The poker dream is alive and well as a satellite winner has taken down a Triton event.
The nosebleed poker series, normally just the domain of High Rollers, has seen some record attendances this month and that has included a number of $100,000 package winners.
That included British streamer Mark Rubbathan who won the $20,000 Mystery Bounty event over the weekend.
He defeated a final table that included Daniel Dvoress, Tim Adams, and Wiktor Malinowski to capture the title, $396,000, and $240,000 in bounties.
Rubbathan may be a satellite qualifier but he isn't an unknown. He is a popular cash game streamer known as 'Weasel' online. These stakes might not be normal for him but he did not look out of his depth at all.
“It is all completely surreal,” Rubbathan said after the win and before the bounties were drawn. “I don’t know what to say, other than this was a really good time to run better than I’ve ever run in anything. I absolutely sun-run the final table. I’ve got 400K and the trophy, so I’m happy. That’ll work.”
