Dvoress Finally Gets a No-Limit Hold’em Triton Win
After emerging victorious in this event, Dvoress shared how special it was for him because it marked the first time he had won a Triton title in no-limit hold’em.
Although widely recognized as a no-limit hold'em player, his previous three Triton titles had all come in short deck and pot-limit Omaha events.
Dvoress also added that he had not been playing short deck or pot-limit Omaha for very long and therefore, winning a Triton no-limit hold'em title for the first time felt a lot more exciting.
So far this year, Dvoress has already won at the $100,000 Short Deck tournament in Triton Jeju in March, as well as two €25,000 High Roller events on the European Poker Tour.
