Triton Short Deck
Day 2 Started
The final seven players remaining come back today at noon for Day 2 of the Triton Short Deck event at partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Europe. Play will resume at Level 13, with the ante at 20,000 and the button ante at 40,000.
The remaining field will battle through 40-minute levels, with five cash spots on the line and the grand prize of €237,250 on the line.
Tony G (2,305,000) and Leon Tsoukernik (1,700,000) lead the pack, closely followed by Yake Wu (1,685,000). Rounding out the field are Cary Katz (1,025,000), Liang Yu (525,000), Paul Phua (453,000) and Choon Tong Siow (405,000).
The star-studded group will take over the feature table at King's Resort in Rozvadov, Czech Republic, and play through to a winner in what has turned out to be a wild and action-filled event throughout the first 12 levels.
Five of these players will cash for at least the fifth-place prize of €61,000, as today's play starts with just two eliminations remaining before the money bubble bursts.
Follow along with the PokerNews live reporting team as the Triton Short Deck event plays down to a champion.
