Vietnam’s Nguyen Huu Dung took down the Triton ONE Event #1 – $3,000 QQPK Genesis after a three-day battle against a massive field of 1,236 entries, including 759 re-entries, at LES A Casino .

The tournament generated a $3,311,244 prize pool, and Nguyen turned his $3,000 buy-in into a $586,000 payday along with the first trophy of the series. Starting the final day as the chip leader, he stayed in control throughout and eventually defeated China’s Zhou Yinan in heads-up play.

After a grueling three-day battle at the tables, Nguyen reflected on his victory, saying,

I feel very happy because it was a really long tournament, and I won the trophy. It’s for my son, this month is his birthday, so I want to give this trophy to him.
