The payouts in Event #5: $250,000 Triton Invitational are astronomical, with seven players set to cash for a million dollars or more.

The $250,000 Triton Invitational had started with 15 players remaining, but it wasn't long before play was down to a single table of nine. Start-of-day chip leader Kayhan Mokri had picked up where he left off on Day 2, and already knocked out high roller regular Mikita Badziakouski.
