Malaysian Kiat Lee won $619,000 and claimed his fourth Triton Poker title
Malaysian Kiat Lee has won the $40K NLH Mystery Bounty event at the Triton Poker series in Jeju. He took home $619,000 for first place. The event drew 133 entries. On the bubble, Lee was on the verge of elimination with a stack of under 5 BB, but managed to win a critical all-in and break through to victory.
The key moment of the tournament came in a hand at the pre-final table stage, with 11 players left. Holding pocket aces, Lee knocked out three opponents at once — Seth Davies, Samuel Mullur and Phil Ivey. That triple knockout earned him a massive stack, three bounties and the chip lead going into the final table.
Among those eliminated in the top 25 was Aleksey Boyko, who finished 21st for $31,000, while Artur Martirosyan bowed out before the money.
In addition to the main prize, Kiat Lee won eight bounties. The final envelope-opening ceremony, where the minimum knockout prize is $40,000, will take place tomorrow.
