Stephen Chidwick raised to 225,000 under the gun and Kannapong Thanarattrakul called on the button, leaving himself 50,000 behind. Alex Foxen also called in the big blind.
The flop came 10♦10♣2♣ and Chidwick bet 150,000. Thanarattrakul tossed in his last chips, while Foxen got out of the way.
Kannapong Thanarattrakul: K♠10♠ 
Stephen Chidwick: Q♠Q♦
Chidwick showed down a pair of queens, but Thanarattrakul had flopped trips and stayed in the lead through the 8♣ turn and 2♦ river to virtually triple up.

The remaining 15 players have taken their seats and the final day of the Triton Main Event is now underway.
Level: 21
Blinds: 50,000/100,000
Ante: 100,000
The World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise series is underway, and poker players attending should be aware of a rule change that will impact the use of electronic devices at the table.
Jonathan Tamayo won the WSOP Main Event for $10 million this past summer in Las Vegas. Controversy surrounded the victory after poker fans noticed his rail, which included poker pros Joe McKeehen and Dominik Nitsche, had a laptop open with apparent real-time assistance (RTA) software visible.
Tamayo would occasionally converse with his rail during the final table, and that led some to question if he had an unfair advantage. But no one has presented any evidence to prove he broke any rules or won the tournament because of an edge gained from his rail. Still, the WSOP did not have a rule in place to prevent potential controversies such as this from arising. They do now, however.
There are a few other additional new rules for the series, including banning electronic devices at the table altogether when a tournament is down to three tables. Players are also not permitted to place their cell phones or any electronic devices on the table or table rail during play.
Updates will be provided on a 60-minute delay to match the Triton Poker stream. Stay tuned for the action.
The third and final day of the $100,000 Triton Main Event at the 2024 World Series of Poker Paradise is set to resume at 12:00 p.m. local time at Atlantis Paradise Island Bahamas. Only 15 players are returning from a huge field that started with 182 entries. The remaining competitors all have their eyes set on the $3,850,000 top prize out of $18,200,000 prize pool, along with the coveted WSOP gold bracelet and Triton Series trophy.
The overwhelming chip leader heading into Day 3 is Ossi Ketola (8,415,000), who finished runner-up in a Triton event last month for nearly $3,000,000. He looks to avenge that second-place finish by closing out today with a victory to capture what would be his career-best score.

Fedor Holz (5,405,000) is no stranger to competing at the highest level and enters the day sitting comfortably in second. He looks to use his experience in the high stakes arena, as well as his healthy chip stack to propel himself to another victory.
Seth Davies (3,570,000) rounds out the top three in the counts. He has racked up multiple seven-figure scores in the last several months alone and looks to continue his heater by ending the year with another big win.
