Kiat Lee: Four Triton Titles in Two Seasons

Kiat Lee is a Malaysian poker player who won four Triton Poker titles between March 2025 and September 2026. After a long stretch of final tables without a trophy, he won in Jeju, Montenegro and Jeju again. His victories span short deck, a no-limit hold’em turbo and a mystery bounty event.

First Victory and Montenegro Follow-Up

Lee broke through in a $25,000 short-deck event at Triton Jeju in March 2025. The organizer’s report says he had made 17 Triton final tables without winning before defeating Michael Zhang heads-up. The 31-entry event paid $264,000 to the champion.

He followed in Montenegro a few months later with the $30,000 no-limit hold’em turbo. Triton’s account records 71 entries and a $586,000 first-place award. A turbo uses faster blind levels than a standard tournament. The Montenegro win was his second tour title and his first of the four in conventional no-limit hold’em.

Two More Titles in 2026

In March 2026, Lee defeated Paul Phua heads-up in a $50,000 short-deck event at Triton Jeju. The tour report lists 60 entries, a $3 million prize pool and $840,000 for Lee’s third title. It was his second short-deck victory, one year and a day after his first.

His fourth came at Triton Jeju in September 2026, in a $40,000 no-limit hold’em mystery bounty. Triton’s championship story describes his recovery from a short stack near the money bubble and his heads-up victory over Jamil Wakil. In a mystery bounty, elimination prizes are drawn separately from ordinary placement payouts, so the eventual total needs to be distinguished from the base prize.

Triton’s updated champions list confirms all four titles and lists the September bounty-inclusive award separately. Lee’s rapid move from many near misses to four championships is the defining feature of his documented tour record. Tournament prizes are gross awards and do not establish net profit.
