Alin Ivan Wins Triton ONE QQPK Genesis for $450,000
Alin Ivan won the $3,000 QQPK Genesis at Triton ONE North Cyprus on November 8, earning $450,000 after a 912-entry field built a $2,443,248 prize pool. The tournament opened the festival at Merit Royal Diamond, according to Triton's official result.
A final day shaped by one major call
Six players returned for an added third day. Ivan eliminated Chen Peng in sixth place and Zhang Yang in fifth, then took the lead during three-handed play by calling a large river bluff from Viktor Kudinov with second pair. The call changed the balance of the final table before Ruslan Kasper fell in third for $191,000.
Ivan defeated Kudinov heads-up. Kudinov received $272,000 for second, while Ivan collected the Triton ONE and QQPK trophies. Triton's report and an independent recap identify the runner-up as Viktor Kudinov; one sentence in Triton's report uses a different first name, so this account follows the result caption and corroborating report.
A large opener for Triton ONE
The 912 entries produced a prize pool above $2.4 million at a $3,000 buy-in. Triton lists 558 re-entries within that total; entries therefore should not be read as unique players. The win gave Ivan a new career-high tournament payout, according to the organizer.
The North Cyprus festival continues with the $8,000 Triton ONE Main Event later in the week. The QQPK Genesis result is a completed title; subsequent festival winners will be separate developments.
