Triton Jeju II Day 3: 26 Players Chase $771K as $20K Triton Heads to Final Day

Jean-Noel Thorel Triton
Jean-Noel Thorel Triton

The first Triton champion of Jeju II has been crowned, and we're only just getting started.

Sunday brings the conclusion of the $20,000 NLH 8-Handed, with 25 players returning to the felt and a Triton title still up for grabs. Chin Wei Lim leads the way with 4,240,000 chips, putting him 53 big blinds deep and giving him a narrow advantage over Matthias Eibinger (3,535,000) and Jean-Noel Thorel (2,660,000).

Justin Saliba, Mehdi Chaoui and Justin Chu also sit inside the top six, while Jesse Lonis, Christoph Vogelsang, Alejandro Lococo, Daniel Dvoress and Kayhan Mokri are among the other big names still in contention.

The $20K drew 174 entries, with the final 25 who will play out the remainder of the action today already guaranteed a payday. All eyes will be on the prospect of becoming a Triton champion, though, and the not-so-small matter of $771,000 to the winner.

And while there will be a lot of attention (rightly) on the $20K, don't forget the $25,000 NLH Titi Poker gets underway at 3:00 p.m. local time on another busy day here in South Korea.

Play continues late into the night here in Jeju, with the $20K NLH 8-Handed now down to just 39 players from a field of 174 entries.

Who else but Jean-Noel Thorel is in control of proceedings at the moment with a handy lead, but it's down the opposite end of the leaderboard where things are about to get really interesting.

The bubble will burst when we're down to just 27 players in this one, and with a $35,000 min-cash, no one wants to miss out. Check out the confirmed payouts below:
