2026 Triton ONE North Cyprus
Chip Counts
Hassan Nashar made a large raise to 25,000 under the gun. Rafael Navas called in the hijack, and Elizabeth Chen jammed in her short stack of 59,000 from the cutoff, and Paul Esau rejammed for 241,000 from the big blind.
Nashar requested a count, then called with the covering stack. Navas, meanwhile, had seen enough and folded.
Elizabeth Chen: A♠9♠
Paul Esau: A♣J♥
Hassan Nashar: 8♣7♦
All players paired on the K♦A♦7♣ flop, with Esau remaining in the lead. However, the 8♠ turn made Nashar two pair, and he celebrated loudly when his hand remained best on the 10♥ river.
Chen and Esau both shook their heads as they departed the tournament, while Nashar chipped up to nearly a million in chips.
Hady El Asmar raised to 15,000 in the hijack. Luka Sorainen and Krasimir Yankov called in the blinds, and the 2♦J♣10♣ flop was fanned.
It checked to El Asmar, who continued with a bet of 17,000. Sorainen called before Yankov raised to 58,000. El Asmar then three-bet to 200,000, folding out Sorainen.
However, Yankov wanted to play for his stack and jammed for 387,000. El Asmar immediately called.
Krasimir Yankov: 2♠2♥
Hady El Asmar: 10♠10♥
Yankov had just one out against El Asmar's higher set. The final deuce did not appear on the 6♠ turn or J♥ river, awarding El Asmar the big pot and sending Yankov to the rail.
Cutoff Patrick Brooks raised to 12,000, Maksym Mamon made it 35,000 to go on the button, and Brooks moved all in. Mamon quickly called off his 200,000 remaining chips.
Maksym Mamon: A♠Q♠
Patrick Brooks: 7♠7♣
Mamon turned extra outs on 5♣K♣8♦J♥, but Brooks' sevens eliminated him when the K♦ river paired the board.
Level: 8
Blinds: 3,000/6,000
Ante: 6,000
Catching the action on the J♠6♦A♥3♠ turn, Mehmet Biskin checked from the small blind, and Huu Dung Nguyen did so in the cutoff. Yoko Sasaki then added 55,000 to the pot of 160,000 on the button, and only Biskin called.
Biskin checked again on the Q♦ river. Sasaki put the ultimate pressure on her opponent by moving all in, but Biskin quickly folded, leaving himself just under a starting stack.
Wesley Fei kicked off the action by opening to 10,000 under the gun. Paulius Vaitiekunas flat-called in the cutoff, allowing Cole Griffith to squeeze in a three-bet to 55,000 from the small blind.
Fei wanted to see a flop and called, while Vaitiekunas elected to fold. Griffith then continued for 40,000 on the 9♥9♠2♣ flop, and Fei raised to 90,000.
Griffith responded with a three-bet to 170,000, and Fei four-bet jammed in response. Griffith called, putting him at risk for 384,000.
Cole Griffith: Q♦Q♣
Wesley Fei: 9♦7♦
Fei had flopped trips, meaning only two cards in the deck could save Griffith from being eliminated. The 10♥ turn blanked, but the Q♥ river upgraded Griffith to a full house, awarding him the giant pot.
Roman Stoika open-raised to 10,000 from the cutoff, and Pavle Pecelj three-bet to 25,000 on the button. The blinds folded, but Stoika moved all in. Pecelj quickly called off his stack of 118,000.
Pavle Pecelj: J♠J♥
Roman Stoika: A♠5♠
Stoika's bluff turned some extra outs on 10♦8♦4♥7♥, but the 5♦ river was not enough to prevent Pecelj from doubling up.
Kursad Bayrakci open-raised to 10,000 from middle position, receiving calls from Luka Bojovic in the hijack and Mantas Bagocius on the button.
Bayrakci tossed in another 10,000 on the 6♦3♣5♠ flop. Bojovic folded, but Bagocius raised to 35,000. Bayrakci then clicked it back to 75,000, which Bagocius called.
Bayrakci added 55,000 more to the pot on the 6♠ turn. Bagocius called again, after which the 2♣ turn checked to showdown.
Bayrakci showed he had been bluffing with A♣8♣, meaning Bagocius' 7♥7♣ was enough to award him the pot.
