Alexandre Reard Adds First Triton Trophy to His Rich Collection
The $5K NLH 7-Handed tournament saw 129 entries, creating a prizepool of $597,141. The victory went to the French poker veteran and two-time WSOP bracelet winner, Alexandre Reard.
After a particularly challenging bubble period, Reard reached the 7-player final table, starting from the 6th place. A crucial double-up with K-10 against Ang Yang Siang's pair of 9s got him back in the game and eventually into heads-up.
Reard and Englishman Nicholas Ralph agreed to a deal regarding the prize distribution. In the showdown for the title, Reard triumphed when his A s 2 h held strong against J c 9 c. Alexandre Reard thus not only secured his first Triton trophy but also pocketed $130,500—his second-biggest win of the year.

Rookie Kozlov Dominates Unconventional Format
The Triton One series introduced the new $3K NLH Quest format. Unlike standard tournaments, the objective in Day 1 was to achieve a stack of 1,000,000 chips from a starting stack of 150,000. Upon reaching this goal, players bagged their chips and advanced to the final day with a guaranteed payout.
The tournament recorded 95 entries, leading to a total prizepool of $254,505. Thirteen players advanced to the final day, each assured a minimum payout of $5,100.
The 26-year-old Russian Ivan Kozlov delivered an impressive performance at the final table, entering heads-up with a significant lead against Vietnam’s Nguyen Le.
In the deciding hand, Kozlov’s K h 7 s overcame his opponent’s 8 h 7 h, earning him the well-deserved title. Remarkably, this was only Kozlov’s second tournament at Triton.
