Jason Koon previously held the all-time Triton Super High Roller Series record with 12 wins, while the next-best totals stayed at five or fewer. Punnat Punsri reached six wins in March, and Matthias Eibinger matched him two days later in Jeju, South Korea. During the Triton Montenegro festival, Michael Watson passed both players within four days and moved into sole second place. Four days after his sixth Triton win, Watson captured the $50,000 Quattro Bounty turbo title in a $30,000 no-limit hold’em turbo event. He earned $621,000, including a $381,000 first prize and four $60,000 bounties, defeating a highly stacked final table featuring Koon, Alex Foxen, Artur Martirosian, Linus Loeliger, and Anatoly Zlotnikov.
"Jason Koon held the all-time record for most Triton wins, with 12, and the chasing pack had no more than five victories on the tour. That all changed back in March, when Punnat Punsri earned his sixth Triton victory, and then Matthias Eibinger repeated the feat two days later in Jeju, South Korea."
"In a matter of four days of action at the Triton Super High Roller Series Montenegro presented by CoinPoker, Michael Watson passed Punsri and Eibinger to stand alone in second place. Four days after his sixth Triton win, in a $30,000 no-limit hold'em turbo event, Watson won a $50,000 Quattro Bounty turbo title to push his career total to seven Triton trophies."
"Watson earned a $621,000 payday, combining a $381,000 first-place prize with four $60,000 bounties. On his way to a seventh Triton win, Watson defeated one of the most stacked final tables in recent tour history, which included Koon, four-time Triton champions Alex Foxen and Artur Martirosian, and previous Triton winners Linus Loeliger and Anatoly Zlotnikov."
""I don't think Jason is going to feel me breathing down his neck or anything, just quite yet," told Triton media shortly after his win. "But being second alone is pretty incredible. So I'm really thrilled to have that on my resume right now.""
