Nick Schulman has made history by winning the Triton Jeju Main Event, adding $3.9 million to his earnings. This victory places him at the top of the 2026 Player of the Year standings.
Nick Schulman won the $100,000 buy-in no-limit hold’em main event at the Triton Super High Roller Series Jeju II for $3,854,888. Schulman's overall earnings now sit at over $31.7 million.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
