TRITON POKER SERIES JEJU 2025 : Tan Xuan retains his Short Deck title

2025-03-15 - RICHARD Fabien

In the face of fierce competition, Tan Xuan pulled off the feat and brilliantly defended his Short Deck title, winning his third Triton trophy in the process.

From the very first hands, the tone was set: a high-level field, staggering pots, and intensity at its peak. The greatest Short Deck specialists gathered in Jeju, all aiming to dethrone the reigning champion. But Tan Xuan, in imperial form, accomplished the feat of defending his crown, once again proving that he is one of the absolute masters of this format.

Tan Xuan, a champion who asserts his dominance

The tournament brought together an ultra-competitive field, featuring the best high rollers on the circuit. With explosive confrontations and the ever-present variance of Short Deck, every decision carried significant weight. Tan Xuan, staying true to his aggressive yet precise style, navigated through the chaos of this prestigious event to claim his third Triton title.

During the final table, the spectacle was total. With audacious hero calls, surgical bluffs, and high-intensity all-ins, spectators witnessed a true battle of titans. Xuan had to outmaneuver his opponents, display an elite level of game-reading, and remain unshaken under pressure to seize the coveted trophy.

This victory is not just another title in his career; it is also a symbol of dominance. By successfully defending his title, Tan Xuan joins the exclusive group of players who have left their mark on Short Deck history. His name is now cemented among the legends of the Triton circuit—an achievement only a few players can claim.

As the Triton Poker Series continues to crown the greatest champions, one question remains: who can stop Tan Xuan? For now, the Short Deck master savors his triumph and further strengthens his reign over this spectacular format.
