Triton’s Final No-Limit Hold’em Event Concludes in Monte Carlo
The curtain closed on the No-Limit Hold’em events at the Triton Super High Roller Series in Monte Carlo as Event #12: $150,000 crowned its champion. With 121 entries (66 unique), the tournament generated a staggering $18,150,000 prize pool, awarding $4,350,000 to the winner. Emerging victorious was Vladimir Korzinin, affectionately nicknamed ‘Gambledore’ by fans, who showcased masterful play to claim his first Triton title.

Korzinin’s Meteoric Rise in Poker
A newcomer to poker, Korzinin’s rapid ascent to the top of the high-stakes tournament scene culminated in this monumental win. Entering the final table in fifth place, he unleashed a string of well-timed moves to outlast a star-studded field, including poker icons like Sam Greenwood, Stephen Chidwick, and Fedor Holz.

Final Table Action: From Short Stacks to Stacked Pots

Early Eliminations Set the Tone
Korzinin wasted no time in asserting dominance, notching the first elimination of the final table. After calling Thomas Boivin’s all-in with a flush draw, Korzinin hit a magical river card to eliminate Boivin and seize the chip lead. Moments later, Korzinin faced off against chip leader Sam Greenwood. A dramatic hand saw Greenwood shove all-in with a powerful draw, but Korzinin’s top pair held, knocking Greenwood out in eighth place.

Three-Way Clash and the Fall of Fuchs
Korzinin continued his streak by engaging in a massive three-way confrontation against Tom Fuchs and Fedor Holz. While Holz survived with his pocket pair, Fuchs was not as fortunate, bowing out in seventh place as Korzinin extended his lead.

The End of Dan Smith and Stephen Chidwick
Dan Smith became Korzinin’s next victim after the latter’s aggressive play turned the tide on a two-pair showdown. Chidwick, however, fell to Ossi Ketola in a blinds battle, exiting in fifth place.

Outmaneuvering the Main Event Champion
Bryn Kenney, the Triton Main Event champion, found himself up against Korzinin’s relentless aggression. Despite holding a slight edge preflop, Kenney couldn’t escape the magic of ‘Gambledore,’ who landed a river flush to send him to the rail in fourth place.

Holz’s Final Stand
Fedor Holz, a consistent threat at any final table, managed to climb from a short stack to third place. However, his luck ran out in a clash with Ketola, who paired up on the flop and sent Holz packing.

Heads-Up Duel: The Wizard vs. The Wild Finn
The final battle between Ketola and Korzinin delivered fireworks. Despite Ketola taking an early lead, Korzinin clawed back with calculated aggression. A pivotal all-in saw Korzinin survive with a straight, setting the stage for the final hand. After trapping Ketola with a flush on the river, ‘Gambledore’ sealed his victory, leaving Ketola to settle for a runner-up finish.
