Ben Tollerene stages a comeback to win the $50K Triton Turbo Race.

Ben Tollerene won the Triton Jeju II $50,000 Turbo Bounty Quattro event, earning $652,000 (including bounty), and defeated Daniel Rezaei in heads-up play to win his fifth Triton title.

Ben Tollerene further solidified his reputation as one of the world’s top tournament players early Wednesday morning in South Korea by winning the $50,000 Turbo Bounty Quattro event at the Triton Super High Roller Series Jeju II.

The American player won the $412,000 prize money plus the $240,000 bounty, staging a spectacular heads-up comeback against Daniel Rezaei to secure the championship. This victory adds another successful Triton Series event to the player's resume, bringing his total to four cashes at this event, including three final table appearances.

In a post-match interview with Triton, Tollerene said, "I had a lot of fun, I feel very motivated, and I'm actually not entirely satisfied with my performance, so I'm very motivated to improve and keep working hard."

"I feel great, it's a shame there's no PLO, I'd like to play more... I'm just trying to get enough sleep and go to the gym. I've been doing this for a long time, it feels a bit normal. I feel good."

Tollerene turns the tide

This single-day event attracted 35 players, including top poker stars such as Phil Ivey, Adrian Mateos, and Mikita Badziakouski, all eyeing this fast-paced tournament. Ultimately, six players secured their prizes, and the final table began with nine 1TP 4T 60k bounties.

The first major action came when Ivey was bubbled in the final table bounty, his pocket threes defeated by Daniel Dvoress's flush on the river. Fellow crushers Stephen Chidwick and Dvoress himself were subsequently eliminated by Rezaei and Tom Fuchs respectively, sending the tournament into a true bubble.

Emilien Pitavy became the bubble terminator, covering Mike Watson (who tripled) in a triple bet, but not Rezaei, who received another bounty envelope, ensuring that all six remaining players were guaranteed to win.

Rezaei held a chip lead among the highly talented final six, but it quickly became a four-man affair, with Tollerene pulling off a stunning double-kill shortly after the final table began.

Pre-flop all-in, Watson's 4♥4♦, Fuchs' K♦5♦, and Tollerene's A♠8♠ made it to the board Q♣A♥2♠Q♠K♣, giving everyone two pairs. However, Tollerene made the best hand with his Ace, sending the American to the top of the chip count and earning two bounty envelopes in the process.

PLO legend Eelis Parssinen was then eliminated in fourth place by Ding Biao, followed by Ding Biao, the runner-up of the Triton Invitational, being eliminated by Rezaei, thus determining the final two.

This gives Rezaei a commanding 4-1 lead over Tollerene when the match goes into heads-up play, making for a coveted Triton champion vs. Triton champion showdown for the $412,000 champion prize.

Tollerene went all-in multiple times in the tournament, then completed a crucial double with a 6-5 Q-6 against Rezaei, decisively turning the tide in the hands of the American.

A few hands later, it all ended when the Austrian player ran into A♥K♥ with A♠5♠. Neither player connected with the dry board, but Tollerene's superior kick sealed the victory, earning him the $412,000 jackpot, bounty, and his fifth Triton title in his illustrious career.
