Jeremy Ausmus Wins First Triton Title in Record-Breaking Event; Career Score for Wolfgang
Table Of Contents
The Triton Poker Jeju festival in South Korea continued to be one of the most exciting high-stakes festivals of the year with record-breaking numbers, big-name winners and new faces to the international high roller circuit.
Jeremy Ausmus won his first Triton title and second high-stakes tournament of the year in the $25,000 buy-in Event #3 for $1,892,000, while Azerbaijan’s Ramin Hajiyev took down the $30,000 buy-in Event #5 for $1,517,000.
Vloggers Shine in Triton
Event #3 drew 392 runners to set a new attendance record for Triton. According to Triton updates, Ausmus’ maiden Triton victory came after he made a “misclick” with pocket kings by putting out the wrong size for a raise and being forced to call. The rare mistake from the elite American pro was the result of jetlag and tiredness, Triton reported.
The victory brings Ausmus his second trophy of the year after winning the PGT Championship for $ 500,000, continuing to make the strong case for being a first-ballot Poker Hall of Famer.
The high roller tournament field included top pros like Phil Ivey (38th - $52,000), Kristen Foxen (41st - $45,000) and recent GPI Toughest Opponent winner Adrian Mateos (24th - $71,000).
There was also a Triton newcomer in Alexander “Wolfgang” Seibt, one of the most popular poker YouTubers in the world, who finished fourth for a career-best $680,000. That’s more than ten times his second-biggest score, which he earned days earlier in event #2 as he finished 22nd for $62,000.
Another popular poker vlogger, Ethan “WPT123” Yau, also cashed in Event #2.
Wolfgang nearly took a bad beat he’d remember for a lifetime as he was all in with pocket kings against the nines of Quan Zhou with 11 players left. His opponent flopped a set to take the life out of the poker vlogger, but the board ran out a straight for a chopped pot.
