Obituary | Who Was Ivan Leow? Wife, Children, Net-Worth, Cause Of Death, Triton Pokeer Co-founder

Malaysian Poker Player Ivan Leow, 41, the co-founder of Triton Poker, died suddenly of a heart attack on Saturday, September 17.

Paul and Richard broke the sad news that Ivan Leow, a founding member of Triton and our close friend, partner, and supporter, had passed away.

With thanks, Paul and Richard It is with great regret that we must inform you that Ivan Leow, 41, a dear friend, partner, supporter, and founding member of Triton, passed away this morning from natural causes. It was in Macau where I first met Ivan Leow, and from the start, we hit it off. He welcomed everyone with a warm smile and open arms. His absence will be keenly felt. My condolences to your family, and may you rest in peace, my friend.

A line of women formed to push past me. I reached out and gave her a hard tap on the shoulder while firmly telling her to leave me alone. I learned at the poker table that you should never discount the significance of body language.

In a moving taxi, I spotted his massive iron ball and installation, which led me to wonder why we consider the sculpture of a giant throwing a spear (shown below) to be pornographic.

Ivan Leow must have been exceptionally talented at what he did or come from a very wealthy family; I have no idea how he made his money. A 36-year-old Malaysian poker enthusiast won the Triton Poker Super High Roller at partypoker MILLIONS Russia, with a buy-in of 6,000,000 rand ($94,000).

At the Triton Poker Series on Jeju Island, Leow had a phenomenal two weeks, making three final tables and winning a total of HK$8,470,000 ($1,079,367) in the short Cards, bet-only events (HK$500,000).

There’s more to Leow than meets the eye. Some of the tracks in this compilation are completely silent. He recently had his first event in Russia, and he also won the Triton Poker Jeju No-Limit Hold’em Main Event, which had a HKD 2,000,000 (USD 255,000) buy-in (he got in at USD 1,000,000).

Ivan Leow was one of the early birds on Day 2 late registration seeking worms, and he doubled through Phil Ivey 77>AQo’s early gate to gain an early advantage.

Ivey was falling further and further behind as Leow advanced twice as quickly as Koray Aldemir. On a board of 8h7h3d3s, Ivey held pocket pairs and called Aldemir’s all-in with a 3-bet against the German’s pocket queens.

Then, our soon-to-be crowned champion went all in against Konstantin Uspenskii’s AQo, and his pocket pair was knocked out by Konstantin’s tens. The flop brings another ace, doubling the Russian’s bet.

The scene can resemble an early-round cash-out at a German High Stakes Poker Tournament. Preflop action included Johannes Becker and Wai Leong Chan. There are two nines in the pocket. Chan, however, had a better rhythm than the German and beat him in the bar as the precinct approached.

The second shot from Becker was also a miss.

Becker left for a second time, this time with KK against Dietrich Fast’s AK, and his third ball in tow.

When the Russian went all-in with 13 big blinds and pocket pairs, we lost Timofey Kuznetsov but won when Abraham Passet woke up with aces. The Russians arrived on the railroad after receiving the call and playing five public cards. The action folded to Philipp Gruissem, who moved all-in for 15 bb with A7cc, but was defeated by Leow’s A9o.

He participated in the $50,000 Short Deck Event before his passing. The poker industry has been severely impacted; thus, playing is currently out of the question.
