Klemens Roiter had reached 11 Triton Super High Roller Series final tables without a win, but that drought ended at Triton Jeju II. The Austrian claimed Event #2: $20K NLH 8-Handed for $771,000, finally breaking through on his 12th attempt at a final-table title.
Roiter’s victory came at the expense of Alejandro Lococo, who had produced a dominant run through the final table, eliminating five opponents including a double knockout to reach heads-up as the overwhelming favorite. Lococo, known for a WSOP Main Event final-table run and a $12 million Triton score, entered the heads-up match with a commanding chip lead.
Despite the deficit, Roiter mounted a comeback, doubling up with jack-seven before taking a huge pot with sevens-full to leave Lococo with just one big blind. A flopped pair on the following hand sealed the title for Roiter.
Twenty-five players returned for the day with at least $35,000 guaranteed. Notable eliminations included Triton champion David Coleman, poker veteran Jean-Noel Thorel, and Daniel Dvoress, along with Matthias Eibinger and Christoph Vogelsang, both falling just short of the final table.
Vladas Tamasauskas narrowly missed the final nine, climbing from 24th to finish 10th for $66,000. The final table then saw Lococo take over, eliminating Biao Ding, Jesse Lonis, Justin Chu, and completing a three-way all-in double knockout of Mehdi Chaoui and Justin Saliba with a river flush.
Speaking afterward, Roiter described entering the final day as a midstack with no expectations, crediting his recent hot streak since winning a WSOP bracelet last year. He praised the camaraderie among Triton regulars, calling many of them close friends.
