Daniel Dvoress won the $30,000 no-limit hold’em eight-max event at the Triton Jeju II, earning $942,000 and 924 Card Player Player of the Year points for the win. This victory marks his seventh Triton Poker title, bringing his total to seven titles from 11 final-table finishes on the year.

Liu settled for $638,000 as the runner-up.
