The event attracted a dense field of 215 entries, creating a prize pool that ballooned to $10.75 Million. It was a gathering of poker’s aristocracy, all vying for a slice of that enormous prize. But CoinPoker ambassador Mosböck, the former soccer player turned card shark, proved he’s not just contending at the highest level – he’s re-writing the rules.

Mosböck, who has been sharing behind-the-scenes content from Triton stops, will surely have another exciting chapter to share after this remarkable triumph. With his latest win, the former soccer player turned high-stakes crusher has proven once again that he belongs among the world’s elite poker players.

The Runner-Up: A Legend’s Ledger Grows

Coming closest to denying Mosböck this win was Bryn Kenney! Even in defeat, there’s an aura around Kenney, the man who reigns supreme atop the all-time money list. His $1,897,430 share from the deal elevates his career earnings to a stratospheric $75.90 Million-plus. He was chasing a fifth Triton title, a feat that seems almost beyond comprehension.

Santhosh Suvarna is in the House!

And then there’s Santhosh Suvarna. A name that resonates with power and ambition in the high-stakes poker world. The Dubai-based casino operator and high-roller extraordinaire is back on the scene. Suvarna, a former Triton champion and two-time WSOP bracelet winner, took 18th place in this event, banking $122,000 (that’s roughly ₹1.06 Crores at the current exchange rate for those keeping score at home).

2024 was Suvarna’s year of ascendance, a display of dominance that would make even seasoned pros breathless. Last year, he raked in an eye-watering $8.40 Million (~₹71.70 Crores) in live tournament winnings across 24 cashes, emerging as the second-biggest winner at the 2024 WSOP second only to Main Event champion Jonathan Tamayo. His incredible streak even denied Ankit Ahuja a record-extending third GPI Player of the Year (India) title!

2025 may have opened on a somewhat subdued note for him, with just one prior cash coming from the 2024 PGT $1 Million Championship. But Suvarna’s reappearance at the Triton Poker Series – a tour he openly adores – feels less like a minor note and more like a deep breath before a plunge. It has the distinct vibe of a rocket preparing for liftoff. His combined live tournament earnings after now $15.15 Million-plus (~₹132 Crores), and the number is only climbing. He doesn’t simply lead the Indian poker rankings; he is the Indian poker rankings.

The Road to Victory

This two-day tournament was no slow waltz; it was a rocket launch. Forty-two players came back for Day 2, the tension thick enough to cut with a knife. The money bubble burst with Matthias Lipp‘s departure, unleashing a torrent of eliminations.

Poker luminaries like Artur Martirosian (9th for $228,000), Kahle Burns (13th for $173,000), Paulius Plausinaitis (19th for $122,000), Alex Foxen (20th for $122,000), and Stephen Chidwick (22nd for $111,000) all tasted the money but fell short of the final table glory.

When the final eight convened, WPT champion Dylan Linde was clutching the lead, with Mosböck sitting comfortably in third. But poker, as they say, is a game of fleeting fortunes, and this final table was a symphony of shifting power.
