Among the Pot-Limit Omaha battles in the final stretch of Triton Montenegro, the Brazilian João Simão took the opportunity to secure his great result in the very expensive series. This Wednesday (27), he reached the heads-up of the Event 16 (US$ 50,000 PLO Mystery Bounty), stopping only at the Austrian Matthias Eibinger.

Event 16 recorded 47 entries, rewarding the top eight with a prize pool of US$ 2,350,000, divided between regular payouts and bounties. João Simão reached second place in this field, and although he did not make any eliminations within the ITM, he earned a respectable US$ 255,000.
The big star of the tournament was Matthias Eibinger. The Austrian won his incredible seventh Triton tournament title, pocketing US$ 1,053,000, with US$ 700,000 coming from the bounty envelopes. In a final table that started with many blinds in play, he grew and dominated, reaching the heads-up with 11 times more chips than João Simão and quickly closing the deal.

Punnat Punsri and Biao Ding were the others to earn through eliminations, taking US$ 75,000 each.
