It's Day 1 of the $30k NLH 8-Handed, the biggest buy-in event of the festival so far, and the field is currently on 98 entries and climbing, building just short of a $3 million prize pool.
Triton PoY contender Ike Haxton has made another strong start after his 3rd-placed finish in the $25k Titi Poker earlier and currently sits at the head of the counts, while his primary opponent for that honor, Dan Dvoress, joins him inside the top 10.
Late registration is still open in this one for another level, so we'll get an idea soon of just how big the field and prize pool is, and of course, those all-important payouts.
Khoa Anh Ngo is no stranger to making history at Triton Poker. After all, he is the first, and to date only, two-time champion on the Triton ONE tour.
Now, he has a Super High Roller title to add to his burgeoning reputation in the global game, along with the not-so-insignificant matter of $1,090,000 to show for it.
Anh Ngo took down the $25K NLH Titi Poker at the Triton Super High Roller Series Jeju II, in a festival that is quickly becoming notable for the number of first-time winners and breakout stars that have emerged.
The Vietnamese player defeated Russian crusher Anatoly Filatov heads-up to claim his third Triton trophy, and told PokerNews after his victory, “Winning the Triton ONE title two times meant a lot to me. It gave me a lot of confidence. [It made me think] I can try to go a little bit further and play some events of the Triton Super High Roller Series.”
It's heads-up and all change in Event #5, with Alex Boika taking an almost 2:1 chip lead into heads-up play over Philip Sternheimer.
Sternheimer has eight cashes and is yet to win a maiden title, while Boika , after knocking out Yu Lei in third, is in pole position for the first title of his Triton career in what is his 18th cash.
| Rank | Player | Country | Chip Count | Big Blinds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Alex Boika | Belarus | 17,000,000 | 56 |
| 2 | Philip Sternheimer | United Kingdom | 9,400,000 | 32 |
Seth Davies had started the final table second in chips, but has just fallen in fifth place.
He lost with ace-deuce against the jack-ten of Nevan Chang, and was then eliminated on the next hand by Yu Lei.
The remaining four players are led by Philip Sternheimer ahead of Alex Boika. They've all locked up $282,000 with the winner taknig home $761,000.
| Rank | Player | Country | Chip Count | Big Blinds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Philip Sternheimer | United Kingdom | 9,100,000 | 36 |
| 2 | Alex Boika | Belarus | 8,625,000 | 35 |
| 3 | Yu Lei | China | 5,625,000 | 23 |
| 4 | Nevan Chang | Taiwan | 2,850,000 | 11 |
Away from the excitement of the conclusion of the $25k Titi Poker, we also reached a final table in the $25k NLH 8-Handed!
Vladas Tamasauskas was the first to depart the official final table, with the Lithuanian crusher banking $130,000 for another fantastic run at Triton.
As of now, we have 7 players remaining and the counts are arranged as follows:
| Rank | Player | Country | Chips | BBs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Alex Boika | Belarus | 7,625,000 | 61 |
| 2 | Seth Davies | United States | 5,775,000 | 46 |
| 3 | Philip Sternheimer | United Kingdom | 5,225,000 | 42 |
| 4 | Lei Yu | China | 2,900,000 | 23 |
| 5 | Mingcong Chen | China | 2,400,000 | 19 |
| 6 | Nevan Chang | Taiwan | 1,150,000 | 9 |
| 7 | Manuel Fritz | Austria | 1,125,000 | 9 |
The winner gets $761,000 and we're all set for another thrilling conclusion to proceedings here at the Les A Casino on beautiful Jeju Island.
We have a winner in the $25k Titi Poker after Anatoly Filatov was defeated by Khoa Anh Ngo.
In the final hand, Anh limped and Filatov checked his option. The flop came 2♥8♦7♥, Filatov checked and Anh fired a bet of 2,000,000. Filatov moved all-in, in response, and Anh made the call.
Anatoly Filatov: Q♣8♠
Khoa Anh Ngo: 8♣5♠
Both players had picked up a pair of eights, but Filatov had a better kicker. However, when 5♣ came on the turn, Ngo picked up two pair and the 6♠ river changed nothing.
Stay tuned for our full recap of Ngo's maiden Triton Super High Roller Series success!
