It's Final Table Time in the Triton ONE Main Event
It's the final day of the Triton ONE North Cyprus festival at the Merit Royal Hotel & Spa, with the final two champions set to be crowned.
Live coverage of the $8,000 Triton ONE North Cyprus Main Event gets underway at 1 p.m. local time, alongside the official live stream.
Chinese native Yiwen Yuan is one of 9 players remaining, and could become the first female Main Event winner in Triton Poker history.
She sits third in chips, with Mauritania's Mohamed El-Wely (43,700,000), and chipleader Alex Anton (62,100,000) in front of her as the battle for the biggest prizes of the $7,316,600 prize pool kick off.
Meanwhile, longtime crusher Mikita Badziakouski sits in fourth with 27,900,000. Badziakouski's impressive Triton Poker record includes five Super High Roller Series trophies, including two Main Event victories. If Badziakouski emerges as the winner today, he will become the only player to win both a Triton SRHS Main Event and a Triton ONE Main Event
