Tang`s recent run of four victories during the 2023 Triton Poker season truly demonstrates his exceptional skill at the highest levels of competition. This outstanding performance earned him the coveted Ivan Leow Player of the Year Award for Season 3, an honour he achieved by surpassing ten-time Triton champion and fellow ambassador Jason Koon by an astounding 352 points. Tang’s exceptional season included an impressive 19 cashes, 13 final tables, and two titles across four Triton stops.

Tang, expressing his enthusiasm for his new role, compared the opportunity to “signing for Real Madrid,” a clear indication of how highly he regards the Triton Poker Series. “I am incredibly honoured to represent this amazing brand,” he said, sharing his gratitude and excitement for what lies ahead.

Very special day for me to be announced as Triton Poker ‘s official ambassador. Words can not describe how honoured I am to be representing this spectacular brand.
As a long time football fan, this is like signing for Real Madrid. The best of the best 💪 https://t.co/DThcHP4jgX

Danny Tang: A Journey of Determination and Excellence

Tang’s poker journey is nothing short of inspiring. He began his career competing in low and mid-stakes tournaments, steadily working his way up the ranks and demonstrating not only his natural talent but also an unwavering commitment to perfecting his game. His over $29.50 Million in live career earnings puts him at the top of Hong Kong’s all-time money list, more than $5 Million ahead of his nearest competitor, Elton Tsang – a true reflection of his consistent excellence, especially at the highest stakes.

While his Triton titles are a major part of his poker legacy, Tang’s achievements go beyond Triton. In 2019, he won a WSOP gold bracelet in the $50K NLHE High Roller, taking home a whopping $1.60 Million. He almost won a second bracelet in the 2024 WSOP $50K PLO High Roller this summer in Las Vegas, finishing as the runner-up to Daniel Perkusic and adding another $1.4 Million to his winnings.

Honouring a Legacy

Tang’s connection with Triton goes beyond tournaments and titles. As a mentee of the late Ivan Leow, one of Triton’s founders and a strong supporter of up-and-coming poker talent, Tang has a deep personal connection to the brand. His Player of the Year acceptance speech was a heartfelt tribute to Leow, emphasizing his commitment to honouring his mentor’s legacy by excelling in the game he loves.

The Future of Triton and Danny Tang

As Tang embarks on his new journey as a Triton Poker Series ambassador, everyone is eager to see what he does next. Tang’s unique combination of skill, sportsmanship, and humility makes him an ideal representative for the brand. His story serves as an inspiration to aspiring players everywhere, encouraging them to pursue their dreams and strive for greatness in the game.
