Triton Million Hands of the Week: Ivey Loses $1,000,000; Brutal Bubble Bustout for Ryan Feldman

Level 13 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

The 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise, which is taking place on Paradise Island in The Bahamas, got off to a big start with the $500,000 buy-in Triton Million, which marked the WSOP's first partnership with Triton Poker.

It was a unique tournament that paired an invitee with a poker pro – each putting up a $500,000 buy-in – and then competing in respective fields on Day 1 before combining on Day 2. The tournament, which was being live reported by PokerNews, featured 74 players (37 pairs) and much to our surprise saw two players get their chips all in on the very first hand of the tournament.

It was a big hand, but just one captured by the PokerNews Live Reporting Team. Here is a look at five other either big or game-changing hands from the Triton Million.

Level 14 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Matthias Lipp raised to 90,000 in middle position and Alan Keating three-bet to 200,000 on his left. The action folded back to Lipp who slid out a stack of chips and Keating called off his last 200,000 chips.

Alan Keating: Q♦8♦ All in
Matthias Lipp: A♦J♥

The flop fell J♦9♦4♠ to give Keating a straight flush draw despite Lipp flopping top pair. The 5♣ on the turn bricked out and the A♣ on the river only improved Lipp to two pair. Keating was eliminated and wished his table good luck before leaving the room for the final time in this Super Main Event.

Level 14 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Cards were on their backs at showdown and Alexandre Raymond was seen dragging in a sizable pot with pocket kings against Gabriel Shohet's pocket aces on a board that read 9♥5♣K♥J♦10♣.

Jacob Stone recapped the action for PokerNews after the hand. According to Stone, Maksim Shuts opened with a raise from under the gun and Shohet flatted in early position.

Stone then called behind in the hijack and Raymond squeezed in the small blind with a raise to 480,000. Shuts got out of the way, Shohet moved all in for over 2,000,000, Stone folded, and Raymond called.
