Message: [QUOTE="DS3, post: 6761047, member: 407846"] So, a final post on the Triton Series London. In summary, what a series! A record number of players in key events where the cream rose to the top repeatedly. The winners included, Lucas Greenwood, Fedor Holtz, Espen Jorstad, Ole Schemion, Jason Koon (x2), David Yan, Timothy Adams, Danny Tang and Phil Ivey (x2). A fantastic and absorbing level of play in each event. Only a couple of ‘negatives’ if they can be called that. The first being (as always) the 3 short deck events at the end of the series with low entry fields just gives the impression the series peters out. First, they should be limited to 2 events and featured at the start of the series, perhaps events two and five for example. Then there might be more entries (though I have already posed I think short deck as a game has limited interest). However the series should peak with two events. The penultimate should be the highest buy-in event (the buy-in can vary) with the final event being the Main Event. This series that was the $125,000 NLH Main Event...the series needs to exit with a bang not a whimper. That said the only thing which really did bug was the promotion of the two day $1,00,000 buy in cash game as a climax to the event. Let’s face it, that seemed like an after thought. As soon as I started watching, I thought something was off in terms of ‘live stream’ and it appears I was correct. They cobbled together what looks like two sessions of poker )plating out in the background of the event?) and then sent it out ‘live’...yet I notice the stream is now tagged as ‘Pre-recorded $1M Buy-In Cash Game’. Two points regarding this. No need for the deception. If they had shot a private two session event with super high rollers, then put it out as content after the event, I am sure a large number would have watched it (at present just under two hundred thousand have). However if they really want to draw eyes excluding the high rolling pros is a mistake. Watching mostly wealthy Chinese players duke it out for millions is a draw, but it doesn’t compare to the likes of Phil Ivey, Jason Koon and Patrik Antonius etc. sat down with a million each on the table seeing how much financial pain they can inflict on each other! That said, a great series and thanks to everyone who checked in in the thread, much appreciated! [/QUOTE]
