Daniel Dvoress completed a stunning comeback victory in the $100,000 Triton PLO Main Event at Triton Poker Super High Roller Series Montenegro, turning the shortest stack at the start of the final day into a career-defining title and a $2,018,000 payday.
The Canadian high-stakes star came into the six-handed finale with little room to maneuver, but thrived in the chaos that only Pot-Limit Omaha can provide. By the end of the night, Dvoress had secured his fifth Triton title and his first-ever Triton Main Event crown.

“Amazing,” Dvoress told Triton after the win. “Some of the other wins that I’ve had were in smaller tournaments or smaller fields, and it feels absolutely incredible to get one in the Main Event.”
The event attracted 76 entries and generated a $7.6 million prize pool, with some of the world’s best PLO players returning for the final day. Dvoress eventually defeated Austria’s Manuel Stojanovic heads-up after a rollercoaster final table that also featured Martin Dam, Patrik Antonius and fellow Canadian Mike Watson.
Dvoress admitted he arrived at the final table preparing more for survival than victory.
“I came into the final table being last and mentally I was preparing to think of techniques to try to ladder, try to sneak in a pay jump,” he said. “And then things turned around really quickly. I just feel really fortunate.”
The win capped off a remarkable Montenegro series for Dvoress, who had already taken down the $25,000 Golden Decade event earlier in the stop.
