Ketola Wins Record $11 Million Televised Pot in Triton Jeju Heads-Up Clash

The pot capped a three-night Jeju series with escalating buy-ins after Ketola fell $9 million behind.

Overview

  • Ossi 'Monarch' Ketola scooped a roughly $10.99 million pot against Alex Foxen at Triton Poker Series Jeju II, widely reported as the largest ever shown on a televised poker stream.
  • In the decisive hand, Ketola held K♣J♥ versus Foxen’s 8♦6♦ on a K♦ J♦ 8♣, A♦, K♠ runout, rivering a full house after Foxen made a diamond flush on the turn.
  • Action built across consecutive sessions that started with $2 million buy-ins, then $5 million, then $6 million each, as Foxen amassed a big lead before Ketola’s late surge.
  • YouTube removed Triton’s livestream for Community Guidelines reasons before the record hand, and viewers followed the match on Kick and Twitch.
  • Ketola’s comeback followed recent setbacks that include a reported $15 million loss to Dan 'Jungleman' Cates in Cyprus and about $6 million to Wiktor 'Limitless' Malinowski, with talk of a Foxen rematch described as uncertain.
