in heads-up to win the first title in the series he founded back in 2015.

Yong final-tabled the $1 Million The Big One for One Drop at the 2012 World Series of Poker and came narrowly close to winning the HKD1,000,000 Main Event back here in Montenegro one year ago, eventually finishing runner-up to

. This time, he ended up as the winner with his son and two-time Triton Super High Roller Series event champion

In the winner interview, Yong was asked about the very fact and joked “no, I am above him in the ranking. On the Malaysian ranking I am the first and he is the second” with a big smile on the face before adding “Yes, I am feeling good, very happy that everybody joined my tournament, and I had a lot of fun. It has been a long time since I played full decks and I forgot how to play.”

Yong also confirmed he will be back in tournament action the next day for the highlight of the festival, the HKD1,000,000 Main Event.

Not even half an hour later the heads-up for the title was set. Yu three-bet with seven-five suited and got it in with a straight and flush draw against O'Dwyer, who called with a turned set of eights to jump over one million. In the very next hand, Haxton moved all in with ace-queen to see his hopes dashed by Yong's king-ten when a king appeared on the flop.

While O'Dwyer had a solid lead, Yong's aggressive approach to the battle one-versus-one almost evened out the stacks. The businessman from Malaysia then called a river-shove by O'Dwyer with ace-deuce for top pair, having looked through the busted straight draw of his very accomplished opponent. While O'Dwyer doubled once, he couldn't escape from a setup in which he flopped bottom two pair against the superior two pair of Yong, smiling in defeat with a “congrats” on his lips.

After a swingy heads up battle with High Roller favourite Steve O Dwyer, Malaysian businessman Richard Yong took down the second event of the Triton Super High Roller Series in Montenegro, which was a 6-Max format. After coming 2nd in the Main Event last year to Manig Loeser, he was very pleased to finally reach the top. He chats to Laura Cornelius.

While Yong had O'Dwyer all-in and at-risk on multiple occasions the US pro had managed to double every time.

However, this time O'Dwyer's time was up and with both players holding two pair his chances did not look good. The

river saw Richard Yong take down his first ever Triton Super High Roller title.

O'Dwyer had to settle for second best, and the equivalent of a US$251,725 payday while Yong took the title and the lions share of the prize pool, making close to US$388,030 for his victory.
