The Triton Series in Montenegro is over and it may have concluded with one of the toughest final tables we have ever seen.
The Triton Series once again proved a huge hit for the fans, as well as the many players who went home with seven-figures.
Everything seemed like a ‘Main Event’ in Montenegro and the finale of the $200,000 No Limit tournament took some beating.
Wiktor Malinowski prevailed for $4,789,000 – the biggest prize of 2024 so far. But who he beat was something for the ages.
Mikita Badziakouski, Jonathan Jaffe, Jason Koon, Steve O’Dwyer, Mike Watson, Matas Cimbolas, Nick Petrangelo and Adrian Mateos all stood in his way. It may have been the toughest and most accomplished final table in poker history.
Malinowski, known as ‘Limitless’ online, is one of the most feared cash game players in the world. This win now takes his live tournament earnings up to $11,961,431 and doubles his lead on Poland’s all-time money list, making him a tournament End Boss in his own right.
