Fernandez Gives Up on the River

Adam Lamers

Level 4 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

The action folded to Nicolas Chouity on the button who made it 15,000 to go. Sergio Fernandez three-bet to 60,000 in the small blind and Chouity called.

The flop came K♠3♦2♥ and Fernandez led out with a bet of 35,000. Chouity called and the 6♣ landed on the turn. Fernandez made another bet of 50,000 and Chouity still called.

The river brought the J♠ and Fernandez checked this time. Chouity gathered a bet of 122,000, leaving just 1,000 behind but Fernandez instantly sent his cards to the muck.

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

Level 4 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 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.

Level 5 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Kevin Rivest and Micah Raskin saw a flop of 10♣9♠6♦ where Rivest bet 25,000 from the button. Raskin called in the small blind.

The turn was the Q♥ and Rivest bet 50,000. "Good turn for you?" Raskin asked.

"One more. Look at you," Rivest replied, pointing out Raskin's massive stack.

"How do I know this isn't an angle shoot?" Raskin added, but he eventually called to see the 4♥ river.

"Wow, maybe you're angle-shooting," Rivest joked. He then bet 108,000 and Raskin thought about the decision for a minute before folding. Rivest allowed him to choose one of his cards, and Raskin picked the A♠.
