. Other major results include approximately $397,000 for fourth place in the 2026 WSOP Europe €20,800 Super High Roller, $288,000 for his 2025 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open victory and $279,000 for third place in the 2026 Triton Jeju II Mystery Bounty.
Because live tournament databases change whenever new results are entered, career earnings should be treated as a dated snapshot rather than a permanent total.
⠀
Why Alex Anton Matters in Poker
Anton's significance is tied largely to the speed of his progression.
His recorded tournament history dates only to 2022, yet by September 2026 he had already won titles on two of poker's most recognizable stages: the World Series of Poker and the Triton Poker Super High Roller Series.
The WSOP bracelet demonstrated that Anton could close a large, prestigious championship event. His subsequent Triton victory showed that the breakthrough was not limited to one tournament or one series.
Winning against established international professionals in high-buy-in fields also expanded his profile beyond the regional American tournament scene where several of his earlier successes occurred.
Anton remains in the early portion of his tournament career compared with many long-established high-stakes professionals, but his 2025-26 results have already created a résumé that includes seven-figure annual earnings, a bracelet and a Triton trophy.
⠀
Alex Anton's Current Poker Status
Anton remained active on the live tournament circuit through September 2026.
His most recent recorded results before September 28 came at Triton Poker Jeju II, where three cashes in five days produced $897,000 in total payouts. That run included his third-place Mystery Bounty finish and $577,000 Turbo victory.
The Global Poker Index listed Anton 81st in its worldwide rankings and 28th in the 2026 Player of the Year standings when checked in late September 2026. Rankings fluctuate as results age and new tournaments are completed.
With a WSOP bracelet, a Triton title and more than $3 million in recorded live earnings, Anton entered the final months of 2026 as an active high-stakes no-limit hold'em tournament player whose most significant career achievements had all come within a relatively short period.
