Just nine players remain in the $100,000 Triton Montenegro Main Event, and if the line-up is anything to go by, today has all the ingredients for another classic on poker’s biggest high-stakes stage.

Danny Tang returns as chip leader with 7,050,000 chips, continuing what has already been a huge series for the Triton ambassador after his runner-up finish to Mario Mosboeck earlier in the week.

But there’s barely any breathing room at the top.

German crusher Leon Sturm sits right behind Tang on 6,775,000, while Wang Ye completes a tightly-packed top three with 6,425,000 as the biggest stacks all head into the final table separated by little more than a couple of pots.

Antonius Chasing Another Huge Triton Result

There’s also plenty of experience lurking just beneath the leaders.

Patrik Antonius, one of the defining names of the Triton era, returns seventh in chips with 26 big blinds and more than enough room to apply pressure once play resumes.

Elsewhere, Alex Kulev and Kiat Lee will both come back among the shorter stacks, but with the average sitting at 35 big blinds, there’s still plenty of play left in the tournament.

And at Triton, momentum can flip in a heartbeat.
