Watson<\/a> is fourth on Canada’s all-time tournament money list. The 42-year-old will most likely hit $40 million in winnings within the year. The $659,000 that came with the Triton trophy didn’t even make his top 10 best cash list. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAny time you get to lift a Triton trophy, it\u2019s definitely meaningful,\u201d Watson said afterwards. \u201cI\u2019m now back in a tie for second in the most Triton trophies, so it\u2019s pretty cool.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has 23 victories in big tourneys since 2009, and is tied with Matthias Eibinger and Punnat Punsri for second on the tour\u2019s title leaderboard. His Triton cashes are worth about $15 million of his lifetime total. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The one-day turbo event in Montenegro attracted 84 entrants. The top nine were paid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canuck’s in control<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Triton Super High Roller Series hit Montenegro May 12 and finishes up May 27. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The opening event was billed as the $25k Golden Decade tournament to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Triton Super High Roller tour. The event brought in 146 entries who built a prize pool worth $3.65 million. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dan Dvoress was the guy who walked away with the trophy and the $849,000 top prize. He pushed his lifetime winnings stack over $50 million. That puts him two in front of Watson for Canadian players. Only Daniel Negreanu<\/a> sits in front of him with $57.6 million. Sam Greenwood is the Canuck in fourth with $34.4 million in tournament cashes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jonathan Duhamel rounds out the top five with $18 million, followed by Kristen Foxen with $15.1 million, Sorel Mizzi with $14.4 million, Mike McDonald with $13.4 million, Alexander Livingston with $9.8 million and Mike Leah with $9.7 million. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foxen nearly gave Canadians three trophies in the $50,000 8-handed event, but her second-place finish of $1,039,000 dominated her countrymen’s payouts. That million put her above Mizzi. This is all according to the Hendon Mob<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
