Dan Colman Wins Triton Super High Roller Series Six Max
Dan Colman collected his third six-figure cash of 2017 by taking down the HKD$ 250,000 Triton Super High Roller Series Six Max Event on Saturday, beating a final table that included 2016 Super High Roller Bowl champion Rainer Kempe, Erik Seidel, Mustapha Kanit, and Timofey ‘Trueteller’ Kuznetsov.
The first elimination of the final table was Italy’s Kanit. With less than 10 big blinds in front of him, Kanit shoved from the small blind with 
and Sergio Aido called on Kanit’s left with 
. The 
flop was safe for Kanit as was the 
turn. The 
river, however, gave Aido a pair and resulted in Kanit’s exit.
Kuznetsov followed Kanit out the door over the course of two hands. Over two hours after Kanit’s bust out, Aido opened for a raise and got two callers in Kuznetsov and Seidel out of the blinds. The trio checked the 
the flop and Kuznetsov bet 38,000 on the 
turn. Seidel raised to 83,000 and Aido folded. Kuznetsov found a call and the 
hit the river. Seidel moved all in for 92,000 and Kuznetsov called to see Seidel reveal

Down to his last nine big blinds, Kuznetsov shoved the next hand from the button with

With roughly 50 big blinds in play, there was little margin for error in three-handed play. Despite getting all of the chips in with the best out of it, Kempe couldn’t out run Colman and was the third place finisher. With blinds of 20,000/40,000, Kempe opened for 90,000 from the button and Colman jammed out of the small blind to put Kempe at risk. Kempe called for his last 350,000 with 
and was in great shape to double up against the 
of Colman. The flop gave Colman a pair along with a backdoor flush draw. The 
turn put Colman firmly ahead and Kempe hit the rail after missing on the river.
Heads up play went back and forth but Colman was able to finish Seidel off to claim victory. Seidel had a little under 1,000,000 in front of him and got all in with
