Kristen Foxen headlines a stacked Triton Jeju Main Event final table, while fellow crusher Jesse Lonis added another high roller win to his resume.

Lonis, who now has over $29 milllion in The Hendon Mob results, was already having a strong series before entering the one-day $50,000 Turbo Bounty Quattro, a tournament that had 46 entries. He dominated the field for his fourth Triton title and $474,000, plus $540,000 in bounties.

The champion busted nine of the final 12 players, including his heads-up opponent, Kiat Lee, who received $343,000 for the runner-up finish.

The $100,000 No-Limit Hold'em Main Event played down to the final nine players on Wednesday, and there's plenty of star power remaining, including the chip leader Ben Tollerene. Play will resume on Thursday with those still standing chasing the $3.76 million first-place prize.

Tollerene bagged 10,87500 chips, which puts him well ahead of anyone else. Xu Yang is second in chips with 6,625,000, and Elton Tsang sits in third place with 5,400,000 chips.

Foxen is also in the mix, sitting in sixth place with 3,825,000, plenty of chips to make a run and in a stronger position than Felipe Ketzer, who will try to spin up the smallest stack — 1,150,000 — to a Triton Main Event victory.
