Triton Poker Jeju: Sam Greenwood leads day 1 of the HKD 2m NLHE Main Event

The Triton Poker Series in Jeju moves into it’s final few days of action with Sam Greenwood leading a field of 22 players after Day 1 of the HKD 2,000,000 (USD 255,000) Main Event.

A few days ago, jet-lagged, hungry, and ready for bed, Sam Greenwood, snagged the chip lead at the end of Day 1 of the HKD 500,000 (USD 64,000) No-Limit Hold’em 6-Handed. It didn’t work out for the Canadian after he busted well short of the money, and he will be hoping to tweak that déjà vu, later today.

Greenwood is the man everyone is trying to catch at the end of Day 1 of the HKD 2,000,000 (USD 255,000) No-Limit Hold’em Main Event. It’s the final competition of the Triton Poker Series, Jeju, and it attracted 44 entrants, including a rather expensive HKD 8,000,000 (USD 1,019,000) contribution from Ivan Leow.

Players through to the final day include the HKD 500,000 (USD 64,000) Six-Max Champion, David Peters (742,000), the HKD 100,000 (USD 12,500) Short-Deck Champion, Nick Schulman (407,000) and former Triton Poker Champion Phil Ivey (230,000).
