Adrian Mateos, a 31-year-old Spanish poker player, won the $200,000 Triton Invitational at the 2026 Triton Super High Roller Series Montenegro presented by CoinPoker. He defeated a record field of 137 entries and earned $6,370,000 as the last player standing from the largest Triton Invitational field in history. The victory marked his fourth multi-million-dollar score and moved his lifetime earnings to nearly $64.8 million, placing him seventh on poker’s all-time money list. Mateos also extended his lead on Spain’s national money list to more than $38.3 million ahead of Sergio Aido. He secured his third trident trophy after winning two titles in 2024. The win was not wire-to-wire; he was down to two outs with eight players remaining and spiked an ace on the river to stay alive.
"Mateos' latest triumph saw him defeat a record field of 137 entries in the $200,000 Triton Invitational at the 2026 Triton Super High Roller Series Montenegro presented by CoinPoker. The Madrid native earned a staggering $6,370,000 as the last player standing from the largest field in Triton Invitational history."
"This was the fourth multi-million-dollar score of Mateos' career. As a result, his lifetime haul is now approaching $64.8 million, which puts him seventh on poker's all-time money list. Mateos was already the runaway leader on Spain's national money list. This latest massive win put him over $38.3 million ahead of second-ranked Sergio Aido ($26.4 million)."
"In addition to the money, Mateos also secured his third trident trophy. He won two titles in 2024, taking down a $30,000 buy-in at the Jeju stop before winning a $50,000 event at this same venue, the Maestral Resort Casino in Sveti Stefan Budva, Montenegro."
"This was not a wire-to-wire win for Mateos. In fact, he was down to two outs with eight players remaining, and wound up spiking an ace on the river to keep his chances alive, and ultimately led to this momentous victory."
