Which Crusher Leads Triton’s Ivan Leow Player of the Year Race With Days to Go?
Summary
Artur Martirosian sits atop the 2025 Triton Poker Ivan Leow Player of the Year leaderboard with 4,442 points after an exceptional season of 20 cashes on the Triton circuit. Alex Foxen trails in second on 4,022 points, while other elite names — Dan Dvoress, Jesse Lonis and Punnat Punsri — remain in contention. The inaugural Triton One festival expanded the points pool (events $10,000+ counted), and Jun Hao Wu capitalised on that by winning the $15K Triton One High Roller and leading the Jeju II Player of the Festival standings. With the Triton Poker Super High Roller Series Jeju II still under way at Landing Casino, the title — plus a $200,000 prize and the Ivan Leow trophy — is still up for grabs with just days left.

Content Summary
The Ivan Leow Player of the Year award recognises the most consistent performer across Triton events over the calendar year. Martirosian’s season-long consistency — never finishing outside the top four for Player of the Festival points at Monte-Carlo, Jeju and Montenegro — has put him in pole position. Foxen, a multiple Triton champion, remains within striking distance, while a cluster of top pros sit further back but could climb if they score big in Jeju II.
The introduction of Triton One changed the dynamics this year: tournaments with buy-ins of $10,000+ now contribute to the leaderboard, allowing more players to accumulate points. That change helped Jun Hao Wu make a notable move by claiming a major Triton One prize and leading the Jeju II festival standings.
