History will be made today at the London Hilton on Park Lane Grand Ballroom where the Triton Million London is about to kick off with 54 of the world’s best players and wealthiest businessmen taking place at the tables.
We’ve already discussed the rules and the pairs of the invitational event, where the dress code, the shot clocks and the separated ‘rec’ and ‘reg’ tables will make the atmosphere different from the regular high-rollers.
The stream will be hosted by Nick Schulman and Ali Nejad as the commentators, joined by Liv Boeree as the presenter for the opening day.
In the meantime, the £25K NLHE Turbo has reached its final table, with online superstars Linus ‘LlinusLlove’ Löliger leading the field. Linus – who’s considered as the best no-limit hold’em player in the world – will return to the final day with 5,055,000 on the 50k/100k blind level.
He’s followed by Canada’s Lucas Greenwood, who has 4.4 million and Timothy Adams, who has 4.09 million.
