Triton Poker Vietnam 2023: 20,000 No Limit Hold'Em Mystery Bounty results, champion, leaderboard, prizemoney image

Popular Twitch streamer and ACR Stormer Mark Rubbathan has enjoyed the biggest result of his poker career, shipping the 20,000 Mystery Bounty event at the Triton Poker Super High Roller Series in Vietnam.

Rubbathan secured a mega 396,000 first prize after defeating Wiktor 'Limitless' Malinowski in heads-up, earning 10 bounties along the way, with the amount of money in those bounties yet to be revealed.

The Brit content creator enjoyed an incredible run of cards at the final table but also showed tremendous poise while in the chip lead to win the biggest score of his life.

With Rubbathan leading at the start of the final table, an exciting four-way in between Victor Chong (QQ), Pedro Garagnani (KJo), Kean Wei Tan (KTo) and Malinowski (T6s) saw the two tens roll out on the board, including the case ten on the river, with Garagnani crippled as his three opponents scooped part of the pot each.

Rubbathan was first to get a scalp at the final table, using his chip-leading stack to open jam ace-seven offsuit and Garagnani called off his remaining few chips with king-jack suited to be eventually eliminated in ninth.

It remained the 'Weazel' show early on as the England pro knocked out Timothy Adams with his ace-king suited holding against the Canadian's queen-jack suited, with Rubbathan amassing 12.5 million chips to this point, with a commanding lead over second-placed Tan with 5.95 million chips.

Rubbathan knocked out a third consecutive player when his queen-ten flopped two-pair against Joao Vieira's open jam with ace-king, maintaining his huge chip lead with six players remaining.

Finally, someone else got into the action of eliminating a player with Daniel Dvoress' ace-jack suited holding against Gytis Lazauninkas' ace-nine suited, with the Lithuanian out in sixth.

Dvoress and Chong both assumed the chip lead briefly until Rubbathan regained the advantage when he knocked out Tan with his ace-queen outdrawing the Malaysian's pocket nines.

Rubbathan then duelled his pocket kings against short-stacked Malinowski's ace-four but an ace struck on the flop and the dangerous 'Limitless' secured a double-up.

Weazel's run good continued at the final table when his pocket queens were jammed over by Dvoress' pocket eights, with the Brit eliminating the Canadian in fourth and holding a 39BB chip lead to next best Chong with 13BBs.

With three players left, Rubbathan continued to get the rub of deck as he ended up calling Chong's ace-queen jam with his own ace-king offsuit and it held for heads-up between Weazel and Malinowski.

With a mammoth chip lead over Malinowski, Rubbathan looked in poor shape with his jack-nine against Limitless' king-nine, but a jack rolled off on the river to give 'Weazel' the Triton title.

Mike Takayama was the unlucky player out on the bubble as the Filipino's ace-ten suited jam preflop while short-stacked run into the pocket kings held by Vieira.

There were plenty of big names out early in the tournament including Stephen Chidwick, Justin Bonomo, Jason Koon, Steve O'Dwyer, Isaac Haxton and 15,000 8-handed champion Nacho Barbero.
