Roman Hrabec has won his second Triton Super High Roller title after taking down Event #3 – $40,000 Mystery Bounty for $622,019.
The Czech star is one of the hottest properties in high-stakes tournaments right now and he banks the third largest cash in his career.
Hrabec was up against Samuel Mullur for the title and the pair agreed an ICM chop to end matters peacefully.
The field was an impressive 155 entries, building a prize pool of $3,100,000.
Action Recap
Only 27 players would be getting any prize money and it was Mikita Badziakouski and Lewis Spencer who just crept past the bubble.
Seth Davies, Sam Greenwood, Hossein Ensan and Christoph Vogelsang, and Alex Theologis would all narrowly miss out on a place at the final table.
When the action resumed, it was Samuel Mullur leading the way with a huge lead.
Ren Lin barely lasted a few hands before being sent to the rail with an $84,000 prize.
Play then slowed right down as Mullur’s lead increased making everyone wary of making moves.
Thailand’s Punnat Punsri broke the deadlock when his ace-ten came up second best against the kings of Artur Martirosian.
The Russian’s luck wouldn’t last, though, because he too was on his way after running into the trips of Hrabec and a dominating ace of Mullur.
Ossi Ketola picked up his first Triton cash after busting in fifth for $207,000. Luc Greenwood tried his luck with K♦ 6♠ but Hrabec called him with K♣ 9♣ which knocked the Canadian out.
By now Hrabec had edged into a slender lead over Mullur while Morten Klein only had half of the leader’s stacks.
But when Klein finally looked down at a decent hand in pocket jacks, Hrabec turned a full house and sent his rival home with $318,000.
Mullur and Hrabec are both top online MTT players now getting noticed in these huge events. With that in mind, they both quickly agreed to chop based on ICM, leaving $35,000 to play for along with the title.
Hrabec built on his lead over the first few hands before Mullur found himself all-in. The Austrian jammed with A♣ 9♦ while Hrabec called him off with Q♦ 10♥ and found a ten on the flop.
Fortunately for Mullur, an ace turn saw him back in with some hope.
But only a few hands later, Hrabec won a large pot to see him with a three-to-one chip advantage.
It was all over when Hrabec’s 10♣ 9♥ hit the flop of 8♦ 10♦ 9♣ while Muller was crossing his fingers with 7♦ 4♦
The turn and river helped neither player and Hrabec now had a new trophy for his cabinet.
