For the fourth time this series the Triton High Roller in Jeju has commanded a record field.
This time it was in the $100,000 PLO Main Event which attracted a field of 91 entries, making it the biggest six-figure PLO tournament in poker history.
It was Spanish professional Sergio Martinez who would take it down, defeating Ding Biao heads-up for $2,340,000.
He commanded a huge chip lead throughout the tournament but was on the brink of elimination when he got heads-up, even telling his girlfriend to go back to bed rather than watch him play on (she didn't).
This event marks the fourth record-breaking field this month in Jeju. The opening event was the biggest field in Triton history, a feat which was broken again shortly after, and finally, the $100,000 Main Event was the biggest six-figure event of all time.
At the time of writing the series is concluding its final event and we eagerly await the announcement of the next one.
