2019 Triton Super High Roller Series London Thursday, August 1 through Thursday, August 8. + Get the Ultimate Beginner’s Guide to Texas Hold’em - FREE! Short Deck Hold’em – also known as Six Plus (6+) Hold’em – is No-Limit Hold’em played with a stripped-down deck. All of the deuces to fives are removed to make the total deck just 36 cards. That means some pretty big changes to the poker hand rankings, game dynamics and to standard Texas Holdem strategy. Triton Million London: 15+ Charities to Share $2.7m as The Distribution Plan is Released. When Triton’s co-founders, Paul Phua and Richard Yong, considered hosting a £1m buy-in event, “CHARITY” was the first sticky note to land on the brainstorming whiteboard.

This marks the first win for Kenney at a Triton Poker event and has soared past $32 million in live tournament cashes after the victory. Kenney's previous best result at a Triton Event was when he finished runner-up in the 2016 Triton Poker Super High Roller Series Philippines HKD 500,000 Main Event for HKD 10,870,700 ($1,401,694).

Kenney appeared to care more about what he described as ferocious and strong play rather than the result.

'I made a lot of really good value bets, really good bluffs, played really ferocious, feel real strong,' Kenney told Triton Poker after the victory. 'When you get in such a zone for a while, you can only really think about cards. I feel great, just because I only really care about how I play.'

The second and final day began with 24 hopefuls battling it out for what promised to be the first seven-figure score this festival. Xuan Tan and Erik Seidel entered the day as the two chip leaders but neither were able to find a cash with nine players slated to win at least a min-cash of HKD 1,080,000 ($137,646).

Cheong Cheok Ieng was the first player to cash in ninth place followed by Danny Tang taking home the eighth-place prize of HKD 1,410,000 ($179,705).

Flush†

Triton Co-Founder Richard Yong was the first to go on the seven-max final table for HKD 1,820,000 ($231,959) after he got his short stack in with pocket nines only to run into the aces held by Daniel Dvoress.

A similar fate took place shortly after for Christoph Vogelsang who got his short stack in with pocket fours only to be dominated by the pocket sixes held by Jason Koon. By holding on a little longer than Yong, Vogelsang laddered up to sixth place for HKD 2,300,000 ($293,135).

Four Of A Kind

Koon's quest to add a fourth Triton Poker title came to a screeching halt right after. He was eliminated in fifth place for HKD 2,970,000 ($378,527) after his jacks were no good against Kenney's kings.

Sergio Aido was the next to go in fourth place for HKD 3,820,000 ($486,859). He jammed his short-stack with ace-three but didn't hold after getting a call from Dvoress with king-five.

Straight Flush

Dvoress then took out his third opponent at the final table; Ivan Leow. The latter took bronze in the event for HKD 5,070,000 ($646,172) after his jack-ten proved to be no match for Dvoress' pocket queens.

Dvoress held a 5:3 chip advantage entering heads-up play before Kenney was able to gain the chip lead. On the final hand, Kenney rivered a flush with ace-six to eliminate Dvoress and win the trophy. The runner-up performance for Dvoress still awarded the Candian handsomely with his biggest single result of his poker career of HKD 7,430,000 ($946,954).
