Daniel Dvoress scored a triple knockout at the $150,000 Triton event

Canadian Daniel Dvoress eliminated three opponents with a runner-runner at the Triton Super High Roller Series Jeju II, moving closer to his second title.

Canadian professional player Daniel Dvoress pulled off an impressive triple knockout at the Triton Super High Roller Series Jeju II in South Korea, strengthening his position in the race for a second title at this stop. This episode took place in the $150,000 buy-in tournament — Triton 10th Anniversary Special — and became one of the most talked-about moments of the series. Four-way All-In: The Climax on Day 2 The hand reached its climax on the second day of the tournament, when only two tables remained in play. At that point, it was level 14 with blinds at 10,000/20,000/20,000 (big blind ante). All the action unfolded before the money bubble, adding extra tension for the participants. Sam Greenwood was the first to go all-in, putting his last 255,000 chips in the middle. He was followed by Matthias Eibinger, who shoved for 355,000 from the hijack. Daniel Dvoress, on the button, also moved all-in with a stack of 535,000. Unexpectedly, Patrik Antonius, a poker legend and Hall of Famer, called from the big blind, committing his entire stack of 490,000. As a result, four players saw the flop. Sam Greenwood: K♣Q♠ Matthias Eibinger: 8♣8♥ Patrik Antonius: A♠K♠ Daniel Dvoress: J♦J♥ The flop came 2♦A♥4♥, giving Antonius top pair with his ace. However, the turn 7♥ gave Dvoress a flush draw, and the river — 2♥ — completed his flush. This resulted in a triple knockout: all three opponents were eliminated from the tournament, and Dvoress’s stack grew to 1,700,000 chips. Patrik Antonius’s Unlucky Streak This hand was yet another disappointment for Patrik Antonius at Triton Jeju II. Earlier at this festival, he lost a historic heads-up battle with a $20 million prize pool, dropping $10 million in just a few hours. Later, the Finnish pro busted from another tournament despite flopping a set — his opponent made a stronger full house on the turn and river. Thus, the series in South Korea has been extremely unlucky for Antonius, despite his status and experience. Other Triple Knockouts and Dvoress’s Success at Triton Jeju II It’s worth noting that this was not the first triple knockout at the current festival. In the $40,000 NLH Mystery Bounty event, Wai Kiat Lee, holding pocket aces, knocked out three opponents at once: Samuel Mullur, Seth Davies, and Hall of Famer Phil Ivey. For Daniel Dvoress, the series has been much more successful. Not long ago, he claimed his seventh Triton title by winning the $30,000 NLH 8-Handed event, earning $942,000. Dvoress’s total live tournament winnings exceed $55 million according to Hendon Mob, and he is now seriously contending for his eighth Triton trophy. Tournament Dynamics and Prize Pool At the time of these events, 11 players remained in the tournament, and Dvoress had one of the largest stacks. The Triton 10th Anniversary Special attracted 67 entrants, creating a prize pool of $10,050,000. The winner will take home an impressive $2,765,000.
