$15.000 Triton ONE High Roller
490 entries had created a prize pool of $6,9 million and 24 players remained for yesterday’s final, where they played for the victory and the winner’s prize of $1.330.000 million.
With Manuel Fritz, Klemens Roiter, and Christopher Nguyen, three DACH players were still in the mix, and Bryn Kenney started the race as the chip leader.
Klemens Roiter from Austria had to say goodbye in 12th place, for which he received an $82.000 payout. Christopher Nguyen from Germany made it a bit further and received $287.100 for 6th place. Unfortunately, we then also lost the last DACH player in the field, as Manuel Fritz from Austria was eliminated in 4th place for $466.000.
The day’s chip leader, Bryn Kenney, exceptionally did not make it to the top and busted the tournament in 3rd place for $891.000 after a 3-way deal. In heads-up play, Malaysian Siang Ang Yang (39 BB) and US pro Isaac Haxton (22 BB) faced each other.

The chip lead changed in dramatic fashion when Yang slow-played his aces and Haxton won an all-in with trip tens on the river. But it went back and forth a few more times before all the chips finally sat in front of the likeable Siang Ang Yang. For the win, he received $932.000, while Isaac Haxton also collected $940.000 for the runner-up position.
