Paul Phua
Miri, Sarawak, Malaysia
Paul Phua is the founder of the Triton Super High Roller Series and, with almost $38.9 million in live earnings, the leading Malaysian on the all-time money list and 27th in the world. In March 2026 he won the $150,000 Triton 10th Anniversary Special for $3,226,000, his biggest cash. He was runner-up in the £100,000 Triton London Main Event in 2019 for $3.11 million and second in the HK$1,000,000 Short Deck Main Event at Triton Montenegro the same year. Short deck hold'em, which he championed, remains his strongest game. He plays a comparatively small number of events, almost all of them at the very highest stakes.
