Polk Finds Aces at the Right Time; Jungleman Leads Triton Poker Main Event Final Table

Doug Polk went from short stack to reaching the $125,000 Triton Poker London Main Event final table, while Dan "Jungleman" Cates chip leads with nine players left.

The 151-entrant no-limit hold'em tournament will begin its final session at 1 p.m. local time in London on Monday, with the YouTube stream starting at 2 p.m (6 a.m. PT). Each of the remaining players has a guaranteed minimum payout of $422,500, but the winner will take home $4,185,000.

Schemion, who won a Triton event last week, was out in 34th place, seven spots off the money. Shortly after the bubble burst, Ramin Hajiyev went out in 27th place, a $189,000 min-cash. Other notables to bust on Sunday include Luxon Invitational winner Bryn Kenney (21st for $205,000), Erik Seidel (19th for $226,000), Espen Jorstad (16th for $254,000), and Nick Schulman (11th for $360,000.

Polk was among the short stacks as the final table bubble approached, but he'd build up his stack to 3,325,000 after Seth Davies was eliminated in 10th place ($360,000). Following Davies' exit, the final table of nine was set with the blinds to resume on Monday at 50,000/125,000 with a 125,000 big blind ante.
