Ivan Kozlov Wins Inaugural Triton ONE Quest for $67,000
Ivan Kozlov won the first Triton ONE Quest tournament at Merit Royal Diamond in North Cyprus, collecting $67,000 from the $3,000 no-limit hold’em event. The new format drew 95 entries, including 27 re-entries, and built a $254,505 prize pool.
Quest changed the path to Day 2. Rather than play to a fixed stopping point and bag their remaining stacks, players advanced as soon as they reached one million chips. Thirteen players hit that target and secured a payout before the second day began.
A first title in a new format
Kozlov began the final table near the bottom of the chip counts but recovered to reach heads-up play against Nguyen Le. He took the title while Le received $47,000 as runner-up. Triton says the victory came in only Kozlov’s second tournament on the tour.
Triton’s official tournament report confirms the result, entry count, prize pool and Quest qualification rule. The organizer’s festival guide identifies Merit Royal Diamond Casino & Resort in Kyrenia as the host and lists Quest for November 11–12.
North Cyprus festival continues
The win came during the November 5–15 Triton ONE stop. Earlier in the same festival, Benedek Farkas won the $10,000 seven-handed event for $572,000. The $8,000 Main Event remains in progress.
