Freerolls to Win a $25K Triton Ticket
After partnering up with the Triton Poker Series for the Montenegro stopover, we aren’t slowing down.
Now CoinPoker is sending one lucky player on the Road to Triton with a $25,000 ticket to the Jeju Super High Roller event.
To sweeten the pot, round-trip business class flights and a luxurious 5-star hotel stay are included.
May 13 to June 17, follow the steps below to secure your seat in the world’s most prestigious poker tournament series.
1. Be a CoinPoker Player
Register your new CoinPoker account and enter code TRITON in the Code field. This is one way to start playing for the $25,000 Triton ticket.
If you already have an account, there’s still a simple way to win this ticket and play in Jeju. It won’t cost you anything either.
We’ll explain how in the next step.
2. Play Poker
Play 50 real money cash game hands or enter one tournament each week. Once you do, your ticket to a Sunday Qualifier tournament is secured.
If you didn’t register with the TRITON code, just enter Road to Triton Daily Freerolls running four times each day. Win one, and your Sunday Qualifier ticket will be awarded.
3. Win Your Triton Seat
Win a Sunday Qualifier (one of five from May 17 to June 14) to reach the Road To Triton Final Table on June 21.
From the five Sunday Qualifier tournaments, five winners will enter the final winner-takes-all tournament
Each of these players also receives $1,000 Promotional Dollars (P$).
The winner of the Road To Triton Final Table tournament secures the $25,000 Triton Super High Roller seat in Jeju this September.

The Heads Up CGWC Winners
From early April to early May, some of the world’s best players battled one-on-one at $50/$100 stakes.
Over four weeks, players ran through thousands of hands against each other in separate NLHE and PLO matches.
And now, we present the winners of the 2026 Heads Up Cash Game World Championship.
Texas Hold’em Bracket
The Texas Hold’em side was won by SeaLlama, a fearsome and familiar face at the Cash Game World Championship tables. He’ll take $291,594 in match winnings, plus the $100,000 champion’s prize, which includes a Rolex.
Coming in second place for the $50,000 prize is KraciFisk, followed by Jungleman in third, for a $30,000 prize.
Top 3 Players by Match Winnings:
| Player Name | Match Winnings |
|---|---|
| SeaLlama | $291,594.55 |
| Jungleman | $241,675.08 |
| PR0DIGY | $115,556.30 |
Pot Limit Omaha Bracket
The PLO bracket was won decisively by Yodogoki, a well-known CoinPoker regular who will collect $188,354 in match winnings and the $100,000 champion’s prize, which includes a high-end Rolex watch.
Another player we’ve seen battling at the highest online stakes, GucciNIKE, came in second place and will collect the $30,000 cash prize.
Top 3 Players by Match Winnings:
| Player Name | Match Winnings |
|---|---|
| Yodogoki | $188,354.05 |
| DogeCoinMaximaliste | $146,491.45 |
| GucciNIKE | $69,174.27 |
We applaud each of the 20 players who joined the HU CGWC, no matter what position they finished in.
GucciNIKE doesn’t seem to be taking a break, and we saw him score a record-breaking pot over the weekend, filling up against NV22 for a $2,000,000 hand.
They were all-in on the turn.
NV22 held the nut straight from 3 to 7, but with no redraws.
GucciNIKE had middle set, plus a king-high flush draw.
We regularly see pots break the million-dollar mark, but the two-million-dollar mark is more elusive.
Big thank you to @MidwestSlotking, who captured the action and posted it to Twitter (along with some snoring noises in the background).
What Our Players Are Up To
From attempting to explain unbelievable live tournament action to giving the deepest PLO cash game breakdowns, our team is all over the poker world.
Instead of his usual online poker analysis, Bobby James took a look at one of the strangest live hands you’ve ever seen.
This one has it all: Showboating, leveling, and misplaying all in one glorious hand of poker.
Building a bankroll from zero isn’t easy, but it’s much easier when Bencb is the one explaining how to do it.
The first steps are understanding variance, bankroll management, and EV, but Ben quickly shifts to more complex topics.
Brantzen Wong plays $5/$5/$10 in a California casino and walks us through his live cash game strategy.
Hear his thoughts and see how he plays the occasional bomb pot.
Abby Merk talks about dealing with imposter syndrome and struggling with a cash game downswing at $1/$3.
In a world where content creators rarely show the darker side, you’ll probably enjoy this honesty.
JNandez took a deep look at the Pot Limit Omaha finals of the Heads Up CGWC between GucciNIKE and Yodogoki.
For a couple of hours, Fernando gives expert analysis and runs hands through the solver to show a high-level strategy.

CoinMasters has entered a new chapter after ggggUnit won their 6th Coin in the $25 CoinMasters LATAM – SHIBA event.

The board ran out clean for the suited Ace-5, and ggggUnit won the event, forming the first collection of six unique Coins ever.
We’ve now given out over 1,230 CoinMasters silver and gold-plated coins.
