Wai Kiat Lee has extended his hot streak on the Triton tour, winning the $40,000 NLH Mystery Bounty event at the Super High Roller Series in Jeju II. The Malaysian earned $619,000 and eight bounty envelopes, defeating Canada’s Jamil Wakil heads-up after erasing a large chip deficit.
It marked Lee’s fourth career Triton title and second of 2026. Speaking after the win, he credited Triton founder Paul Phua for shaping his career, calling the tour “like home” and crediting the support of his rail for pushing him to perform.
The final day began with 33 players, led by Kayhan Mokri. Christoph Vogelsang, last year’s $100K Main Event winner here, exited on the money bubble after his pocket tens lost to queens.
Lee’s run turned dramatic when he flopped a monster with pocket aces and knocked out Seth Davies, Phil Ivey, and Samuel Mullur in a single all-in preflop hand, collecting three bounty envelopes and taking control of the chip lead heading into the eight-handed final table.
The action stayed fast-paced, with Mokri scoring his own triple knockout before falling in sixth, and Wakil later executing a double elimination of his own. Joe Hindry, Sirzat Hissou, and Punnat Punsri also made deep runs before Lee and Wakil reached heads-up play, with Wakil holding a more than 4:1 chip lead.
Lee clawed back through key pots, including a turned flush, before sealing victory when his jack-ten flopped a ten against Wakil’s ace-six. The bounty prizes for both finalists, who combined for fourteen envelopes, will be revealed at Friday’s ceremony.
