With just 20 players remaining — and late registration still open — all eyes will be on the Merit Crystal Cove Resort and Casino in North Cyprus to see who will win Event #5: $75,000 Short Dec here at the Triton Poker Special Edition.
Seth Davies leads the way in pursuit of his second High Roller title in eight months after previously winning a $50,000 No-Limit Hold'em event at the SHRB Europe festival.
Davies has never won a short deck tournament, finishing second to Santi Jiang in a $50,000 Short Deck event at the same festival.
