Wow! What have we just witnessed?!
The Alejandro Lococo wrecking ball is out for destruction after a double-knockout of Mehdi Chaoui and Justin Saliba at the final table of the $20k.
Saliba moved all-in for his remaining 5,400,000 from the button, Lococo in the small blind followed suit, and Chaoui in the big blind came along for his total 4,200,000 as well.
Justin Saliba: Q♠J♦
Medhi Chaoui: 9♦9♥
Alejandro Lococo: A♣10♠
In a monster pot at any final table, let alone at a Triton with $771,000 up top, all three players stood to watch on as a board of J♣7♥8♣Q♣9♣ delivered Lococo a flush over Chaoui's three of a kind over Saliba's two pair.
Klemens Roiter, who secured an extra $230,000, by getting out the way, joined the trio in handshakes all round, as Lococo's final table domination set up the heads-up battle between himself and the Austrian.
