“It’s up there with my favorite poker moments, for sure. To get the Triton Series trophy and WSOP bracelet at the same time, it’s unreal,” Foxen said after securing the title and $3,850,000 top prize.

The four players saw a flop of K♠9♣8♣ and Mota checked to Pham who continued for 10,000.
Phua folded, but the other two players both called. The turn was the 4♣. It checked to Daher who bet 28,000.
Mota called before Pham raised to 100,000. Daher called before Mota shoved for 461,000, getting called in both spots before the cards were turned over.
Cong Pham: K♥K♦ 
Albert Daher: 8♦8♥
Rafael Mota: Q♣10♣
Mota had turned a flush, beating the flopped sets of both his opponents, and rivered a straight J♥ for good measure, soaring to almost one million in chips.
Ryan Rapaski opened to 4,000 in the cutoff, with Charles Hook making the call on the button. Neehar Banerji called in the small blind, while Johan Guilbert came along in the big blind.

The Q♥ turn saw Banerji lead out for 80,000, and Guilbert used a time bank before letting his hand go. Hook also folded, and Banerji collected the pot.
