2026 Triton Poker Series Jeju II
Klemens Roiter raised to 30,000 from the hijack, and both Roberto Perez and Adrian Mateos called from the button and big blind.
Roiter continued for 27,000 on a 6♠10♠K♦ board, and Perez called again. Mateos then check-raised all-in for 115,000. Roiter called, but Perez folded.
Adrian Mateos: K♠J♦
Klemens Roiter: A♠5♠
Mateos was looking to dodge an ace or a spade, and did just that, as the 8♣ turn and Q♥ river kept his lead intact.
Level: 12
Blinds: 6,000/12,000
Ante: 12,000
Laszlo Bujtas raised to 20,000 from under the gun, and Joao Simao moved all-in for 132,000 from middle position. The action folded back to Bujtas, who looked him up.
Joao Simao: 7♠7♥
Laszlo Bujtas: A♣J♣
Bujtas completely whiffed the 2♦3♣3♠4♦10♥ board, seeing Simao survive with a double-up.
Gha Iakobishvili moved all-in for 28,000 from the hijack, and Alex Anton followed suit on the button, moving all-in for 95,000. Jesse Lonis called in the big blind, looking to reduce the field by two.
Gha Iakobishvili: K♦Q♥
Alex Anton: J♠J♥
Jesse Lonis: K♣Q♣
The A♣9♦5♦ flop kept Anton's lead intact, and he was left dodging four outs when he hit a set on the J♦ turn. Unfortunately for him, the 10♥ landed on the river, giving both Lonis and Iakobishvili a straight, sending Anton to the rail.
Mike Watson raised to 22,000 from under the gun, and Bernhard Binder defended his big blind.
Binder check-called when Watson continued for 15,000 on a 6♣J♠4♦. The 9♥ turn then followed the same pattern: Binder checked, Watson bet 120,000, and Binder called.
The 10♥ completed the board, and Binder checked a third time. Watson bet 483,000, leaving 7,000 behind, and Binder called again.
Watson tabled Q♥Q♣, which was no good, as Binder flipped over 9♠6♠ for two pair.
Daniel Rezaei raised to 20,000 from early position, and Phil Ivey moved all-in for 263,000, one seat to Rezaei's left. Isaac Haxton then four-bet all-in for 771,000, and Rezaei folded.
Phil Ivey: A♦Q♠
Isaac Haxton: Q♥Q♣
The 6♠8♥J♦2♦3♣ board offered no help whatsoever to Ivey, whose stack was sent to Haxton.
When the action folded to Batuhan Yildiz in the small blind, he raised to 20,000. Matthew Wantman then moved all-in for 160,000 from the big blind, and Yildiz called.
Matthew Wantman: Q♥Q♦
Batuhan Yildiz: 4♥4♣
The deck brought no help for Yildiz, as the 8♥A♦J♦K♦10♠ runout gave Wantman a straight and a double-up.
