Khoa Anh Ngo has already carved out a unique place in Triton Poker history as the tour’s only two-time Triton ONE champion. Now he’s added a Super High Roller title to that résumé, along with a $1,090,000 payday.
The Vietnamese pro won the $25K NLH Titi Poker event at the Triton Super High Roller Series in Jeju II, beating Russia’s Anatoly Filatov heads-up for his third career Triton title. It’s the latest breakout storyline from a festival that has produced several first-time winners.
Speaking with PokerNews afterward, Ngo credited his back-to-back Triton ONE wins with giving him the confidence to step up in stakes. He described his Triton ONE success as building his belief that he could compete in the Super High Roller Series as well.

A Confident Closer
Heads-up against Filatov, Ngo said he felt sure of his chances once his opponent declined a proposed ICM deal, noting that poker’s inherent variance made a deal appealing to him, though he respected his opponent’s choice to play on.
Ngo’s poker career began during the COVID-19 pandemic, and he says even he’s been surprised by how quickly he’s risen through the ranks. He described his outlook as one of continuous improvement, taking things step by step rather than dwelling on where he might end up.
Final Table Recap
Six players returned for the last day of play, each guaranteed at least $250,000. Americans David Coleman and Isaac Haxton — both past Super High Roller Series winners — started the day with the largest stacks, trailed by former Jeju champions Aren Bezhanyan and Filatov. Ngo and Joe Hindry began the day as the short stacks with the least experience at this level.
That changed fast. Early on, Ngo doubled through Coleman when his pocket aces held against king-jack, kickstarting a run that carried him through the rest of the final table. Filatov eliminated Hindry in sixth, then Coleman fell in fifth to Bezhanyan, handing Ngo a commanding stack.
Ngo then eliminated Bezhanyan in a dramatic pot, turning a flush with suited jack-nine to beat pocket queens. Haxton went out next in a race against Ngo’s ace-seven, which paired on the flop to beat ace-five, setting up a Ngo-Filatov heads-up battle.
The two discussed a deal with help from Triton’s Senior Director of Live Events, Luca Vivaldi, but couldn’t reach terms and played it out. Ngo, holding the chip lead entering heads-up play, extended his advantage with a big pot won with nine-three suited against Filatov — who had been chasing back-to-back titles in the event. In the final hand, both players flopped two eights, got the money in postflop, and Ngo’s two pair sealed the win.
The victory makes Ngo the second-most successful Vietnamese player in poker history and just the second player ever to win titles on both Triton ONE and the Super High Roller Series.
