Yan and Danchev Lead the Way as Day 2 Kicks Off in the $100,000 Triton Main Event
Day 2 of the $100,000 Triton Main Event at the 2024 World Series of Poker Paradise is set to resume at 12:00 p.m. local time at Atlantis Paradise Island Bahamas. Day 1 saw a total of 149 entries, 80 of which will be returning for Day 2. Late registration and reentries are permitted until the start of Day 2, so the field size is likely to grow before the cards are in the air.
David Yan (1,166,000), Dimitar Danchev (1,107,000) and Biao Ding (990,000) sit atop the leaderboard as action gets set to kick off. The veteran trio is no stranger to high-roller events at the WSOP and Triton, with proven results in competition at the highest level.
Yan looks to add a third WSOP gold bracelet to his resume, while Danchev is looking to adorn his wrist with bracelet number two. With a victory, Ding would bring home his first piece of WSOP hardware. All three have won Triton events before and are on the hunt to capture another trophy.
Rounding out the bottom end of the top ten counts are David Coleman (752,000), Alex Kulev (713,000), and Justin Bonomo (691,000), who are all very familiar with battling it out with the best in the world.
