The third and final day of the HK$1-million Triton SHR Series Montenegro has dawned and just eight players of the 52-strong field (including 25 re-entries) remain in contention to battle it out over the juicy HK$48,921,600 prize pool.

Some of the international poker circuit’s best and brightest made the trip over to the magnificent Montenegrin Maestral Resort and Casino with superstars such as two-time Triton High Roller champion Fedor Holz, 2016 Global Poker Index Player of the Year David Peters, defending champion Koray Aldemir and Daniel ‘jungleman’ Cates just some of those who fell short of the hallowed money spots.

The eight remaining players are all guaranteed a payday of at least HK$1,712,000 (~$219,256) but it is the HK$16,877,600 (~$2,161,520) first prize all will have their eye on.

The man best positioned to take that is Germany’s Manig Loeser, whose elimination of Day 1 chip leader Wang Qiang burst the bubble in spectacular fashion to conclude Day 2 and set up the eight-handed final table and you can read a full recap of all the Day 2 action here.

Loeser (3,715,000) begins play with a stack of over 1.6 million more than next closest rival Richard Yong (2,100,000) with old school poker stalwartJohn Juanda (1,760,000) rounding out the top three, with the rest of the final table stacking up as follows:

There are still 30-minutes remaining on the clock at level 18 with blinds starting at 25,000/50,000 with a 5,000 running ante and play recommences at 1pm CET.

The PokerNews live reporting team will be on the floor until a champion is crowned so stick around as we see who has what it takes to take the Triton Super High Roller 2017 Montenegro Main Event trophy, title and a great deal of cold, hard cash.
