Timothy Adams has actually won the 2nd Triton Main Event of his profession, taking the title in the $125,000 buy-in Triton Poker London Main Event on Monday for $4,185,000. His previous success was at Jeju (South Korea) in 2019, where he won $3,536,550; he is simply the 3rd gamer to win 2 Triton Main Events.
Adams entered into the last table about in the middle of pack in chip counts, well within reach of the chip leaders. It was Jean Norel Thorel, however, who had a considerable chip lead entering into heads-up play, 24 million to Adams’ 13 million. And Adams was just that close thanks to getting rid of Daniel “Jungleman” Cates in 3rd location.
Adams doubled-up relatively rapidly, when both he and Thorel tumbled leading set, however Adams had the much better kicker.
On the last hand, Adams had a minor lead, 20.250 million to 17.525. And after that he, by his own admission, got fortunate. All the chips got in the middle pre-flop, Thorel with Nines and Adams with Eights. Thorel’s competition life was on the line, however he was a substantial preferred to maim Adams. The flop was 7-K-Q, the turn a 6, and the river … an 8.
Adams looked shocked, nearly like he will weep either from happiness or grief that he pulled such a gut-punch card on Thorel. Thorel looked better than Adams (Thorel appears like a hell of an excellent sport– he even postured in the winner’s image with Adams and his good friends).
“When we got it in it was a little a cooler,” Adams stated in his post-tournament interview. “I believed that would be it for me. I could not think it when I smashed the 8 on the river.”
“I’m simply lost for words since that was outrageous that I won this one. It was a fight heads-up. Jean Noel, hats off to him. He is a crazy rival, incredibly hard to bet.”
“JNT is so unforeseeable,” Adams included. “That’s how he plays. He put me in numerous hard circumstances. I do not understand if I made the best fold or a bad fold.”
That last hand wasn’t the nuttiest one of the last table. Juan Pardo, who ended up sixth, raised to 400,000 pre-flop with Kings. Thorel three-bet to a million with Aces and after that Stephen Chidwick, who wound up 5th, four-bet to 2.3 million with A-K. Cates then awakened with Jacks, however seeing all the action prior to him, he chose somebody needed to have a beast (he was ideal) and folded. It was Pardo’s turn, however Thorel revealed he was all-in for 7 million out of turn, which triggered Pardo to fold his Kings.
Chidwick called, having Thorel covered, and might not overtake his controlled A-K.
