Benedek Farkas Scores Epic Comeback Win at Triton ONE North Cyprus
Benedek Farkas won the 2026 Triton ONE North Cyprus $10,000 no-limit hold’em seven-max title. The 22-year-old Hungarian player was awarded $572,000 as the champion.
Dmitrii Kukhtarev held the chip lead when the final table began. Farkas was in third when seven-handed play kicked off. By the time the field was narrowed to just three contenders, Kukhtarev had more than three-times as many chips as the nearest contender.
Farkas won a big pot with eights full of queens against trip eights for his opponent. Kukhtarev limped the button with 10♠7♣ and Farkas checked holding 5♦4♥. Farkas told Triton staff after the win, “I had some ideas how he plays. It was a battle. He played well. I think he ran pretty bad [during heads-up]. It was 100 to seven [big blinds] so I needed some luck. But at the end, when we were even, I think I really played well.”

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
