Adrian Mateos opened to 250,000 in early position. Emilien Pitavy then three-bet to 625,000 in the hijack, and Mateos moved all in for 3,000,000 in response.
Pitavy flicked in a call, covering Mateos by a fair amount.
Adrian Mateos: J♣J♦ 
Emilien Pitavy: A♦K♦
Pitavy paired on the 9♦K♣9♣ flop for a big lead. Mateos was down to just two outs, but no jack appeared on the 8♥ turn or K♥ river.
Pitavy made a full house to win the monster pot, crushing Mateos' hopes of going back-to-back in the Invitational.
It's time for the final day of the $200k Triton Invitational. With $7.25 million up top for the winner, and everyone remaining guaranteed a minimum payday of $460,000, we are set for the final day of all days.

Life comes at you fast.
Semi Sun had a top-three stack on the bubble of the $200,000 Triton Invitational at Triton Jeju Super High Roller Series Jeju II, but he left the tournament empty handed as the poker player from the Phillipines missed out on a $305,000 payday.
Yang Wang, the player who busted Sun, had himself been at risk himself minutes earlier, but he picked up pocket aces to double and become the table chip leader. And that would end up being bad news for Sun.
