Names like Isaac Haxton, Daniel Dvoress, Leon Sturm, Steve O'Dwyer and Nick Petrangelo, who was the chipleader, were battling for this amount at the final table. They all had at least $77,000 in their pockets here.

Petrangelo finally won the title

Nick Petrangelo was the proverbial underdog of the triton series. He had 14 cashes and 5 final table appearances under his belt, but never once won the title. But that changed on this night. After taking on Lewis Spencer in the final heads-up, it was Nick Petrangelo who took home the coveted trophy and the $775,000 prize for the winner.
