Andre Berg went all-in pre-flop with 6♦6♣, but was countered by Ben Heath's pocket J♠J♦. Berg was eliminated before completing his straight on the river, finishing in fourth place and winning $2,357,000.
In the three-player stage, chip leader Alexey Lozuyk and Mateos engaged in a fierce battle. Heath was quickly eliminated, and Mateos demonstrated superior hand strength, successfully eliminating his opponent and gaining a chip advantage.
In the heads-up match, Lozuyk attempted a comeback, but Mateos quickly built a chip lead and ultimately won with a straight. Lozuyk finished as runner-up, earning $4,316,000, while Mateos took home a whopping $6.37 million.
Adrian Mateos solidifies his legendary status in the Super High Roller series.

Mateos said, "Winning this Triton Invitational was incredibly exciting. Every hand was crucial against the world's top players. I'm very happy to have won the championship."“
This victory not only reaffirms Mateos' dominance in high-stakes tournaments but also adds a significant chapter to his future prospects of being inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame.
