Timothy Adams: WSOP Bracelet Winner and Two-Time Triton Main Event Champion
POKER HALL OF FAME
Inducted 2014
Timothy Adams has built one of the strongest tournament résumés in Canadian poker, combining a World Series of Poker bracelet with victories at some of the most expensive high-roller events in the game.
The Burlington, Ontario, poker professional won his WSOP bracelet in 2012 before becoming a regular in elite international high-roller tournaments. His biggest accomplishments include two Triton Poker Main Event championships and consecutive Super High Roller Bowl victories in Australia and Russia in 2020.
As of August 2026, the PokerNews Timothy Adams player profile lists Adams with $38,911,551 in live tournament earnings, using data provided by The Hendon Mob. That total places him among the most successful Canadian tournament players in poker history.
⠀
Who Is Timothy Adams?
Timothy Adams is a Canadian professional poker player from Burlington, Ontario. He is primarily associated with tournament poker and has competed extensively in the World Series of Poker, European Poker Tour, Triton Poker Series, Super High Roller Bowl and other major international high-stakes events.
Adams was already playing poker seriously while studying business. In its report on his 2012 bracelet victory, the World Series of Poker identified him as a business school graduate from Burlington who had been attending the WSOP for several years before his breakthrough championship.
PokerNews lists Adams' first recorded live tournament cash in 2007, when he finished fifth in a $340 event for $3,765. His results eventually progressed from smaller tournament cashes to regular appearances in six-figure buy-in events against many of the game's most accomplished professionals.
⠀
Timothy Adams' WSOP Bracelet
Adams earned his first and, as of August 2026, only World Series of Poker bracelet during the 2012 WSOP in Las Vegas.
He won the $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em Four-Handed event, defeating a field of 750 entries and collecting $392,476. It was the first four-handed no-limit hold'em bracelet tournament held at the WSOP.
The short-handed format was particularly demanding because only four players competed at each table, creating more frequent blind pressure and requiring players to participate in more pots than they generally would at a full-ring table.
The WSOP described Adams as an experienced online player and short-handed specialist. His victory established him as a bracelet winner before his later rise into poker's highest-stakes tournament circuit.
⠀
Rise Into High-Stakes Tournament Poker
Adams gradually became a fixture in major high-roller and super high-roller tournaments.
By 2016, his results included a third-place finish in the €50,000 Super High Roller at EPT Barcelona for €597,500. Over the following several years, his tournament schedule increasingly centered on events featuring buy-ins of $25,000, $50,000, $100,000 and higher.
That transition ultimately produced a series of seven-figure scores.
Rather than becoming identified with one tournament series, Adams established results across several of the most competitive high-stakes environments in poker. His career includes major victories in Asia, Australia, Russia and the United Kingdom.
⠀
Two Triton Poker Main Event Championships
Two of Adams' defining achievements have come in Triton Poker Main Events.
His first Triton Main Event victory came in Jeju, South Korea, in March 2019. Adams won the HK$2,000,000 buy-in No-Limit Hold'em Main Event, defeating Bryn Kenney heads-up and earning the equivalent of $3,536,550.
Four years later, Adams became a two-time Triton Main Event champion.
At the 2023 Triton Poker Series London festival, he defeated a 151-entry field in the $125,000 No-Limit Hold'em Main Event. The tournament generated an $18,875,000 prize pool, and Adams earned $4,185,000 for first place.
The PokerNews report on Adams' 2023 Triton London victory identified it as his second Triton Main Event title. The final stages included accomplished high-stakes professionals such as Stephen Chidwick, Isaac Haxton, Dan Cates and Doug Polk.
The $4.185 million payday remains Adams' largest recorded live tournament cash as of August 2026.
Winning two Triton Main Events is particularly significant because Triton fields are concentrated with established high-stakes tournament professionals. Adams' victories in 2019 and 2023 also demonstrate that his success at that level was not limited to a single tournament or short period.
⠀
Back-to-Back Super High Roller Bowl Victories
Adams produced another major career milestone in 2020 by winning consecutive Super High Roller Bowl events.
The first came at Super High Roller Bowl Australia in February 2020. Adams defeated a 16-entry field in the A$250,000 event and earned A$2,160,000, approximately $1.45 million at the time.
About a month later, he won again at Super High Roller Bowl Russia. That $250,000 buy-in tournament attracted 40 entries and created a $10 million prize pool.
Adams defeated Christoph Vogelsang heads-up and collected $3.6 million.
The PokerGO Tour's Super High Roller Bowl history recognizes Adams as the champion of both the Australian and Russian editions in 2020. PokerGO also lists him with four Super High Roller Bowl cashes and more than $7 million in earnings from the series.
Winning consecutive Super High Roller Bowls strengthened Adams' reputation as a player capable of succeeding against small fields filled almost entirely with elite professionals.
⠀
Online Poker Career
Adams also built a substantial online poker résumé.
He has competed under the PokerStars screen name "Tim0thee," an identity closely associated with his online career.
One of his most prominent online results came during the 2020 PokerStars EPT Online festival. Adams reached heads-up play in the $5,200 EPT Online Main Event, which attracted 1,304 entries and generated a $6.52 million prize pool.
Adams finished runner-up to Sweden's "WhatIfGod" and received $728,633. The PokerNews EPT Online Main Event coverage documents the result.
His online experience is also relevant to his live career because Adams emerged during a generation in which short-handed online tournament experience increasingly translated to success in aggressive, high-level live events.

Timothy Adams' Live Tournament Earnings
As of August 2026, PokerNews lists Adams with $38,911,551 in live tournament earnings based on The Hendon Mob's tournament database.
Live earnings totals should be treated as changing statistics. They measure recorded tournament cashes rather than a player's actual poker profit because they do not subtract buy-ins, travel costs, staking arrangements, swaps, taxes or other expenses.
Adams' largest recorded live score is the $4,185,000 he earned by winning the 2023 Triton London $125,000 Main Event.
His career also contains several other seven-figure results, including $3.6 million for Super High Roller Bowl Russia, $3,536,550 for his first Triton Main Event championship and approximately $1.45 million for Super High Roller Bowl Australia.
PokerNews currently lists Adams among the leading Canadian players by career live tournament earnings, behind Daniel Negreanu.
⠀
What Is Timothy Adams' Playing Reputation?
Adams is primarily known as a high-stakes tournament professional with extensive experience in short-handed no-limit hold'em.
His record provides objective evidence of that specialization. His WSOP bracelet came in a four-handed tournament, and many of his later appearances have come in high rollers where smaller fields, experienced opponents and aggressive blind structures reward players comfortable with frequent short-handed decisions.
Adams has also shown an ability to succeed across different tournament environments. His major victories have come at the WSOP, Triton Poker and Super High Roller Bowl rather than being concentrated within a single tour.
Descriptions of his personality at the table have often emphasized a comparatively quiet approach rather than a highly theatrical public persona. More important than reputation, however, is the consistency of his tournament record against elite competition.
⠀
Timothy Adams' Recent Poker Results and Current Status
Adams remained active in major international tournaments through at least the end of 2024.
PokerNews records several cashes for him at the 2024 Triton Poker Series Jeju festival, including a sixth-place finish in the $25,000 GGMillion$ Live event for $345,000 and a $151,000 cash in the $100,000 Triton Main Event.
He also recorded multiple results at 2024 WSOP Paradise in the Bahamas. Those included a 29th-place finish in the $100,000 Triton Main Event for $160,000, 20th place in the $50,000 High Roller for $105,370 and a cash in the $25,000 WSOP Super Main Event.
The authoritative databases reviewed for this profile do not establish that Adams has retired from poker. His tournament schedule has historically included periods of concentrated participation in high-stakes festivals, so an absence of newer major recorded cashes should not be interpreted as retirement without reliable confirmation.
As of August 2026, his established career record remains highlighted by one WSOP bracelet, two Triton Main Event championships, consecutive Super High Roller Bowl victories and more than $38.9 million in recorded live earnings.
