A Year to Remember: Alex Anton Adds Maiden Triton Title to WSOP Bracelet

At a final table full of big hitters, it was the new guy who shone through.

Alex Anton defeated a field of 70 entrants in Triton Jeju Event #9: $30,000 NLHE Turbo in quickfire fashion, taking home $577,000 after defeating Artur Martirosian heads-up.

This is Anton's fourth-ever Triton cash, and comes hot on the heels of a cash in Event #5 and a third-place finish in Event #7 just this week. Now, he adds the second-largest cash of his career and a maiden Triton title to the WSOP bracelet he won just three months ago.

Meanwhile, Martirosian's dreams of a fifth Triton title were dashed, but his $411,000 payday was enough for him to move above $16 million in Triton earnings.
