Even after playing the Main Event and the most expensive Luxon Invitational event, the players do not take their foot off the gas, and the London stop of TritonSHRS continues to delight the audience with great poker. It continued yesterday with the 60,000 NLH event, which thanks to 106 entries produced a prizepool worth $6,360,000.
It began to be divided between players after Dan Smith and Oya Masashi left the tournament at the same time, leaving the last 17 players to look forward to $100,000 in mincash. Such famous names as Steve O'Dwyer, Nick Petrangelo and Cary Katz gradually made it to the cash desk, and by eliminating the Main Event champion Timothy Adams in tenth place, it was subsequently possible to form the final nine, which was again full of action:
- Keat Liu Chun 5.855m (73 BBs)
- Jason Koon 3.475m (43 BBs)
- Danny Tang 2.6m (33 BBs)
- Matthias Eibinger 2.435m (30 BBs)
- Bruno Volkmann 2.33m (29 BBs)
- Lewis Spencer 1.42m (18 BBs)
- Mikita Badziakouski 1.25m (16 BBs)
- Elior Sion 1.04m (13 BBs)
- Sean Winter 790,000 (10 BBs)
After the elimination of Elior Sion and Lewis Spencer, the poker death came to the recorder of this table, Mikita Badziakouski. He was chasing his fifth Triton title in this event, but unfortunately, three-time champion Danny Tang destroyed his plans. Badziakouski was better with K K against Danny's A K in the battle of premiums, but the on the turn changed everything. For the Belarusian representative, the deeprun in this tournament ended in 7th place, valued at $283,000.
Sean Winter, Keat Liu Chun and the mentioned record holder Jason Koon, who missed the incredible ninth title by only three places, had to aim for the cach desk. The third place in this tournament was finally occupied by the Austrian representative Matthias Eibinger, who already has two titles from this series at home. Even if the trophy did not come from it, the reward of $703,000 is certainly not to be thrown away.
Before us was the final heads-up, in which Danny Tang had an advantage of 65bb against Bruno Volkmann's 19bb. The atmosphere in the hall was charged, the numerous Asian rail was shouted by the representatives of Brazil, who hoped that Bruno would succeed in one double-up and then the game would start in full. Unfortunately, that didn't come true, the very first big game on the river 3 3 7 4 2 got all the chips over the line, but since Volkmann's 5 2 wasn't enough in the showdown on Danny's A 5 , it was decided.
For Danny, this is the continuation of a truly respectable run that he started this year in Vietnam. After years of watching other players win, he finally got his first trophy here, but since then he managed to win two titles in Cyprus and topped it all off with a fourth trophy now in London. "I don't know what to say, I think I'm still playing the same way. Maybe I've improved a bit, but when you play with players like that, you're going to get better. Anyway, I am very grateful and dedicate this win to Ivan Leow.”
