Mario Mosböck Wins Triton Title #4 in Montenegro
Three years, four titles, and no slowing down.
News
Mario Mosböck has collected another Triton title, bringing his total to four.
The Austrian pro claimed this fourth Triton Poker Super High Roller Series title at Triton Montenegro 2026, beating a 133-entry field in the $30,000 No-Limit Hold’em 8-Handed event.
This was his 25th cash, bringing his total Triton earnings above $16.9 million.
For his efforts, Mario walked away with a $928,000 prize out of a $3,990,000 prize pool.

| 2 | $628,000 | Daniel Tang | Hong Kong |
| 3 | $419,000 | Javid Ismayilov | Azerbaijan |
| 4 | $343,000 | Kristen Foxen | Canada |
| 5 | $275,000 | Patrik Antonius | Finland |

| 7 | $158,000 | Mehdi Chaoui | Morocco |
| 8 | $116,000 | Adrian Mateos | Spain |
| 9 | $93,000 | Eelis Parssinen | Finland |
At the end, the only obstacle between Mosböck and the trophy at the end of an exhausting final table was fellow Triton Ambassador Danny Tang.
Two friends, two champions, one Super High Roller Series trophy.
And as a CoinPoker Ambassador, it couldn’t be more fitting for Mario to win the first-ever CoinPoker-sponsored Triton Series.

Getting to the Final Table
Day 1 saw the legendary Patrik Antonius hold onto the chip lead among the 20 survivors. However, Day 2 wasted no time thinning the herd, and the nine-handed final table was set within 90 minutes.
Things slowed down considerably after that, and a ten-hour war ensued.
Mosböck entered the final table as the chip leader with 5,140,000 (64BB). Tang was close behind at 4,385,000. Kristen Foxen, Javid Ismayilov, and Antonius rounded out the top five stacks.
Eliminations came in waves.
9th Place: Eelis Parssinen fell first in tragic fashion after his pocket jacks were counterfeited by running cards, and the pot went to Ismayilov’s ace-kicker.
8th Place: Adrian Mateos busted from the Super High Roller tournament with a slightly more classic hand match-up, losing a coin flip with fours against Tang’s ace-queen.
7th Place: Mehdi Chaoui (the youngest Triton champion in history) bowed out when Mosböck’s flopped king-queen outran his ace-high.
6th Place: Danilo Velasevic, appearing in his second final table of the series, put it all on the line with King-four, but his opponent found a queen on the flop.
5th Place: Antonius, despite his strong day one performance, couldn’t find the cards when it mattered and left the table when his pocket eights ran into Ismayilov’s pocket tens.
That left Ismayilov, Foxen, Tang, and Mosböck playing for the title and a nearly million-dollar first-place prize.
Down to an Epic Four-Handed Battle
Foxen and Tang traded blows in consecutive hands, as if the poker gods wanted to see one of them depart the Triton tournament.
Foxen showed a flopped full house with king-six and bet three streets, but Tang declined to call her river bet. Tang then doubled her up with tens against his ace-six, leaving him a meagre 6BB chip stack. But Tang wasn’t done, and fought back with consecutive doubles of his own.
Mosböck then had a very close call in a brutal three-way pot. His pocket tens lost to Foxen’s jacks, while Ismayilov scooped a side pot with a rivered ace.
4th Place: Foxen’s tournament run came to an end when Mosböck’s ace-ten held against her king-seven.
The $343,000 fourth-place payout put Foxen past Sosia Jiang to become the highest-earning female player in Triton Series history.
3rd Place: Ismayilov was next to stand up from the table, after he put his pocket threes in against Tang’s aces in third place.
Heads Up Against Danny Tang
Tang carried a 31-to-23 blind advantage into the heads-up, and he used it early by winning six of the opening seven hands. He forced Mosböck down to just eight big blinds. With everything at risk, Mosböck shoved with king-three, Tang called with king-nine, and the flop brought threes. He was still alive.
What followed was a lengthy battle with the lead exchanging hands across multiple blind levels. Neither player was willing to cede ground cheaply.
The hand that decided it came when Danny and Mario’s stacks were nearly even.
Tang jammed from the small blind with king-five; Mosböck called with queen-jack.
A king-two-ace flop and a king on the turn left Mosböck drawing dead to anything but a ten.
A ten arrived on the river, completing his straight and sending the chips flooding to his side of the table.
Tang extended the drama with two more double-ups (with jacks then tens).
Then, the final hand closed out the event.
After shoving preflop, Tang flopped top pair with Q♣ 6♠ against Mosböck’s T♠ T♥.
On the J♣ Q♠ 4♣ board, any poker player with pocket tens could have seen some backdoor potential.
The turn brought the 9♠ to keep Mario’s dream alive. “Oh yeah!” he said, hopefully.
The river brought the 8♥, making it real. With a straight, Mario had won his fourth Triton title.
Three Years and Four Titles
“You’re on such a high during the play,” Mosböck said afterward. “It’s hard to get the emotions out, especially with so many crazy run-outs. I feel incredible.”
In three years on the Triton circuit, the Austrian has accumulated four titles, tying him with other professionals like Dan Dvoress, Ben Tollerene, Alex Foxen, and Jesse Lonis.
After the win, Mario talked about what it was like to face off with Tang:
“I had an absolute blast playing against Danny.
He’s one of the best players to ever do it, and an absolute legend of a guy.”
Tang, who fell one win short of joining a very exclusive group of six-time Triton champions, still took home $628,000 for his runner-up finish.
It’s tough to feel too bad for someone who walked away from the event with more than half a million as a consolation prize!
