Which Crusher Leads Triton’s Ivan Leow Player of the Year Race With Days to Go?
Summary
Artur Martirosian holds the lead in the 2025 Triton Poker Ivan Leow Player of the Year standings with 4,442 points after an extraordinary run of 20 cashes this year. Alex Foxen is the closest challenger on 4,022 points, while Dan Dvoress, Jesse Lonis and Punnat Punsri round out the top five.
The season was shaken up by the new Triton One festival, which counted $10,000+ buy-in events toward the leaderboard. Singapore’s Jun Hao Wu surged in Jeju by winning the $15K Triton One High Roller and currently tops the Jeju II Player of the Festival standings with 1,121 points. With the Triton Super High Roller Series Jeju II still underway at Landing Casino and just days to go, the Ivan Leow title and its $200,000 prize remain very much up for grabs.

Why should I read this?
If you like high-stakes leaderboard drama, this is the quick lowdown: Martirosian’s been unbelievably consistent, Foxen’s snapping at his heels, and the new Triton One events mean the standings can flip in a hurry. Short version — keep an eye on Jeju if you want to see the title decided in the final days.
Author’s note
Punchy take: Martirosian is the favourite thanks to relentless results, but Triton festivals are brutal and volatile — one big score in Jeju and the crown can change hands. For fans of elite live poker, this is one of the season’s must-watch stories.
