Tim Adams wins Triton Poker London Main Event
The Super High Roller crusher may be $4 million richer but it was an insane hand earlier in the day that got the poker world talking.
The US Dollar is still flying around the Triton Series in London like it is Monopoly money and yet another star of the game has added to his pile.
Tim Adams defeated a field of 97 to take down the $125,000 Main Event for $4,185,000 at a final table that included Daniel Cates, Stephen Chidwick, Doug Polk, Isaac Haxton and heads-up opponent Jean-Noel Thorel.
It was the biggest cash of his career and puts his career earnings up to $36,727,006. This is his 2nd Triton Main Event victory after he also took down the Jeju Main Event in 2019.
The most memorable part about this nosebleed event, however, was this insane hand that will go down in the history books as one of the craziest preflop hands ever seen on live stream:
