The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10pokersites.net\/top-10-us-poker-sites\">American poker<\/a> pro just won <em>Event #3: $75,000 Short Deck<\/em> at the <strong>Triton Poker special edition series<\/strong> in North Cyprus. <\/p>\n<p>He topped a field of 51 players and outclassed <strong>Wai Kiat Lee<\/strong> heads-up to take home $1,170,000 in top prize and his fourth title in the hugely popular format.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"final-action\">Final Action<\/h2>\n<p>The 51-entry field dwindled to just 11 when Day 2 of the tournament began. <strong>Daniel Cates, Chis Brewer, Mikita Badziakouski and Wai Kin Yong<\/strong> failed to reach the money after being eliminated before the 7-handed final table was formed. <\/p>\n<p>Ivey scored the first elimination, sending <strong>Ivan Leow<\/strong> to the rail in 7th place for $194,500. The Poker Hall of Famer went on to eliminate <strong>Richard Yong<\/strong> who finished 6th for $241,000. His knockout streak continued with the elimination of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10pokersites.net\/news\/jason-koon-believes-he-can-run-100m-sprint-in-10-9-seconds-in-latest-prop-bet\">Jason Koon<\/a><\/strong> who earned $315,000 for his 5th-place finish. At this point, Ivey grabbed the chip lead previously held by <strong>Mike Watson<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The next player to go was <strong>Elton Tsang<\/strong>, courtesy of the eventual runner-up Wai Kat Lee. Tsang bowed out of the game in 4th place with $408,000 in winnings. Ivey then finished off Watson who settled for 3rd place, collecting $538,000.<\/p>\n<p>Heads-up play began with Ivey significantly ahead in chips and the action didn\u2019t last long as Lee was eliminated right in the first hand. The Malaysian poker pro walked away with $840,000 for his runner-up finish. <\/p>\n<div style=\"position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:56.25%\">\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3yI4C66nVls?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0?ecver=2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;left:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"iveys-impressive-short-deck-record\">Ivey\u2019s Impressive Short Deck Record<\/h2>\n<p>Ivey\u2019s latest victory further cemented his reputation as one of the world\u2019s best Short Deck players, with his most recent tournament wins coming in the action-packed format. <\/p>\n<p>In August 2021, he took down the <em>$25K Short Deck tournament<\/em> at the Super High Roller Bowl Europe in Kyrenia, Cyprus for $408,000.
