The first day has come to an end in the Triton £100,000 No-Limit Hold'em Main Event with 59 remaining of the 122 total entries by nights end, and the player to bag the biggest stack is China's Tan Xuan with a healthy lead going into the final day. Xuan has over three million in live earnings, most of which coming in Triton events. His biggest cash to date came in May of last year when he was the runner-up in the HK$1,000,000 No-Limit Hold'em - Short Deck Ante Only, for an immense $ 2,308,384.
Xuan went on an absolute heater during the latter stages of Day 1, knocking out multiple people en route to bagging the lead, including Triton co-founder Richard Yong. Xuan moved Yong all in with jack-five on a two spade board and Yong snap-called jack-nine. Yong was in the lead until Xuan spiked a spade on the river, adding another late pot to his chip lead stack with the elimination and Xuan kept his foot on the gas peddle until the end of the final level, bagging 1,612,000.
Sitting right behind the chipleader is a familiar face in Timothy Adams who has been on a heater thus far in the series, cashing the first two events for a total of over two million. The Canadian pro is a regular to the Triton events and is surely someone to watch for tomorrow as the action unfolds. He will be starting the day with 1,273,000 and all the momentum in the world to take down the event.
Among others to make it to the final day on the top side of the leaderboard are Kyle Carlston (1,207,000), Matthias Eibinger (1,123,000), and Michael Chi Zhang (1,008,000) rounding out the top five and are the only other players to break a million in chips.
Some other notable pros to make Day 2 include Sam Greenwood (911,000), Mike Watson (869,000), Stephen Chidwick (838,000), Ben Heath (768,000), Daniel Dvoress (749,000), Daniel Cates (711,000), Peter Jetten (632,000), Kahle Burns (560,000), Fedor Holz (513,000), and Mikita Badziakouski (488,000).
The all-time money list leader Bryn Kenney hit the late registration button, settling for 345,000 when it was time to bag up. Kenney is fresh off an insane cash in the Triton Million - A Helping Hand for Charity for $20,563,324. The biggest prize ever awarded in a poker tournament, which was more than enough to overtake Bonomo on the money list. Kenney shows no sign of letting anyone catch up, as he is already in the next tournament available just one day after the incredible feat.
The tournament saw a total of 122 entries by the end of the night, living up to the Triton standard and is sure to exceed all expectations with the late registration period open until the start of the second day. There were 59 runners to make it through on the first day, and the number will only increase by the time late registration ends tomorrow, increasing the massive prize pool by that much more. A total prize pool and payouts list will be posted immediately after the second day of this event starts.
Day 2 will begin at 12 p.m. local time, resuming at blinds of 5,000/10,000 with a 10,000 big blind ante. Levels will remain 50-minute in length and there will be a 15-minute break after every two levels. A dinner break is not scheduled as of yet, but that is subject to change based on the players. All players will receive another five time extension cards to add to whatever remained of the original ten they started the first day with, and another five once the final table has been set. The play will not halt until the winner is crowned and a trophy is given away.
The PokerNews live reporting team will be bringing you all of the coverage as the day unfolds, so stay tuned for updates on all of the action.
