€100,000 Short Deck Main Event
Day 1 Completed
Stephen Chidwick got his hands on a Triton Poker title plus a massive €1,800,000 payday after he denied Antanas "Tony G" Guoga in the €100,000 No-Limit Hold'em Short Deck event at the Triton Poker Series Madrid festival. Chidwick's impressive victory came only a few days after he finished second to Michael Addamo in €75,000 buy-in No-Limit Hold'em 8-Handed tournament, a result that banked the popular Brit €1,291,414 after a heads-up deal.
Chidwick has now won more than $5 million during 2022, and is now ranked fourth in poker's all time money listing, leap-frogging both David Peters and Erik Seidel, with $42,746,701 in earnings.
| Place | Player | Country | Prize |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Stephen Chidwick | United Kingdom | €1,800,000 |
| 2 | Antanas "Tony G" Guoga | Lithuania | €1,350,000 |
| 3 | Mikita Badziakouski | Belarus | €840,000 |
| 4 | Richard Yong | Malaysia | €640,000 |
| 5 | Danny Tang | Hong Kong | €490,000 |
| 6 | Isaac Haxton | United States | €380,000 |
| 7 | Seth Davies | United States | €305,000 |
| 8 | Michael Soyza | Malaysia | €240,000 |
Thirty-eight unique players purchased 28 re-entries between them and created a €6,000,000 prize pool that the top eight finishers shared. Michael Soyza was the first player heading for the cashier's desk. After losing some chips to Danny Tang, Soyza moved all-in with ace-nine of spades 665,000 and Chidwick re-shoved for 1,125,000 with pocket tens. The five community cards ran out void of aces or flushes, and Soyza busted in eighth for €240,000.
The final table's two American stars, Seth Davies and Isaac Haxton were the next players eliminated. Davies will count himself unlucky after committing his stack with ace-king on an ace-king-nine flop and getting a call from the ace-queen of Mikita Badziakouski. The turn and river came a jack and a ten to improve Badziakouski to a Broadway straight.
Tang's pair of red queens lost to the suited king-queen of Chidwick when the latter flopped a straight. Tang doubled up but lost a coinflip with jacks against Badziakouski's ace-queen on the first hand back after the dinner break.
Then came the demise of Richard Yong; Tony G did the damage. First, Tony G doubled through Chidwick, then through Yong, before his jack-eight came from behind against ace-eight to relieve Yong of his remaining chips.
Heads-up was set when Badziakouski, who won €50,000 NHLE 7-Handed event earlier in the series of €1,340,000, fell in third. The Belarusian was left nursing a short stack after a clash with Chidwick did not go to plan. Badziakosuki pinned his hopes on queen-ten but he could not get there against Tony G's ace-six, and he had to make do with the €840,000 third-place prize.
Tony G held the chip lead but Chidwick got fortunate when his king-queen hit a queen on the river to beat his opponent's dominating ace-king. After an intense battle, the final hand saw Tony G all-in with ace-queen against Chidwick's ace-king. No help arrived from the board, leaving Tony G with no chips but a €1,350,000 runner-up prize. Chidwick collected €1,800,000
