Alex Foxen won Event 18 (US$ 75.000 PLO 6-Handed), overcoming a field of 60 entries. For this feat, he pocketed US$ 1.260.000, the largest share of the US$ 4,5 million prize pool. In a final table filled with established names and Omaha specialists, he defeated Finland’s Eelis Parssinen in heads-up play.
Foxen’s path to the title was marked by consistency. He started the FT as the chip leader, and right at the beginning, pulled a large pot against Philip Sternheimer to pull away. From then on, he managed and leveraged his advantage by applying pressure, making eliminations. In the final showdown, he gave Parssinen no chance, winning simply all five hands played.
Check out the final standings of Event 18:
| Position | Name | Country | Prize |
| 1 | Alex Foxen | USA | US$ 1.260.000 |
| 2 | Eelis Parssinen | Finland | US$ 890.000 |
| 3 | Isaac Haxton | USA | US$ 600.000 |
| 4 | Laszlo Bujtas | Hungary | US$ 457.000 |

| 6 | Philip Sternheimer | United Kingdom | US$ 280.000 |
| 7 | Paul Phua | Malaysia | US$ 218.000 |
Furthermore, Triton Jeju also held a single-day tournament to put the icing on the cake. Event 19 (US$ 30.000 PLO Turbo Bounty Quattro) attracted 39 entries and crowned the Briton Robert Cowen. The player earned US$ 622 thousand combining the regular prize for first place plus bounties, in addition to the first golden trident trophy of his career.

As the event had a turbo structure, the action unfolded quickly, and certainly, the final table was no different. From the start of the 7-handed play until the winner was determined, it was only 52 minutes of play.
And Cowen’s dominance is proven by the bounties: of the ten available, he collected nine and a half, each worth US$ 40 thousand. Punnat Punsri was the only other to be awarded rewards, taking US$ 20 thousand after an elimination in a split pot with the Briton.
See how Event 19 ended:
