The Triton Super High Roller Series in Jeju delivered another exciting set of high-stakes results this week, with four Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO) champions crowned.

The highlight was, of course, the $100,000 PLO Main Event, where Sergio Martinez emerged victorious over a record field. The tournament saw a total of 91 entries, making it the largest six-figure buy-in PLO tournament in history.

In other events, there were victories for Tom-Aksel Bedell, Lautaro Guerra and Gergo Nagy, while poker legends Phil Ivey and Erik Seidel also made final table appearances.

Martinez Bags $2.34 Million in $100k PLO Main Event

Spain’s Sergio Martinez has emerged victorious in the biggest-ever $100K PLO event, claiming his first Triton Super High Roller Series title in style. The high-stakes tournament, featuring 91 entries, generated a record-breaking $9.1 million prize pool. Martinez took home $2.34 million and a prestigious Jacob & Co timepiece awarded to Triton Main Event champions.

Martinez dominated much of the final table, holding an overwhelming chip lead for long stretches. However, a resilient Ding Biao, a two-time Triton champion, mounted a fierce comeback in heads-up play.

Biao famously denied Phil Ivey a year ago in Jeju, and was on the brink of another victory, only for Martinez to battle back dramatically before sealing the win.

The final table saw a strong Chinese presence with Huang Wenjie, fresh from his victory in the $100,000 NLHE Main Event, the first elimination at the final table.

He was joined by Lin Wei and Zhikang Dai at the final table, with Ding ultimately finishing runner-up for $1.61 million, while Lin Wei secured third place and a career-best $1.05 million.

Third-Oldest Triton Champion Ever as Bedell Clinches First Title

At 64 years old, Norwegian poker pro Tom-Aksel Bedell has made history as the third-oldest champion in Triton Super High Roller Series history, capturing the $25K PLO title in Jeju.

Only Richard Yong and Vladimir "Gambledore" Korzinin were older winners, with Korzinin 69 years old at the time of his victory four months ago.

Despite starting the final table as chip leader, Bedell’s path to the title was anything but smooth. He saw his stack dwindle to near elimination before mounting a remarkable comeback, navigating a wild final table, and securing a $709,000 payday after eventually defeating China’s Shi Ning Dan in a short but intense heads-up battle.

Shi, competing in his first-ever Triton event, impressed with a runner-up finish worth $486,000, while British PLO specialist Richard Gryko claimed third place for $320,000. The final table featured poker legends Phil Ivey and Erik Seidel, with Ivey even holding the chip lead five-handed, but both fell short.

Event #13: $25,000 PLO

Nagy Flips the Script with Heads-Up Victory Over Jouhkimainen

Gergo Nagy turned the tables on Joni Jouhkimainen to claim the title in the Triton SHRS $50,000 buy-in PLO event in Jeju.

The two had previously faced off in the Super High Roller Bowl Series in Cyprus, where Jouhkimainen came out on top. This time, Nagy exacted revenge, claiming $1.36 million for first place, while Jouhkimainen earned $930,000 for second.

The tournament drew 112 entries, creating a prize pool of $5.6 million. The final table saw a number of skilled PLO players, including Patrik Antonius, and Eelis Parssinen. Jeremy Ausmus, who had already won a title earlier in the trip, finished sixth.

As the final table progressed, the chip lead fluctuated, with Gruff Jones briefly taking control before being eliminated in third place for $611,000. The heads-up match between Nagy and Jouhkimainen featured dramatic shifts in chip stacks, but Nagy would ensure his revenge, cracking Jouhkimainen's aces int he final hand to secure victory.

Event #15: $50,000 PLO

Spain at the Double! Guerra Wins PLO Bounty Quattro

Lautaro Guerra of Spain claimed victory in the $30,000 PLO Bounty Quattro event at the Triton Super High Roller Series Monte Carlo, taking home $783,000, including $280,000 in bounties.

The tournament saw a total of 100 entries, generating a prize pool of $3 million, with $1 million allocated to bounties. An impressive performance saw Guerra eliminate six opponents en-route to victory, with three knockouts occurring in consecutive hands at the final table.

The victory meant a double for Spain, with compatriot Sergio Martinez' PLO Main Event victory coming just hours earlier. Start-of-day chip leader Alex Foxen could only manage third place, with Canada's Sam Greenwood the eventual runner-up, eliminated heads-up in just a single hand by eventual champion Guerra.

Guerra picked up the lion's share of bounties ($280,000) while Alex Foxen and fourth-place finisher Gavin Andreanoff ($160,000) also picked up healthy additional bounty prize money.
