Germany’s Manig Loeser emerge victorious in the Triton Super High Roller Series 2017 Montenegro Main Event on Thursday. Loeser defeated Malaysia’s Richard Yong after a 60-minute back-and-forth heads-up battle that saw the chip lead change hands on two separate occasions.
While the German player began heads-up with a slight lead – holding 6.7 million in chips to Yong’s 6.5 million – the Triton co-founder came out of the blocks like an Olympic sprinter and quickly pulled ahead.
Yong began to apply the pressure and whittled Loeser down to 3.
