Phil Ivey Triumphs On Triton Poker, Takes Home Third Title

Poker legend Phil Ivey has once again proved why he’s one of the top poker pros in the world. Ivey is now a three-time champion at the Triton Super High Roller Series. Not only that, but all of Ivey’s three Triton Poker wins have come from short-deck events. This not only confirms that Ivey is a great poker pro but also a versatile one.

The American poker player is now one of the few people to hold three Triton Poker titles. In the ongoing Triton Super High Roller Series in Cyprus, Ivey won his third short-deck tournament. The event was the $30,000 Short Deck Ante Only tournament and there was a total of 38 entries that participated. The prize pool reached $1.14 million. Ivey reached the event’s final table with players Tom Dwan, Canadian high roller reg Sam Greenwood, Daniel Dvoress, Kiat Lee from Malaysia, and Mikita Badziakouski.

The Win

After making it to the final table heads up, Ivey was playing againt Sam Greenwood. The poker legend flopped trips and then rivered quads and denied Sam Greenwood his first Triton Poker title. Ivey shipped the title for a first-place prize of $387,000. While Greenwood walked away with $268,000 in the runner-up position.

Commenting on his win, Ivey said, “I love playing short deck. It’s a great game, so I’m very happy.” Speaking of his opponent, he also said, “He’s a tough player, plays back at you a lot.”

Ivey won his first Triton Poker short deck title in 2018 at Montenegro and his second one in April of this year at Cyprus.
