Star Power To Collide on Final Day of $30K Triton NLH as Antonius Leads Loaded Field

If there's been a better final day setup in tournament poker this year, I'm not sure I've seen it.

The $30,000 No-Limit Hold’em 8-Handed at the Triton Poker Montenegro has whittled down a 133-entry field into just 20 survivors, and the final stretch looks every bit as stacked as you would expect from a Triton event.

At the top of the counts is a familiar presence. Patrik Antonius leads the way with 3.1 million chips (63 big blinds), the Finnish legend once again right where he so often finds himself when things get serious. Right behind him is Javid Ismayilov on 3.05 million, with Mario Mosboeck sitting third on 2.7 million as the chasing pack begins to form.

A Who’s Who Still in the Hunt

If the top three alone already sets the tone, the rest of the field only reinforces it.

With 20 players remaining, the tournament is stacked with Triton champions and proven high-roller regulars, and there is no obvious soft spot left to target.

Ethan "Rampage" Yau and Kristen Foxen are both still in the mix inside the top eight, each chasing a first Triton title and a career-defining score on this stage.

Around them are players who need no introduction or breakthrough moment. Adrian Mateos, Fedor Holz, Kiat Lee and Jesse Lonis are all still very much involved, each with multiple major titles already to their name and plenty of experience closing out fields like this.

Add in five-time Triton champion Danny Tang, plus yesterday’s winner Anatoly Zlotnikov looking to back it up, and the depth of quality becomes even more pronounced.

The bubble has burst, there's $928,000 up top, and this final day looks nothing short of unmissable.
