Reda Achnit just turned a CoinPoker freeroll into a $51,000 Triton cash..
Read that again!
Three months ago,
@Achreda (achr42) was a 24-year-old computer engineering graduate from Morocco grinding microstakes online. He had never sat in a live tournament. He found the Road to Triton qualifier while watching a stream as a fan of Mehdi Chaoui. He entered the CoinPoker freerolls. He won the package: a $25,000 buy-in plus the trip to Jeju.
Then he showed up at Triton Jeju II Event #5, the $25k NLH 8-Handed, and sat down with 131 entries of the best players on earth.
He outlasted Phil Ivey.
He outlasted Stephen Chidwick.
He outlasted Ben Tollerene, Kayhan Mokri, Laszlo Bujtas and more.
At one point he was 12th of 131, in the money with 23 left, holding a top-10 stack and sharing a table with Mike Watson. He treated it like a professional opportunity, not a holiday. His stated goal was simple: cash at minimum. Win if the cards allowed.
He cashed.
14th place. $51,000.
Eliminated by CoinPoker ambassador Seth Davies, who went on to finish 5th for $226,000. Alex Boika took the title for $761,000.
From zero live experience to a five-figure score against the toughest field in poker. First live tournament. First Triton. Paid.
This is not a one off. On CoinPoker there is not a single week where someone does not turn a dream into reality. Freerolls become packages. Packages become live debuts. Live debuts become cashes against Ivey, Chidwick and Watson. Microstakes players become the story of the series.
200,000+ players. Highest stakes online. Triton partners. Over $7 million in CoinRewards every month. Instant crypto. The room that keeps writing these stories.
CoinPoker is the greatest poker room in the world!!
Congratulations Reda
@Achreda
This is only the beginning!!
