Dany Tang, five-time Triton title holder and recent recipient of the Ivan Leow Player of the Year award for Season 3, has joined as the ambassador for the Triton Poker Series. Triton Poker announced the news via an X (Twitter) post: “We’re proud to welcome Danny Tang as the newest ambassador for the Triton Poker Series!”
The highly talented poker pro has $29.5 million in live career earnings and ranks 1st on Hong Kong’s all-time money list. Tang has been competing in the Triton Poker High Rollers since 2019. He has cashed in 40 events, earning almost $18.6 million, and five Triton titles under his belt. Tang began his career by playing low-stakes and mid-stakes poker tournaments, but he slowly and steadily moved to high stakes to become one of the emerging high-stakes stars.
Earlier this month, Triton awarded Danny Tang the Ivan Lwoe Player of the Year Award for his terrific performance in Season 3 of the Triton Poker series. Tang in that season cashed 19 Triton events, 13 of them were final table finishes, and scored two Triton titles. He outlasted the ten-time Triton title holder and his fellow Triton team pro Jason Koon by just 352 points to take the Ivan Leow Award.
Sharing his happiness, Tang said, “Words can not describe how honoured I am to be representing this spectacular brand.” Tang revealed this was like him signing for the football team Real Madrid, “As a long-time football fan, this is like signing for Real Madrid. The best of the best.”
The five-time triton title victory is just the tip of the iceberg of what Tang has achieved. He also holds one World Series of Poker gold bracelet for his victory in the 2019 $50,000 WSOP NLHE High Roller for a staggering $1.6 million. Tang also came close to scoring his second bracelet during the 55th Annual WSOP but finished in 2nd place for $a 1.4 million payday in Event #79: $50k PLO High Roller.
