The final nine included noted pros <strong>Alan Sass<\/strong>, Koon, and<strong> Daniel \u201cjungleman12\u201d Cates<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Cates and Ivey have had some legendary battles playing high-stakes online poker over the years so it was perhaps fitting that they were the final two players left standing.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, Ivey got the better of Cates this time around but the jungleman still took down <strong>$407,515<\/strong> for his efforts in the contest.<\/p>\n<p>Ivey wasn\u2019t finished in Montenegro, however, as we\u2019ll get to later.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"yong_outlasts_odwyer_haxton_to_win_6-max_event_for_388k\">Yong Outlasts O\u2019Dwyer, Haxton to Win 6-Max Event for $388K<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The $31K 6-Max tournament was the <strong>smallest<\/strong> event at this year\u2019s Triton Series in Montenegro but it ended up offering one of the<strong> most compelling<\/strong> final tables.<\/p>\n<p>Every name in the final six was a well-known one with Richard Yong, <strong>O\u2019Dwyer<\/strong>,<strong> Isaac Haxton<\/strong>, <strong>Winfred Yu<\/strong>, <strong>Richard Leng<\/strong>,\u00a0and<strong> Wai Chan<\/strong> all competing for the $388k first-place prize.<\/p>\n<p>Yong proved that he could swim with the big fish by beating O\u2019Dwyer heads-up to claim the overall prize.<\/p>\n<p>The Malaysian is still considered a part-time poker player but he has nearly<strong> $8 million<\/strong> in lifetime live-tournament earnings so his status as a recreational player is up for debate. He also helped found the Triton high roller series.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, O\u2019Dwyer earned<strong> $251,719 <\/strong>for finishing second in the tournament and the American is up to a staggering<strong> $23 million<\/strong> in lifetime live tournament earnings.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"badziakouski_wins_249_million_in_main_event\">Badziakouski wins $2.49 million in Main Event<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Mikita Badziakouski is starting to get into<strong> Fedor Holz<\/strong> territory.<\/p>\n<p>The young Belarusian only started playing high roller events in 2015 and has <strong>already earned nearly $10 million<\/strong> in his short time playing the circuit.<\/p>\n<p>Badziakouski, who is known as <strong>fish2013<\/strong> online, outlasted all 63 entries in the $132K buy-in Main Event to take down a hefty <strong>$2.49 million<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The final nine included a murderers\u2019 row of high-stakes pros with <strong>Dietrich Fast<\/strong>, <strong>Manig Loeser<\/strong>, O\u2019Dwyer,<strong> Ivan Leow<\/strong>, <strong>Steffen Sontheime<\/strong>r,<strong> Wai Chan<\/strong>,<strong> Peter Jetten<\/strong>,<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>and<strong> Rui Cao<\/strong> in the mix.<\/p>\n<p>Badziakouski beat online crusher Rui Cao heads-up to close out the tournament.<strong> Cao still locked up $1.6 million for finishing second<\/strong> in the event.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"koon_stacks_35_million_in_short_deck_monster\">Koon stacks $3.5 Million in short deck monster<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Koon has received his share of brutal high-stakes beats over the years but the cards went his way in the mammoth $132k buy-in short deck event to end this year\u2019s Triton series in Montenegro.<\/p>\n<p>The event attracted a 103 entries to create a massive <strong>$12.3 million prize pool<\/strong>, which easily eclipsed the Triton Main Event.<\/p>\n<p>Koon outlasted every single entrant in the contest to rake in a stunning $3.5 million. It\u2019s the <strong>biggest cash in Koon\u2019s career <\/strong>and will take him to <strong>over $15 million<\/strong> in lifetime live tournament earnings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tom Dwan<\/strong>, who\u2019s had a bit of resurgence at the Triton Series in Montenegro, had the unfortunate distinction of getting eliminated by Koon<strong> on the money bubble<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The final table didn\u2019t disappoint, however, with a solid collection of names including Jetten, Rui Cao, Yu, Ivey, and<strong> Xuan Tan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Phil Ivey ended up finishing third to bring his overall haul at the Triton series in Montenegro to<strong> just over $2 million<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a tidy sum considering Ivey\u2019s last publicly recorded tournament cash was back in 2016. That\u2019s not even taking into account <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iOJMS11OJaI\">the sizable side games that were taking place in Montenegro<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>That left China\u2019s Xuan Tan to face Jason Koon heads-up. <strong>Koon had a sizable 2-1 chip lead going into heads-up play<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Tan put in a valiant effort that saw him draw even with Koon but it was at that point the American pro roared back to life and started dominating.<\/p>\n<p>Koon turned a full house with king-queen Tan\u2019s straight with jack-ten to close out the tournament and the series.<\/p>\n<p>Triton\u2019s next series will take place in<strong> Jeju, South Korea<\/strong>, in July.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Triton High Roller Series wrapped
