While the attention of the poker world was fixated on the ��1,050,000 Triton Million �C A Helping Hand for Charity, won by Chinese businessman Aaron Zang while Bryn Kenney took runner-up, a couple of other big buy-in events from the partypoker LIVE Triton Poker Super High Roller Series London festival were in the process of crowning their champions.

Linus Loeniger Wins Triton Poker ��25,000 Event

The ��25,000 No-Limit Hold��em Turbo was scheduled to be completed in one day, but had to be paused with seven players remaining as a handful of those at its final table were set to compete in the series�� biggest event.

Linus Loeliger was the chip leader when the curtain came down at the end of Day 1, and he kept up that momentum to triumph over his remaining six opponents and secure a ��690,000 prize, the Swiss pro��s largest-ever live cash.

Michael Soyza was the first player to bust on Day 2 on Aug.4, a result that netted him ��122,300. The Malaysian pro was joined on the rail by Kahle Burns who banked ��160,000 and British high stakes cash game guru Elior Sion whose fifth-place netted him ��202,900.

America��s Cary Katz took his lifetime winnings past the $20 million mark when he collected ��251,500 for his fourth-place finish before Timothy Adams added ��307,000 to the ��1,400,000 he won in the Triton Million event.

Adams�� exit left Lucas Greenwood and Loeliger to battle it out heads-up for the title. Greenwood crashed out in second-place for ��466,600, the second-largest cash of his career, only surpassed by the $779,268 he banked for winning the $25,700 High Roller at the 2017 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure.

Loeliger was the man of the hour and padded his bankroll with ��690,000; although this was only part of the story.

Charlie Carrel Wins Triton Poker ��50,000 Event, Secures His Largest-Ever Prize

British superstar Charlie Carrel got his hands on his largest-ever live poker score when he took down the Triton Poker Super High Roller Series London ��50,000 Eight-Handed event. A total of 66 players made 43 re-entries between them to create a ��5,123,000 prize pool shared among the top 15 finishers.

Austria��s Matthias Eibinger then exited in fifth-place for a ��386,000 addition to his bankroll and was followed to the sidelines by Kahle Burns who took home ��481,500 from this event after banking ��160,000 from the ��25,000 Six-Max Turbo.
