Triton: Mario Mosböck GGMillion$ champion, made $1,191,196
Today was the final day of the record-breaking $25,000 buy-in Triton GGMillion$ Live tournament. It brought in more than 300 entries for the first time in Triton history, 305 to be exact, sharing a prizepool worth $7,625,000.
How did the final day go?
There was a $1,485,000 bounty awaiting the winner and the top 6 players battled it out on the final day. Sergio Aido entered the final day as the chipleader with a stack of up to 26,375,000. At the other end, with just a 5-blind stack, was Austrian player Mario Mosböck.
| Name | Country | Stack |
| Sergio Aido | Spain | 26.375.000 |
| Adrian Chua | Singapore | 18.325.000 |
| Daniel Dvoress | Canada | 10.600.000 |
| Alex Theologis | Greece | 10.350.000 |
| Timothy Adams | Canada | 7.450.000 |
| Mario Mosböck | Austria | 3.150.000 |
If you were expecting Mario Mosböck to be the one to go first to the cashier, you are mistaken. The first player eliminated was Timothy Adams, who picked up $345,000 for sixth place at the cashier.
An awkward 3-way all-in situation
He was followed to the cashier a short time later by his compatriot Daniel Dvoress, who took home $452,000 for fifth place. In four-player play, we saw a 3-way all-in situation with Mario Mosböck and Adrian Chua fighting for tournament life. However, Mario hit a set here and busted out to a stack of 32 million, which was the second largest stack at the time. Adrian Chua took home $573,000 for 4th place and Alex Theologis fell to less than 4 blinds.
The very next hand, Alex Theologis said goodbye to the tournament. He was sent home by Sergio Aido, who hit an ace on the river with A-9 to handily beat Alex's pocket sixes. Theologis took home $707,000.
From 5 blinds to the final heads-up
Spanish player Sergio Aido and Austria's Mario Mosböck faced each other in the final heads-up. Sergio started here with a 47 blind stack against Mario's 30 blinds.
The players made a deal here, after which Sergio Aido secured $1,237,804 and Mario Mosböck made $1,131,196. That left 2 trophies for the winner to play for, plus an extra $60,000. The hand lasted about an hour, during which time the chips were moved from side to side. In the end, Mario Mosböck took the lead and never let go of the chance to win his second title.
On the last hand, Mario found pocket sixes under his hand, so he opted to go all-in for 40 million. Sergio immediately called with A-K, leaving his stack worth 34 million. Although the flop brought a flush draw, in the end Mario's sixes held and Mario Mosböck became the Triton champion for the second time. As a result, he will take home $1,191,196 from the GGMillion$ and two trophies to boot.
Vienna-based players thrive at Triton
"It's an amazing feeling," Mosböck said. "I did really well today... I've never had more than 20 big blinds since the bubble. I've always been short. But there's still a lot of wiggle room."
His title is thus the third success for the Vienna-based group of players who arrived together at Triton Jeju. The first champion was Fedor Holz, followed by Roland Rokita, and now Mario Mosböck is the champion as well.
Mario concluded by saying that it was only with the support of his Viennese friends that he decided to play the biggest buy-in tournaments at all. "All the guys are really smart, really smart. They want to compete at the highest level... If it was just me, I'm not sure I would play Super High Rollers. But you can talk to people about how you feel and your concerns. They can give you feedback. It was a community decision. They said, come on, you're good enough."
