Dan Dvoress Does the Double as Matthias Eibinger Reaches Seven — Triton Montenegro 2026 Events 15 & 16

Triton Montenegro 2026 closed out its PLO schedule on Wednesday with a double helping of history. Dan Dvoress claimed his fifth title on the Triton Poker Super High Roller Series — and his first Main Event — winning Triton Montenegro 2026 Event 15: $100,000 PLO Main Event for $2,018,000. Hours earlier, Matthias Eibinger claimed a seventh Triton title in Event 16: $50,000 PLO Mystery Bounty, banking $1,053,000 including $700,000 in bounties.

Event 15: Dvoress Does the Montenegro Double

The $100,000 PLO Main Event drew 76 entries (including 38 re-entries), generating a $7,600,000 prize pool. Dvoress won the opening event of the festival two weeks ago and now becomes the second player to win twice in Montenegro this trip, joining his countryman Mike Watson.

Final Table Result

He did it the hard way. Returning for Day 3 in last place of the six survivors — behind overnight chip leader Manuel Stojanovic — Dvoress admitted he arrived thinking about pay-jumps rather than the title. PLO had other ideas.

“I came into the final table being last and mentally I was preparing to think of techniques to try to ladder, try to like sneak in a pay-jump,” Dvoress said. “And then things turned around really quickly. I just feel really fortunate.”

Stojanovic led with 5,795,000 (116 BBs), Watson second on 4,110,000 (82 BBs), Patrik Antonius third with 2,890,000 (58 BBs). Martin Dam had 2,480,000 (50 BBs), Laszlo Bujtas 1,695,000 (34 BBs), Dvoress 1,275,000 (26 BBs), and Robert Cowen 755,000 (15 BBs).

Cowen bust first in seventh when his king-king-ten-seven ran into Stojanovic’s aces pre-flop — $361,000. Bujtas went next on Day 3’s third hand, his pocket queens losing to Dam’s set of aces on the flop — $456,000. Watson, the double turbo champion, then doubled Dvoress before having his aces cracked by Stojanovic’s king-jack-five board — fifth place, $585,000. Antonius, at his fifth Montenegro final of the series, found two kings with Dvoress holding king-king-eight-four but couldn’t survive the river — fourth, $726,000.

Three-handed, Dam overhauled Stojanovic with a turned flush in a big pot that sent the Austrian into freefall. Dvoress then extracted chips from Dam in successive pots before closing him out when his queen-ten-eight-three beat Dam’s jack-ten-nine-four all-in pre-flop — Dam departed third for $927,000.

Heads-up, Dvoress held a 47-to-17 blind lead but Stojanovic briefly clawed back, making a flush to get within 10 blinds. It didn’t last. Dvoress made a statement river call with ten-eight-five-three on a king-eight-six-nine-nine board, then put Stojanovic away in two hands — first flopping two pair with ace-ten-five-two, then making a club flush with king-jack-six-four to end it.

“It feels absolutely incredible to get one in the Main Event,” Dvoress said. Stojanovic banked $1,402,000 for a career-best second.

Event 16: Seven and Counting for Eibinger

The $50,000 PLO Mystery Bounty drew 47 entries (including 25 re-entries), generating a $2,350,000 prize pool — split equally between main prize pool and bounties. After a chaotic Day 2 in which the bounties triggered four-way all-ins from the first hand, six players returned for the final.

Final Table Result

Cesar Garcia led with 3,680,000 (123 BBs), Eibinger second on 1,840,000 (61 BBs), Joao Simao third with 1,490,000 (50 BBs). Ben Tollerene had 1,165,000 (39 BBs), Lautaro Guerra 675,000 (23 BBs), and Punnat Punsri 555,000 (19 BBs).

Tollerene bust in sixth when his ace-queen-jack-nine lost to Eibinger’s ace-king-queen-queen all-in pre-flop — $75,000. Guerra, who had survived a chaotic four-way all-in to quadruple up pre-money, went in fifth when his ace-king-king-four ran into Eibinger’s aces — $96,000. Punsri’s aces were cracked in fourth by Eibinger’s queen-nine-eight-six, which made trips on a paired board — $199,000 plus a bounty envelope.

Garcia held a commanding lead three-handed but it evaporated in a single monster pot. Simao opened, Garcia three-bet, and Eibinger called from the big blind before Simao four-bet. Garcia called for all his chips and Eibinger called on the ten-nine-four flop with a flush draw — and hit it on the turn. Garcia bust third for $164,000 plus four bounty envelopes worth $325,000.

Eibinger took the last 13 blinds from Simao quickly, his ten-nine-nine-five making a flush to end it. He then drew seven bounty envelopes, pulling the biggest single prize of $250,000 among them.

“Seven Triton titles, three PLO events, a second place and a fifth place also,” Eibinger said, seemingly disbelieving his own accounting. Eibinger revealed he had spent two years playing all-in-or-fold PLO online during Covid, explaining a PLO expertise that surprised many. He now draws level with Watson at seven titles on the all-time Triton list, trailing only Jason Koon ‘s 12.
