Triton Poker Episode 5 of SHR Short Deck Cash Game produces Amazing Cold Deck Poker Hands

Episode 5 of the 2018 Triton Poker SHR Series in Jeju has now been released, and while we don't see Tom Dwan in this one, one round had produced one of the most extraordinary hands fans will never see too often - for one thing, the stakes were incredibly huge at $1,248,300 for the entire pot after the players were done betting, and the other is because the cards battling are Aces vs Kings vs Queens, a showdown that could only appear approximately once in every 25,000 hands!

Triton Poker Super High Roller Series 2018 Event info:
Short Deck Cash Game 36 cards (2's thru 5's removed).
Flush beats a full house.
Ace acts as high (TJQKA) and low (A6789) for making straight (so acts as A and as 5).
BUY-IN: ₩ 300,000,000 (≈$300,000) for 300,000,000 chips - unlimited re-entry

Tom Dwan has not participated in this episode, understandable since he's been having the worst luck so far in the earlier three episodes.

Players on the high-stakes table featured elite high rollers including partypoker ambassador Jason Koon, Malaysian high roller Paul Phua, Mikita Badziakouski, Elton Tsang, Tan Xuan, Qiang Wang and Rui Cao.

Just like in the earlier Triton Poker short deck cash games, the action is definitely blood-pumping. While the 36-card game format of poker typically means everyone can get a nice starting hand, the not-so-good thing is that a smaller deck brings a confusingly chaotic percentages of hand matchups.

Halfway throughout the episode, there was something in their cards that made the players overly excited, and even if Jason Koon had K-Q in his hands, he sensed something was off, thus chose to fold and let the others battle it out...

His hunch was right - the remaining three players were holding high pairs:

Qiang Wang - pocket Queens
Paul Phua - pocket Kings
Rui Cao - pocket Aces

So who do you think won in this incredible round?

In the end, it was Rui Cao who raked in the $1,248,300 pot.
