Foxen was eliminated by Tollerene.
Foxen was eliminated with 17 big blinds when chip leader Ben Tollerene raised from the cut position. Action fell to Foxen, who, after looking at her cards, decided to go all-in. Tollerene called without hesitation, and Foxen, with only about 23% of equity, ultimately failed to turn the tide and left the game disappointed.
After this game, Tollerene's chip stack reached an astonishing level. 29 millionThey held the vast majority of the 44.5 million chips, giving them a significant advantage. Philip Sternheimer followed in second place, with Elton Tsang in third.
Sternheimer's incredible comeback: four goals sent Punsri packing.
Before Foxen's elimination, the tournament had already witnessed an incredibly dramatic hand. Punnat Punsri went all-in from the small blind, and Philip Sternheimer called. At the start of the flop, Sternheimer shook his head and smiled wryly, thinking all hope was lost—but then two Jacks appeared on the turn and river, giving him quads and completing a dramatic comeback, eliminating Punsri in fifth place. Punsri was eliminated in disappointment, and even his "lucky" doll couldn't bring him good fortune.
Foxen's biggest mistake of the day: dropping KK
Early in the final table, the most talked-about hand of the day occurred, and it was also a rare mistake by Foxen. Amidst a multi-player battle—Felipe Ketzer going all-in from UTG, Elton Tsang calling, and Sternheimer re-raising—Foxen folded—holding a pair of Kings.
Even more regrettable is that if she had chosen to continue, the final hand would have given her a top three of a kind, which would not only have won her hand but also significantly increased her chip stack. This folded decision, in hindsight, is truly regrettable.
Tollerene dominated the three-way match, securing her fourth Triton Championship.
The three-way battle lasted for nearly an hour, with Tollerene's advantage remaining unchallenged. Ultimately, he defeated Elton Tsang with the strength of his hand, eliminating him and establishing a chip lead of over 4:1 to enter heads-up play. Faced with such an overwhelming gap, Sternheimer, despite a valiant effort, was unable to replicate his miraculous comeback.
$3,800,000 The champion's prize money is also Tollerene's highest single-event prize money record to date, adding another glorious chapter to his Triton legend.
