The Triton Monte-Carlo also had its second tournament, which had a buy-in of $31,800 and brought 144 entries with a prizepool of $4,320,000. A $1,005,000 prize awaited the winner here and the top 20 players battled it out on the final day.
Just before the final table, Samuel Mullur busted out, taking home $84,000 for his 10th place finish. Orpen Kisacikoglu entered the final table as chipleader with a stack of 5,175,000. At the other end was Kayhan Mokri, who only had a 9 blind stack.
However, Kayhan was able to gradually multiply himself and won hand after hand. As a result, he knocked as many as 7 of his opponents out of the game. The final heads-up match was between Kayhan Mokri and Paulius Vaitiekunas. Kayhan was able to take down this opponent as well, winning his first Triton title and $1,005,000 along with it. Vaitiekunas took home $680,000 for his second place finish.
