David Yan Wins $3,052,002 at Triton Poker Super High Roller London

David Yan has banked $3,052,002 after taking down the $200,000 Triton Poker Super High Roller London NL 8-Max event. The tournament attracted 51 players who added another 30 in rebuys to build a prize pool of $16,200,000.

Incredibly, 46 out of the original 51 starters were still in the mix as Day 2 kicked off. This made for a slow start to the action as all the players wanted to make it worth their while for coming in to play. Steadily, though, as the stacks got shorter and shorter, players began to head to the rail one-by-one and soon there were only four left. It was at this point a discussion started over a deal but no agreement could be made.

But when Timothy Adams was on his way out, the remaining three quickly struck a deal and then played it out for the viewers and the bragging rights. The remaining three players — David Yan, Nacho Barbero, and Espen Jørstad — played out the final session for the viewers and the bragging rights.
