Newsletter ｜ David Yan won the $200,000 luxury competition with a prize of more than $3 million.

　　David Yan, a New Zealand player, won the biggest purchase in the Triton London Series so far.

　　This victory is hard-won.

　　Although it was "expensive", the competition attracted many contestants. It was a 14-hour fierce competition.

　　When there were three people left in the game, they negotiated for about an hour.

　　In the end, the three contestants reached an agreement, which means that Yan won 3,052,002 dollars, Barbero won 3,445,807 dollars, and Espen Jorstad, the third party of the agreement, locked in 2,766,191 dollars.

　　The agreement was completed, and Espen Jorstad was quickly eliminated in the third place.

　　Yan and Argentina's Nacho Barbero won the championship after a fierce peak matchup.

　　After winning the championship, Ya is preparing to take part in tomorrow's Luxon Invitational Tournament, which will be even bigger than this one, but he expressed the hope that today's achievements can continue.

　　"I believe in the momentum, so I hope I can keep it up. We are only halfway through the race, so there are still many games to play."

　　This $200,000 tournament attracted all the names you can think of, including a few people who squeezed in at the last chance this afternoon.

　　By the deadline for registration, there were 81 contestants, including 30 re-contestants, with a total prize of 16.2 million US dollars. The first prize is as high as $4.3 million. No one can get so many bonuses this week except the winner of Luxon Invitational Tournament.

　　Most players will go home empty-handed. For example, Yuri Dzievielski only played one hand, but in this kind of competition, it is not shameful to fall in front of the reward circle. This week's three winners-Jason Koon, Fedor Holz and Ole Schemion-and Phil Ivey were all eliminated before the bonus was distributed.

　　Mikita Badziakouski, a four-time champion, unfortunately became a "bubble". Before the flop, he used all seven pockets and was called by Espen Jorstad, a small blind position. The other side showed AK, and a K in the river card blocked his way forward.

　　When dinner time was coming, suddenly, two players Seth Gottlieb and Seth Davies were out at the same time.

　　The final eight teams were finalized and arranged as follows: Espen Jorstad-61 BBS Nacho Barbero-46 BBS David Yan-38 BBS Chris Brewer-37 BBS Danny Tang-37 BBS Tim Adams-23 BBS Aleks Ponakovs-15 BBS Juan Pardo-13 BBS.

　　As you can expect, in the final table, the prize money spans far more than $150,000 each time, which makes the rhythm on the field more rigorous than other events.

　　Even so, Juan Pardo's scoreboard is too few to continue to support. He matched Yan's K-10 with K-6 before the flop and finally fell to eighth place.

　　Brewer performed well this summer, but he failed to win the key flip at the final table. His pocket 10 was badly damaged after losing to Adams' AQ, and was sent away by Danny Tang in the seventh place.

　　Ponakovs, who also didn't have many scoreboards, didn't last long and fell to sixth place. His A2 played with Yan's K8 before the flop, but Yan hit his K.

　　Barbero doubled Yan's body to give himself some breathing space, and then made a huge leap, knocking down A8 of Danny Tang of Hong Kong with AK.

　　Danny Tang became the first millionaire in this competition. He won a prize of $1,247,000.

　　After a few more laps, the scoreboard continued to balance. Barbero actually took the lead, and the four contestants agreed to talk about the distribution of bonuses and look forward to reaching an agreement. At this time, they had the following scoreboard and spent an hour negotiating:

　　Yan – 34 BBs

　　Barbero – 45 BBs

　　Adams – 20 BBs

　　Jorstad – 30 BBs

　　However, they were deadlocked and everyone had to continue the game.

　　Soon after, Adams fell to Barbero and the negotiations started again. Barbero now has 55 big blind people, which is more than the sum of Yan and Jorstad. They tried to close the deal again-this time they succeeded. Barbero locked in $3,445,807; Yan will receive $2,952,002 and Jorstad will receive a guarantee of $2,766,191. The prize of the champion is $100,000, plus the trophy.

　　The clock ticked past 2: 00 in the morning, and everyone was booked to participate in the Luxon Invitational Tournament within 12 hours. So they also agreed to shorten the length of the level.

　　The modified structure seems to have achieved the expected effect, because the pace is faster.

　　In the end, Yan's pocket 9 matched Jorstad's pocket Q, and the public card issued four hearts, while Yan held the only one in his hand to form a flush.

　　Jorstad's incredible week went on, but he had to accept the result.

　　Jorstad's elimination made Yan the scoreboard leader. 47 BB is 34. But they played for about an hour before the next major confrontation and took the lead several times.

　　Then came the final showdown: Barbero's K?6? versus Yan's A?4?.

　　After the public sign was issued, Yan won his biggest Triton prize and the first trophy of his career.
