    Texas Mike Leads After Day 2 of Triton Million, Dvoress Second

    The action at the Triton Million during the World Series of Poker Paradise is heating up, and Day 2 delivered plenty of jaw-dropping moments. Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas played host to some incredible poker battles, as 67 players returned for Day 2 after 95 entries on Day 1. But here’s the kicker—only one player added an extra $500,000 to their stack, taking the prize pool to a whopping $48,000,000.

    The Road to the Money:

    On Day 2, the stakes couldn’t have been higher. The money bubble was looming, and players knew only 17 of them would walk away with a piece of the massive prize pool. The minimum cash? A cool $755,000. The winner? A life-changing $12,070,000, along with the prestigious Triton Trophy and a coveted WSOP Gold Bracelet.

    Leading the charge into the next stage was Michael Moncek, the Day 1 chip leader, who continued his strong performance, ending the night with 12,500,000 chips. Known for his aggressive, nearly unrelenting play style, Moncek has become a fan favorite, especially after his action-packed performance on Hustler Casino Live. Despite a rough summer, he’s determined to recoup his losses and make this one count.

    Hot on his heels were Daniel Dvoress with 12,350,000 and Alejandro Lococo with 10,775,000, both of whom looked set to challenge Moncek for the top spot.

    Day 2 Drama and Brutal Bustouts:

    Bad beats are part of poker, but in a $500,000 buy-in event, they sting a lot more. Take Michael Addamo, for instance. He pushed all-in with pocket kings, only to see his opponent catch a jack on the river, knocking him out of the tournament.

    Later, Juan Pardo went head-to-head with Moncek in a massive pot. Pardo had pocket aces, but Moncek flopped two pair, sending Pardo packing after the river failed to save him.

    And then there was Jessica Teusl, who went all-in with ace-ten of spades against Phil Nagy’s ace-ten of diamonds. It looked like a chop pot was in store until Nagy hit a flush, eliminating Teusl in the most brutal fashion.

    Other notable players who didn’t make it past Day 2 included Phil Ivey, Daniel Negreanu, Jason Koon, and Patrik Antonius—a real who’s who of poker legends.

    Bubble Chaos:

    The bubble is always a tense time in any tournament, and the Triton Million was no exception. With 20 players remaining and 17 making the money, the action was fierce. Nick Petrangelo made a bold all-in move with ace-ten, but Daniel Dvoress called with pocket jacks, leading to an unforgettable showdown.

    Artur Martirosian also joined the fray with ten-nine suited, and after a dramatic board run, Dvoress made the call for the double elimination. Just like that, the field was reduced to 18 players, each inching closer to the money.

    But it wasn’t over yet. Ryan Feldman, owner of Hustler Casino Live, found himself all-in against Lococo on the bubble, holding a flush and straight draw. Unfortunately for Feldman, the river didn’t come through, and he was eliminated as the dreaded bubble boy.

    The Final Countdown:

    The night ended with just 14 players remaining, all of whom have secured at least $792,000. But the real prize—$12,070,000—is still up for grabs, as the remaining players return for the final day of action. The tournament resumes on December 9 at 12:00 p.m. local time, and with blinds at 125,000/250,000, we can expect more intense drama as the competition heads into the home stretch.

    Will Moncek continue his dominance, or will someone else rise to the occasion? Stay tuned as the final showdown unfolds!
