The Triton Series brought us daily cash game action over the past 7 days in the form of the invite-only Triton Cash Game Invitational, which took place at the Maestral Resort & Casino in Budva, Montenegro.
Both the blinds and the minimum bet amount were gradually changed. The first days were played at blinds of $1,000/$2,000/$2,000 with a minimum bet of $200,000 and later the blinds were increased to $1,000/$2,000/$5,000 with a minimum bet of $500,000.
Over the days, names such as Paul Phua, Adrian Mateos, Linus Loelinger, Brian Kim, Elton Tsang, Andy Ni, Danny Tang, Patrik Antonius, Rob Yong, Tony G, Daniel "Jungleman" Cates and the legendary Phil Ivey took their turn at the table. Someone played just one day and someone played all seven days.
With seven days of action now behind us, it's time to take stock of each player's financial gains or losses. All seven days were played by Paul Phua and Andy Ni, six days were played by Elton Tsang, ST Wang, HANDZ and Tan Xuan, five days were played by Phil Ivey and conversely only one day was played by Aaron Zang, Mikhail Petrov and Linus Loelinger.
Biggest underdog in the game
The biggest overall loser was Tan Xuan, who left as much as $1,842,000 on the table. Close behind was Tony G, who lost $1,707,000 over the three days. With the third biggest loss was Paul Phua, who handed his opponents a total of $1,518,000. Linus Loelinger played just one day and finished minus $280,000.
Tan Xuan hits what he thinks is the perfect turn card. 🃏 Little does he know that it does get him into a lot of trouble...

🚨 COOLER ALERT! @paulphuapoker is confident with his overpair, but Ferdinand Putra is keeping his cool with a call. Who's playing who? The tension is palpable! 😏

If we converted these amounts to hours, we would find that Tony G lost the most in an hour of anyone, to the tune of $117,724 per hour. He has Elton Tsang to thank in particular, thanks to whom he lost $1,350,000 in just one day.
Who earned the most?
Elton Tsang only missed one day and made a total of $2,743,000, making him the highest earner of all. In second place is Andy Ni, who made $1,948,000. Third place goes to Ferdinand Putra with $1,274,500 and fourth place goes to Phil Ivey who earned $933,500.
🐐 @philivey nails the flop, but the river is a minefield! So of course Tan Xuan goes for an overbet trying to level the G.O.A.T. Does Ivey bite? pic.twitter.com/J0AXT3JByo

Daniel "Jungleman" Cates also did a good job, bagging up $873,000, which earned him fifth place on the table. But if we were talking about who had the best hourly earnings, it would be Daniel Cates, who earned a whopping $91,895 per hour.
How did the star names finish?
I'm sure you're wondering how names like Adrian Mateos, Patrik Antonius, Danny Tang and Rob Yong ended up. Patrik Antonius finished in the black with $363,000 and Danny Tang was close behind with $337,000. On the opposite side is Adrian Mateos who finished in the minus $595,000 and Rob Yong finished close behind him in the minus $411,000.
🔥 @Patrik_Antonius is a true legend of the game! His ability to turn the tables and apply pressure in No-Limit Hold'em is unmatched.
