The eye of the reader certainly did not miss the information that the most luxurious poker series in the world - Triton SHRS - is anchored in London these days. Even though this festival also includes two Main Event (NLH/Short Deck) tournaments in the schedule, many of us agree that the most interesting was the unique Luxon Invitational event this time. In addition to the $250,000 price tag, what made it the most interesting was the fact that the field of players was once again half entrepreneurs and half professionals.
There was no end to the selection of famous names in this tournament, but there was definitely something to look at in the field of 118 entries. The players delighted the audience with two 12-hour live streams, through which you could watch how this tournament slowly approaches its final.
Live Stream from yesterday's day 2:
The second day of play gradually closed our registration (118 entries - $29,500,000 prizepool), burst the bubble, and by the end of the day he also formed the last, final table. Jason Koon ($342,000), Cary Katz ($371,000), Paul Phua ($410,000), Patrik Antonius ($455,000), Stephen Chidwick ($501,000), and Christopher Vogelsang ($575,000), who ended this playing day with his elimination in tenth place.
Leading the final nine before the final day is British entrepreneur and passionate poker enthusiast Talal Shakerchi, who will start the final with a 72bb stack. Average worth 39bb promises a fair dose of poker, which is further enhanced by the names we can look forward to - Bryn Kenney, Nick Petrangelo, Aleksejs Ponakovs or Chris Moneymaker:
The final table kicks off this afternoon, and each of the players will jump into it with a guaranteed $680,000 in prize money. But 10 times more is waiting for the winner, so the players definitely don't give each other anything. The game will continue at blinds of 50k/100k/100k, but you will be able to watch everything live again via Live Stream, which you can find on our website!
