Choon Tong Siow

Choon Tong Siow is a prominent Malaysian professional poker player who has made a name for himself on the international stage, particularly in high-stakes tournaments. With a career spanning several years, Siow has accumulated significant earnings primarily through the Triton Poker Series, where he has consistently reached final tables. His disciplined and patient style has earned him respect among peers and fans alike.

Siow has been a regular on the Triton Poker Series since 2019, recording 13 cashes and nine final-table finishes for total earnings of $2.54 million. His best result came in March 2019 at the Triton SHR Series Jeju, where he finished third in the HK$1,000,000 Short Deck Main Event, earning HK$6,260,000 (approximately $799,000). Another notable performance was a seventh-place finish in the HK$1,000,000 Short Deck Main Event at the Triton SHR Series Montenegro in May 2019, worth HK$4,400,000 (about $562,000).

In subsequent years, Siow continued to cash in Triton events, including a fifth-place finish in the €25,000 Short Deck Ante-Only event at Triton Madrid in 2022 (€136,000), and a fifth-place result in the $30,000 NLH Turbo Bounty at Triton London in 2023 ($145,000). His most recent Triton cash as of 2025 is a 73rd-place finish in the $8,000 Main Event at Triton One Jeju for $16,500.

In September 2024, Siow added a title to his resume by winning the US$10,000 High Stakes Challenge at WPT Cambodia. The event attracted 15 players, and Siow struck an ICM deal with fellow Malaysian Victor Chong before playing for the trophy. He ultimately won the tournament, taking home US$74,052. This victory underscored his ability to perform under pressure in high-stakes settings.

Siow is among the top-ranked Malaysian players on the all-time money list, though his exact position fluctuates as new results come in. His consistent success on the Triton circuit and other international events has made him a key figure in the Malaysian poker community.
