Poker Latest News | Triton Poker Winners
Established in 2015, Triton Poker has carved a reputation as the pinnacle of high-stakes poker tournaments. Not only is it the go-to arena for both top-tier professional players and enthusiastic amateurs, but its luxury-infused, high buy-in events have set it apart in the poker community. Now, with its growing online presence, Triton Poker continues to enthrall audiences and players alike.
The latest edition of the Triton Poker series is taking place online at partypoker from August 1 to August 15, 2023. The series consists of 12 events with buy-ins ranging from $10,000 to $100,000. The total guaranteed prize pool is a whopping $15 million.
Main Event Victory: Timothy Adams Claims Top Spot
The Triton Poker Main Event was the biggest and most anticipated event of the series, with a buy-in of $100,000 and a guaranteed prize pool of $5 million. The event attracted 114 entries, creating a massive pot of $11.4 million. The final table featured some of the best players in the world, including Daniel Dvoress, Michael Addamo, Artur Martirosian and Jason Koon.
However, it was Canadian pro Timothy Adams who emerged victorious after a grueling heads-up battle with Dvoress. Adams took home a staggering $3.6 million for his first-place finish, while Dvoress settled for $2.4 million as the runner-up. This was Adams’ second Triton Poker title, after winning the Super High Roller Bowl Russia in 2020 for $3.7 million.
Phil Ivey’s Triumphant Return
Phil Ivey is one of the most legendary and respected players in poker history. He has won 10 World Series of Poker bracelets, one World Poker Tour title and countless other tournaments. He is also a regular at the Triton Poker events, where he has won three titles before.
Ivey added another feather to his cap by winning the Triton Poker Pot-Limit Omaha event for $1.5 million. The event had a buy-in of $50,000 and a guaranteed prize pool of $2 million. It drew 61 entries, creating a pot of $3 million. Ivey defeated fellow poker icon Patrik Antonius in heads-up play, denying him his first Triton Poker title. Antonius earned $980,000 for his second-place finish.
Jungleman Leads Triton Poker Main Event
Daniel Cates, better known as Jungleman, is one of the most feared and respected players in high-stakes poker. He is also a fan favorite for his eccentric personality and antics. He recently made headlines for leading the Triton Poker Main Event after Day 1.
Cates ended the day with 1.8 million chips, which was more than double his closest competitor. He also eliminated several notable players along the way, such as Stephen Chidwick, Dan Smith, and Fedor Holz. Cates was looking to win his first Triton Poker title and add to his impressive resume.
Unfortunately for Cates, he could not maintain his momentum on Day 2 and eventually busted out in 14th place. He earned $230,000 for his efforts, which was still a decent return on his investment. Cates has yet to win a major live tournament title, but he has proven himself as one of the best online cash game players in history.
