Alisson Piekazewicz Wins $40K Triton Mystery Bounty in Jeju, Sets Series Record With Triple Knockout
Brazilian pro Alisson Piekazewicz delivered one of the most dominant final-day performances in Triton Poker Series history on Friday in Jeju, South Korea. He claimed the $40,000 buy-in Mystery Bounty tournament at Les A Casino for a $709,000 first-place prize — and secured 14 sealed bounties worth at least $40,000 each, to be drawn Saturday.
Piekazewicz collected 14 bounties at a $40,000 floor, guaranteeing him at least another $560,000 before a single envelope is opened. His combined payout is likely to exceed $1.2 million — and could go well beyond that, depending on what’s inside.
Triton Poker Series Returns for Its 10th Anniversary Season
The 2026 Triton Poker Super High Roller Series (Triton Poker Series) stop in Jeju is the tour’s biggest to date: 31 events across 28 days, doubling as a 10th-anniversary celebration since the first Triton title was awarded in the Philippines in 2016.
The $40,000 buy-in Mystery Bounty was among the opening headline events of the Super High Roller portion of the schedule. It drew a 160-entry field and built a $3.2 million prize pool, with 27 players returning for a final day that had bounties live on every elimination.

By his own admission, Piekazewicz barely lost a pot all day — and on the rare occasions he did, he immediately won his chips back. He arrived at the final table with close to 200 big blinds and a commanding lead over the rest of the field, having already banked four or five all-in pots before the day’s most spectacular hand took place.
With two tables remaining, Du Qiao open-jammed 9bb from under the gun. Patrik Antonius folded, but Jun Obara — whose victory in last year’s Jeju Mystery Bounty made him the bounty leader heading into this one — re-jammed for 30bb.
Piekazewicz smooth-called, only to see Anatoly Zlotnikov shove his remaining 9 bb into the pot as well.
- Piekazewicz: A♣️A♥️
- Du: T♥️T♦️
- Obara: Q♣️T♣️
- Zlotnikov: Q♠️J♠️.
The board ran 5♥️4♣️5♣️K♠️9♠️, and we had the first triple knockout in Triton Poker Series history.
Apparently unsatisfied with adding three bounties to his total, Piekazewicz knocked out Antonius with jacks over ace-king on the very next deal.
Piekazewicz wasn’t entirely untouchable. In the last few hands before the final table, Wang Ye rivered a flush to double through Piekazewicz’s pocket queens. Piekazewicz had queens again on the very next hand, though, this time against Wang’s tens. The queens held, Wang was eliminated in eighth, and the chip lead was restored.
Heads-up, Piekazewicz held a better than 2-to-1 chip lead over Seth Davies and closed it out holding 2-2 against Davies’ A-K, rivering a straight. He summed up his day simply afterward: “Probably the best tournament I ever had. Even I am surprised.”

Who is Alisson Piekazewicz?
Piekazewicz is a Brazilian professional best known as one of the highest-volume online grinders in the world, playing under the handle heyalisson on PokerStars, with over 5,400 tracked online cashes and $3.9 million in live career earnings heading into this event.
His live record has been building steadily — a European Poker Tour (EPT) Monte Carlo title in May 2025 was his breakthrough, followed by a deep run at Triton Jeju last September. His previous best live cash was $400,000 for an 11th-place finish in the $100K NLH Main Event. Friday’s result nearly doubles that in a single tournament.
What the Win Means for High-Stakes Players and Fans
Results like this illustrate exactly why the Mystery Bounty format has taken over the high-roller circuit. A player can secure the tournament outright and still have a potentially larger financial day waiting in sealed envelopes. Piekazewicz’s 14 bounties guarantee him a minimum total well above the first-place prize alone.
It’s worth noting, too, that Piekazewicz was not a household name outside online poker circles before this week. His combination of deep online experience and a fast-developing live record is the profile the next generation of Triton champions tends to fit — and Friday’s performance puts him firmly on the map.
What’s Next at Triton Jeju and the Road to Montenegro
The bounty draws for Piekazewicz are scheduled for Saturday, March 21. His 14 sealed envelopes will be opened on stream — and given the prize structures Triton operates at, that session has real potential to become a story of its own.
The Super High Roller Series in Jeju continues through April 1, headlined by the $100,000 NLH Main Event (March 24–26). Following Jeju, the Triton Poker Series moves to Budva, Montenegro, for its next stop at the Maestral Resort from May 13–28.
