Artur Martirosian’s dominance at Triton Monte Carlo has been nothing short of extraordinary, as he continues to solidify his reputation as one of the game’s elite. Adding a second title to his resume with a $525,000 hit, including $180,000 in bounties, Martirosian has proven himself a master of the PLO Bounty format. His relentless drive and ability to perform under pressure have positioned him as a strong contender for Player of the Year, even as the leaderboard remains undecided.

The astonishing rise of Vladimir Korzinin at the Triton Super High Roller Series in Monte Carlo has left the poker world in awe. Just months ago, he was a complete newcomer to the game, with no professional experience or significant background in poker. Yet, in a shocking turn of events, the 69-year-old Estonian defeated some of the game’s most renowned players to claim a $4.35 million prize. His victory, which followed a surprising runner-up finish in a previous event for over $3 million, describes the unpredictable beauty of poker—where even the most unlikely contenders can emerge victorious. In a fittingly humble gesture, Korzinin handed over the tournament trophy to his opponent, Ossi Ketola, with a simple remark: “I have no room for that.” It’s clear that Korzinin’s story is only just beginning, and the poker community is eager to see what the future holds for this extraordinary late-blooming champion, whose favourite hand is equal to his age 6-9!
