France's Alexandre Reard won Event #20, a $5,000 NLH 7-Handed tournament at Triton ONE North Cyprus, for $130,500. According to PokerNews France, it is his first Triton title and came in his first Triton ONE appearance.
The event ran at the Merit Royal Diamond Hotel & Spa with 129 entries and a $597,141 prize pool shared among 20 players. Reard beat Britain's Nicholas Ralph heads-up, and Ralph collected $110,000.
Reard was near the top all event. When registration closed with 64 players left, he led with 1,580,000 chips (132 big blinds). At 28 players he held 2,690,000, more than a million ahead of the next stack. Once the 20 paid places were reached, Ren Lin moved in front with 3,595,000 to Reard's 2,975,000.
Reard plays for Team Unibet and owns two WSOP bracelets: a $5,000 Freezeout in 2021 ($428,694) and the $10,000 6-Handed Championship two years later ($1,057,663). He had more than $10.5 million in live tournament earnings before the Cyprus festival.
He then entered the $8,000 Main Event, which drew 1,006 entries and paid 159 players, and finished 157th for $12,500. In the same week, fellow Frenchman Julien Sitbon took third in the $6,000 PLO 6-Handed for $80,500. Nikolai Kanunikov won that event for $178,000.
