Anonymous Wins $1.4 Million In High Stakes Triton Poker Pot-Limit Omaha Tournament

Anonynmous Bested A Field of 112 Entries In The $50,000 PLO Event To Secure His Largest Score Ever


Anonymous took down the 2025 Triton Poker $50,000 PLO event for $1,360,000.

The top 19 finishers earned a share of the $5.6 million prize pool in this event, with notables like Chris Brewer (18th), Chance Kornuth (17th), Lauaro Guerra (16th), Isaac Haxton (15th), Santhosh Suvarna (10th), Patrik Antonious (8th), and Eelis Parssinen (7th) running deep.

Six-time bracelet winner Jeremy Ausmus was the first to fall at the official final table, with his AClub SuitQDiamond Suit10Club Suit4Spade Suit unable to fade the QHeart Suit6Club Suit5Club Suit4Heart Suit of Xu Liang. Ausmus earned $318,000 as the sixth-place finisher. This was already his fifth final-table finish of 2025, with one title won earlier this series in a $25,000 no-limit hold’em event that sported a $1.9 million top prize. Ausmus now has $2.6 million in to-date POY earnings and 3,546 points, enough to keep him atop the POY leaderboard.

Tom Vogelsang got the last of his short stack in preflop with AHeart SuitQHeart SuitQClub Suit2Diamond Suit facing the ASpade SuitJSpade SuitJHeart Suit9Heart Suit of Jouhkimainen. The Finn made aces and nines to win the pot, sending Vogelsang to the rail with $408,000. The Dutch pro moved inside the top 30 in the POY race with three final tables and one title in 2025.

Despite scoring a few early knockouts at the final table, Xu was the next to be sent packing. His last ten big blinds went in with KClub Suit10Heart Suit5Heart Suit4Club Suit trailing the KHeart SuitKDiamond SuitQDiamond Suit2Diamond Suit of Gruffudd Pugh Jones, who made queens full of deuces to lock up the pot. Xu was awarded $505,000 as the fourth-place finisher.

Jones slid down the chip counts during three-handed play. The UK resident ended up getting the last of his short stack in with pocket kings, but was beaten by a flush for Jouhkimainen. Jones was awarded a career-best payday of $611,000 for his third-place showing.

Heads-up play began with Jouhkimainen holding a 3:1 chip lead over anonymous. The two were soon in a dead heat, though, thanks to a double up with pocket aces for the Hungarian. After some back-and-forth, anonymous held a slight lead in time for the final hand of the tournament.

Anonymous limped from the button with ASpade SuitADiamond SuitQSpade Suit9Club Suit and Jouhkimainen raised from the big blind with KSpade SuitQHeart Suit10Spade Suit6Diamond Suit. Anonymous limp-raised and Jouhkimainen called to see a flop of KClub Suit10Diamond Suit3Spade Suit. The chip got in right there with Jouhkimainen’s kings up in the lead for the time being. The 9Spade Suit on the turn gave both players flush draws, with anonymous’ being best. He also had outs to trips, a straight, and higher two pair. The last option is what would up coming in thanks to the 3Club Suit, which gave anonymous aces and threes for the win. Jouhkimainen earned $930,000 as the runner-up, a new high score for the bracelet winner from Helsinki.
