Richard Gryko and Jason Koon were the final two players in a $75,000 PLO six-max event with 59 entries at the 2026 Triton Super High Roller Series Montenegro. Gryko entered heads-up with a chance to add another Triton title, while Koon held the lead at the start of the final battle. Gryko ultimately won the event, earning $1,243,000 and his second Triton title. The prize pool reached $4,425,000, and the money bubble lasted several hours. During the bubble, Koon executed a major bluff using key blockers, forcing Gryko to fold a full house on the river, which helped Koon become chip leader and drive aggression for much of the bubble period.
"Koon and UK pot-limit Omaha specialist Richard Gryko were the only two remaining from a field of 59 entries in the $75,000 PLO six-max event at the 2026 Triton Super High Roller Series Montenegro presented by CoinPoker. While Koon came into the final battle with the lead, it was ultimately Gryko who emerged victorious this time around. The 41-year-old secured $1,243,000 and his second Triton title as the champion."
"This fell just shy of a new top score for Gryko. His largest payday remains the $1,270,000 he earned with a runner-up finish in a $100,000 PLO event at this year's Triton Jeju festival. With this latest victory, Gryko's earnings now sit at just shy of $10 million."
""What keeps me coming back is it's just so much fun, apart from anything else," Gryko told Triton staff after this triumph. "You try and make money obviously, but it's just so much fun to be in these rooms with these people and play this game.""
"The solid turnout to Maestral Resort & Casino for this event created a prize pool of $4,425,000. Registration closed at the start of the second and final day, and not long after that the money bubble arrived. It would take several hours for said bubble to burst. During that time, Koon pulled off a huge bluff with key blockers, forcing Gryko off of a full house on the river. That coup helped establish Koon as the chip leader and primary aggressor for much of the lengthy bubble period."
