Canadian high-stakes crusher Daniel Dvoress won his seventh Triton title today as he defeated Xuan Liu in $30,000 NLH 8-Handed to win the trophy and $942,000 in an event where everything seemed to go his way.
"I think I won every single all in," Dvoress told PokerNews in a winner's interview. "Or something close to that."
Last May, Xuan Liu defeated Daniel Dvoress in the WPT Global Slam at Triton Montenegro to win $860,000 and make history as the first woman Triton poker champion.
A year and some months later, the two Canadians again found themselves heads-up in $30,000 NLH 8-Handed at Triton Super High Roller Series Jeju II, but it was Dvoress who pulled ahead this time to win $942,000 and his seventh Triton title.
Stay tuned for a full recap and winner's interview.
