Australia’s David Wang finished as runner-up after only joining the event at the last minute when he busted from another final table just in time. Triton co-founder Paul Phua took the final step of the podium.
Nagy is beginning to like the Jeju venue. He won his maiden title there last year, after cashing in all three of his events, and now he racked up another three cashes plus his second Triton win.
He was clearly thrilled during his winner’s interview as he explained just how well he ran during the event and paid tribute to his fellow Hungarian PLO masters who push him to ever greater heights.
“I was definitely running pure. It was a crazy roller coaster honestly. It was a rough start, I just doubled up one guy, but after that I ran pure basically. I caught quite big hands. I also played OK, so that’s all.
“But definitely they are giving me enough motivation to push myself. I would like to be the No 1 in Hungary, honestly.”
Action Recap
The 54 entries built a prize pool of $1,620,000 with $560,000 of that set aside for the bounties. Only nine players would receive a payout from the main prize pool of $1,060,000, but there was still plenty to be won from the bounties.
The official final table of seven was set after Artur Maritosian, fresh from his win in the $25,000 PLO event, knocked out Phil Ivey in ninth and then Eelis Parssinen in eighth to claim the first two bounties.
| Player | Chips | BBs |
| Artur Martirosian | 2,560,000 | 51 |
| David Wang | 2,250,000 | 45 |
| Paul Phua | 1,970,000 | 39 |
| Gergo Nagy | 1,940,000 | 39 |
| Lautaro Guerra | 985,000 | 20 |
| Robert Cowen | 890,000 | 18 |
| Alex Foxen | 205,000 | 4 |
Alex Foxen‘s four big blind stack was never going to go anywhere at this table and he failed to add to his Triton tally, going out in seventh.
Brit Robert Cowen is fitting in well among the tough Triton fields but sixth was the best he could do today after Paul Phua rivered a straight to send him out in sixth for $66,000 and no bounties.
Now it was Maritosian’s time to suffer some misfortune this week. He might have won the Player of the Year award and won his third Triton title but Gerg0 Nagy relieved the Russian of his last 22 big blinds.
Maritosian saw a flop of J♦ Q♥ 5♣ with Q♦ 9♠ 8♦ 7♠ and decided to go with it. Sadly for him Nagy’s K♠ J♣ 10♠ 8♣ made a straight on the A♣ K♦ run out. $85,000 for fifth place and $80,000 in bounties was still a respectable day.
Spain’s Lautaro Guerra was out close behind Maritosian after Paul Phua crippled him in a huge pot.
Nagy finished the job for his last 12 blinds when his K♥ Q♥ J♣ 5♣ came out on top against A♦ K♣ Q♣ 4♣. $109,000 from the main prize pool and an extra $40,000 in bounties was still a good day.
Paul Phua was now aiming to be the second Triton co-founder to win in Jeju after Richard Yong’s victory, and it was going well. But then Nagy took 20 blinds from Phua’s 30-blind stack to leave him open to losing the other 10 only three hands later.
$305,000 for third place and $160,000 in bounties is a great result but Paul Phua is itching to get that second Triton title on the board.
The heads-up battle was a massacre. Nagy had 97 blinds to David Wang’s 11 and there was nothing to be done.
The end came when Wang’s 5♣ 6♦ 7♥ 8♠ failed to overcome Nagy’s 10♣ Q♦ K♦ A♠. He scooped $262,000 with $40,000 coming from bounties.
Nagy took the largest prize with $510,000 and $200,000 from the bounty pool.
