International Poker NewsTriton Jeju II | Daniel Dvoress goes all-in on the river with a triple flush, propelling him into the leading group in the $150K High Roller event.
Daniel Dvoress, holding JJ, was overtaken by Patrik Antonius's AK flop in a four-way all-in. He eventually made a flush with consecutive hearts on the turn and river, eliminating three opponents in one hand.
On September 17, 2026, Day 2 of the Triton Super High Roller Series Jeju II $150,000 10th Anniversary Special saw a rare four-way all-in that instantly reshaped the game. Daniel Dvoress, holding JJ, faced three high-stakes players: Patrik Antonius, Sam Greenwood, and Matthias Eibinger. Initially behind on the flop, he secured a flush with hearts on the turn and river, eliminating all three opponents in one hand.
This massive pot propelled Dvoress to a chip lead of 1,700,000, placing him among the tournament leaders. Even more noteworthy is his previous victory at this year's Jeju II event: the $30K NLH 8-Handed title with $942,000, making him a strong contender for his eighth Triton title.
The $150K 10th Anniversary Special Tournament attracted 67 participants, with the prize pool exceeding ten million US dollars.
This is a high-stakes tournament that Triton is launching to celebrate the brand's 10th anniversary:

Outside the prize pool, four players went all-in, putting three players in danger of elimination.
This hand occurred at level 14 of Day 2.
The blind betting at that time was:
10,000 / 20,000 / 20,000
The tournament is still outside the money circle, with only two tables remaining.
Sam Greenwood only has:
255,000
They went all in first.
Matthias Eibinger, holding 355,000 in the HJ position, also opted for an all-in bet.
The operation brought Daniel Dvoress to the BTN location, where he possessed:
535,000
Push all the scoreboards in again.
It was already a three-way all-in, but Patrik Antonius in the BB position still chose to join the battle, calling with 490,000.
Four world-class high-stakes poker players simultaneously revealed their cards.

Dvoress was ahead pre-flop with JJ, but he had to dodge a lot of outs like A, K, Q and 8 against three opponents.
The first key high card appeared quickly.
The flop of Ace of Hearts gave Antonius the lead, and AK gave him the advantage.
Flip the card:
2♦ A♥ 4♥
After A♥ landed, Patrik Antonius's A♠K♠ directly hit a pair of A's, overtaking Dvoress's JJ.
At this point, Antonius had the strongest hand among the four players.
Greenwood's KQ is not paired, Eibinger's 88 is also behind, and Dvoress must wait for the remaining two Js, or for the board to form other possible reversals.
However, the turn of the clock opened up entirely new possibilities for Dvoress.
The turn card is 7♥, and Dvoress suddenly gets a flush draw.
Turn Card:
7♥
The public sign already exists at this time:
A♥ 4♥ 7♥
And Dvoress happens to possess:
J♥
This allowed him to go from relying solely on pocket Jacks to adding a large number of heart river cards to his play.
If the river card is another heart, he can complete a J-high flush.
Antonius was still leading with a pair of Aces, but the game had entered a truly high-volatility river phase.

Final community cards:

Dvoress completed the task with the J♥ in her hand:
J-high flush
They overtook Antonius's two A's, as well as two other opponents.
With Dvoress's 535,000 chips covering the other three, he completed a rare feat directly:
Triple kill
Sam Greenwood, Matthias Eibinger, and Patrik Antonius were all eliminated.
After one hand, the score reached 1.7 million.
After taking an all-in from all four sides, Dvoress's scoreboard skyrocketed to:
1,700,000
This hand also propelled him into the leading group of the game.
From pocket Jacks in a four-way all-in, to being overtaken by AK on the flop, then getting a flush draw on the turn and finally completing the flush on the river, the outcome of the entire hand wasn't completely determined until the very last card.
For a super high-stakes tournament with a buy-in of $150,000 and a prize pool of over $10 million, a hand that eliminated three players at once directly altered the chip distribution in the latter half of Day 2.
Patrik Antonius Jeju Station suffers another blow
For Patrik Antonius, this all-in finish was just another painful exit from the Jeju Grand Prix.
This Poker Hall of Fame member had previously participated in a historic match against Ossi “Monarch” Ketola:
$20 million Heads-Up
Ultimately, they lost within just a few hours.
$10 million
Later, he hit a set on the flop in another tournament, but his opponent improved on the turn and river, eventually making a bigger full house and eliminating him.
In the $150K 10th Anniversary Special, Antonius had AK and hit an A on the flop, but was then defeated by Dvoress who turned the river and hit consecutive hearts to complete a flush.
This is the second time in this year's Triton tournament that a player has achieved a "triple kill" with a single move.
This is not the first time that Triton has eliminated three players at a time at Jeju II.
Previously, the $40,000 NLH Mystery Bounty also saw a four-way all-in.
At that time, Wai Kiat Lee received:
AA
Simultaneously facing:
Samuel Mullur
Seth Davies
Phil Ivey
Three opponents.
Lee's AA maintained a lead throughout, eliminating three players and securing three bounties under the Mystery Bounty format.
In contrast, Dvoress's triple kill was more convoluted – his JJ was overtaken by Antonius's flop of an Ace, and he only managed to turn the tide with a flush on the river.
Dvoress has now won her seventh Triton championship.
Daniel Dvoress's current situation in Jeju stands in stark contrast to Antonius's.
Earlier in this series, he had already won:
$30,000 NLH 8-Handed
champion.
He defeated Xuan Liu in Heads-Up, and his achievements were:
$942,000
And increase his career Triton title count to:
7 seats
Now, in the $150K 10th Anniversary Special, he has once again reached the top of the chip count with a four-way all-in triple kill, giving him the opportunity to win his second title of the year and his eighth Triton title.
The total prize money for live tournaments has exceeded $55 million.
Dvoress has long been one of the most consistent participants in the world's ultra-high stakes championships.
As of this report, his Hendon Mob live tournament winnings have exceeded:
$55 million
Triton was a significant source of his career prize money.
From the seven championships already won to reaching the deep ranks again in this $150K special event, Dvoress's long-term stability in the Triton system remains quite outstanding.
Eleven players remain to compete for the $2.765 million prize.
At the time of PokerNews's publication, only the following remained of the $150K 10th Anniversary Special:
11 contestants
Dvoress built a large chip lead with this four-way all-in, remaining in contention for the championship.
The ultimate champion of this match will receive:
$2,765,000
For Dvoress, if he can continue his upward climb after this triple kill, he will not only achieve two titles in a single event, but also further increase his career Triton title count to eight.
From being behind on the flop with JJ to completing a flush on the river and eliminating three world-class players, this hand has become one of the most important turning points in this $150K 10th Anniversary Special.
