Final Table Nears as 15 of the World's Best Return for Day 3 of the $100,000 Triton Main Event
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.
