Trophy In Sight: Aren Bezhanyan Runs The Table At $30K NLH
Event #3 $30,000 NLH 8-Handed moved toward its conclusion, with 27 players remaining from a starting field of 172 entries, generating a $5,160,000 prize pool. After the bubble burst the previous day, all remaining players were in the money, guaranteed at least $51,500, with the winner set to claim $1,143,000 and the Triton trophy.

The bubble burst when Ramin Hajiyev’s pocket kings fell to Danny Tang’s ace-queen, Tang hitting an ace on the flop to eliminate Hajiyev. From that point onward, every remaining player was guaranteed a payout.
Aren Bezhanyan led the field with 3,015,000 chips (50 big blinds). Bezhanyan had just come off a win in Event #1 $20,000 NLH , where he earned $990,000 and claimed his first Triton trophy after defeating Aleks Ponakovs heads-up. He was now aiming for a back-to-back victory and a second Triton title.

Among the remaining 27 players, several familiar high-stakes names are still in contention: Patrik Antonius (2,155,000), Benjamin Heath (1,120,000), Jesse Lonis (1,115,000), Lim Chin Wei (1,080,000), Matthias Eibinger (1,035,000), Kristen Foxen (860,000), Mikita Badziakouski (630,000), and Tony Ren Lin (260,000).
