Danny Tang and Aleks Ponakovs Claim Major Titles at Triton Super High Roller Series Montenegro

The Triton Super High Roller Series Montenegro continues to deliver massive prize pools and historic moments on the high-stakes circuit. Most recently, Triton ambassador Danny Tang secured the most significant title of his professional poker career by winning the $100,000 Main Event.

Tang outlasted a competitive 159-entry field on Saturday night to claim the first-place prize of $3,522,000. Seven years after coming close to a similar breakthrough victory, this championship triumph pushed his total live tournament earnings past the $42 million milestone. The result also extends his lead at the top of the all-time money list for Hong Kong.

In another marquee tournament at the festival, Aleks Ponakovs emerged victorious in the $150,000 10th Anniversary Special. The tournament generated an $11,400,000 total prize pool after drawing 76 entries, culminating in a final table filled with high-stakes players.

Jonathan Jaffe appeared positioned to secure the title during the latter stages of the event. However, a critical hero call shifted the momentum of the tournament during a dramatic heads-up confrontation. Ponakovs capitalized on the shift, closing out the win to earn a $3,027,000 payout. Jaffe finished as the runner-up, taking home $2,103,000 for his performance.

The series tournament action also includes the $30,000 NLH/PLO event, where Tobias Schwecht leads the final seven remaining players.

Attention now turns toward four-card poker as the $100,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Main Event prepares to kick off at 5 p.m. local time. Regarded as the biggest and most prestigious PLO tournament on the annual poker calendar, the event expects a field of elite high-stakes talent. 

Day 1 of the tournament will consist of ten levels of play, with unlimited re-entries permitted until the start of Day 2, allowing the total field size and final prize pool to grow further.
