Spain's Jon Ander Vallinas won Event #16 at Triton ONE North Cyprus, a $2,000 NLH One Night, for his first title on the circuit. The top prize was $61,000, according to PokerNews Español.
The tournament was played on November 10 and drew 143 entries, building a prize pool of $264,836. Eight players reached the final table. Vallinas beat Russia's Sergey Rumyantsev heads-up, and Rumyantsev took $42,000 for second place. Thailand's Punnat Punsri finished third for $28,000.
Vallinas had come close in the Triton Poker Series before. In March he finished second in the Triton ONE Main Event in Jeju for $1,337,000 after a heads-up deal, and Zhao Wenjie took the title. A few days later he was runner-up again in the $25,000 Jupiter Event behind Zhou Quan, earning $863,000. In September he added $60,000 at the Triton Super High Roller Series in Jeju.
The result extends his lead in the Player ONE standings. One of his closest pursuers is Zhou Quan, who recently won the $5,000 Mystery Bounty at this same stop.
The festival is held at the Merit Royal Diamond Hotel & Spa in North Cyprus. Triton ONE began on November 5 and runs through November 15, with the $8,000 Main Event's final day scheduled for that date. The Triton Super High Roller Series follows from November 15 to 30.
