A Russian heads-up in the Triton One women's tournament
The $3000 One-W Championship women's tournament at Triton One turned out to be a success for the debutantes. Russians Elena Yasyuchenya and Ksenia Kolotyuk played at the Triton Series for the first time and immediately made it to the heads-up.
Ukrainian Diana Kaletina failed to reach the final table, busting on the bubble at the hands of Lily Tang. And it was exactly the 7 finalists of this tournament, which drew 42 entries, who made the money.
At the final table Yasyuchenya took the lead at 5-max, then knocked out WSOP champion Jessica Teusl and former chip leader Lily Tang, setting up a heads-up against Ksenia Kolotyuk.
The clash between the two Russian players lasted just one hand. Kolotyuk, with 19 BB, was dealt A♠️A♥️, while Yasyuchenya, with a 33 BB stack, had 4♠️4♥️. On the 4♣️9♥️7♥️6♣️ turn Kolotyuk shoved and got a snap-call. But the 7♣️ river only improved Yasyuchenya to a full house.
Ksenia Kolotyuk earned $25,500 for second place, while Elena Yasyuchenya took $35,500, doubling her personal best cash. The champion shared her emotions right after the win:
"Of course, I'm happy and I feel amazing. I'm very glad I was able to win. Most of the girls are really good players, so it was tough to take it down. And of course, I was happy that two Russian women met in the heads-up. Merit is an amazing place for poker players. This is my first experience playing Triton ONE, and I'm very happy."
