The 69-year-old amateur player 🇪🇪 Vladimir Korzinnin (also known as Gamblodalf, Gandalf, and Santa) has become the main star of the Triton Monte Carlo series.
Three days ago, he finished second in the $200K Triton Invitational ($3.47M), narrowly losing to Finnish player Patrick Antonius.
Last night, Korzinnin made it to the final table of the $150K NLHE 8-max tournament.
The post included a couple of exciting hands from the previous day featuring Vladimir. In one hand, with a stack of 39 big blinds, he opened from the Hijack and went all-in on the river after three barrels.

1. 🇨🇦 Sam Greenwood – 85 big blinds
2. 🇩🇪 Tom Fuchs – 74 big blinds
