The first Pot-Limit Omaha event in Triton Poker Series history goes the way of Malaysia as Hing Yaung Chow defeats Ben Lamb heads up to bank the HKD 2,640,000 ($343,200) first prize. 

Ben Lamb is a former World Series of Poker (WSOP) Player of the Year with close to $10m in earnings. Back in 2011, when he earned the drapes that coat the insides of the Rio, he won his only bracelet – the $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO) Championship.

When the organisers of the Triton Poker Super High Roller placed PLO onto the schedule for the first time, Lamb was always going to be in it, and one of the favourites to win it.

Hing Yaung Chow, on the other hand, is not a former WSOP Player of the Year, he has never won a bracelet, and until right now, this minute, as you read this over your bowl of cornflakes you’ve likely never heard of the man, and that’s the beauty of this incredible series.
