Event #6: Dan Dvoress Wins $30,000 NLH 8-Handed for $942,000
Dan Dvoress came into Jeju II as the dominant force in the Triton Season 5 Player of the Year race after winning three events at Montenegro in May, something no player had done at a single Triton festival before. He added a seventh career title in Event #6, winning the $30,000 NLH 8-Handed for $942,000 and defeating fellow Canadian Xuan Liu heads-up.
The win was framed as revenge: Liu had beaten Dvoress heads-up at Montenegro last year to become the first woman ever to win a Triton title. This time, Dvoress led the field from Day 1 and won on the opening hand of heads-up play. The event drew 135 entries for a $4,050,000 prize pool. The win extended his lead in the Ivan Leow Player of the Year standings heading into the final events. Full results at the Triton Poker Series.
