Benedek Farkas Wins Triton ONE $10K 7-Handed for $572,000
Benedek Farkas won the $10,000 seven-handed event at Triton ONE North Cyprus on November 11, earning $572,000 after overcoming Dmitrii Kukhtarev heads-up. The event drew 324 entries and built a $2,945,484 prize pool, according to Triton’s official report.
Kukhtarev entered heads-up with roughly a 12-to-1 chip advantage, but Farkas worked back into contention and won when his turned straight held against Kukhtarev’s rivered two pair. It was the Hungarian player’s first Triton ONE title. The payout is a gross tournament prize, not a measure of profit.
A North Cyprus championship
The seven-handed tournament extended to a third day after the large field. Kukhtarev led the final seven, while Farkas began the final table third in chips. The runner-up received $362,000, according to the published final-table payouts.
The result adds another major title to the North Cyprus festival, where Zhou Quan won the $5,000 Mystery Bounty earlier this week.
