David Salituro

Level 16 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Aliaksei Boika moved all in for 150,000 from the cutoff and Abdelhakim Zoufri called in middle position.

Aliaksei Boika: A♦Q♦ All in

At the same table, Matthew McEwan and Young Sik Eum are both sitting on stacks of more than 1,000,000.

Level 16 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Taylor von Kriegenbergh raised to 25,000 in middle position and Andrew Park moved all in from the cutoff.

"Please say it's 104 and not 128," Von Kriegenbergh said.

The dealer confirmed the amount of 104,000 and Von Kriegenbergh called.

"Please don't have an ace," he added, as they prepared to turn over their cards.

Andrew Park: K♥Q♥ All in
Taylor von Kriegenbergh: A♥6♠

Both players hit a pair on the A♣Q♠3♥ flop, but Von Kriegenbergh was ahead with his aces. The rest of the board came 4♣9♠ and Park was eliminated.

Level 16 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Vytautas Semaska opened to 25,000 from under the gun before Marc Rivera three-bet to 70,000 from middle position and Semaska called.

On the 8♣3♦2♥ flop, Semaska check-called a bet of 40,000 from Rivera.

The 4♠ turn checked through to the Q♦ river, which saw Semaska check for third time. Rivera peeked at his cards before he elected to jam for 210,000 effective as the covering stack. Semaska went into the tank and used a time bank before he elected to fold.

Triton Million Hands of the Week: Ivey Loses $1,000,000; Brutal Bubble Bustout for Ryan Feldman

Kaelaine Minton

Level 15 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise, which is taking place on Paradise Island in The Bahamas, got off to a big start with the $500,000 buy-in Triton Million, which marked the WSOP's first partnership with Triton Poker.

It was a unique tournament that paired an invitee with a poker pro – each putting up a $500,000 buy-in – and then competing in respective fields on Day 1 before combining on Day 2. The tournament, which was being live reported by PokerNews, featured 74 players (37 pairs) and much to our surprise saw two players get their chips all in on the very first hand of the tournament.

It was a big hand, but just one captured by the PokerNews Live Reporting Team. Here is a look at five other either big or game-changing hands from the Triton Million.
