Benedek Farkas overcame a huge heads-up chip deficit to win the $10,000 Triton ONE NLH 7-Handed event for $572,000. The 22-year-old Hungarian started heads-up with seven big blinds before defeating Dmitrii Kukhtarev in North Cyprus.
Benedek Farkas produced a remarkable comeback to win the $10,000 NLH 7-Handed event at the 2026 Triton ONE North Cyprus, overcoming a substantial heads-up chip deficit against Dmitrii Kukhtarev to collect $572,000.
The 22-year-old Hungarian entered the final duel with only seven big blinds, facing a chip disadvantage of more than 12-to-1. However, Farkas gradually turned the contest around, eventually defeating Kukhtarev to secure his first Triton ONE title and the biggest live tournament payout of his career.
The tournament attracted 324 entries, including 101 re-entries, and generated a $2,945,484 prize pool. Kukhtarev finished runner-up for $362,000, while Igor Provkin collected $261,484 for third place.
Farkas Overcomes Huge Chip Deficit Against Kukhtarev
Kukhtarev appeared to be in control when heads-up play began. He held 60.75 million chips against Farkas's 4.05 million, leaving the Hungarian with a difficult task to recover.
Farkas needed to win several crucial pots to remain in contention. He gradually increased his stack before a significant confrontation changed the direction of the match.
One of the defining hands saw Kukhtarev continue betting across all three streets with a pair of deuces. Farkas held six-five and called on the flop, turn and river, eventually making a difficult call with fourth pair.
Kukhtarev's hand was revealed as a bluff, giving Farkas a substantial pot and shifting the chip advantage in his favour.
The call helped Farkas move ahead in the contest after beginning heads-up play with a considerable disadvantage. He continued applying pressure and eventually completed the comeback to secure the title. The $572,000 first-place prize represented a major milestone for F0rkas.
Before the Triton ONE victory, his best recorded live tournament payout was $52,238, earned through a runner-up finish in a €5,000 event at PokerStars Open Cannes in 2025. His North Cyprus result was more than ten times that previous career-best score.
Farkas was playing his second Triton ONE festival and secured his first major career title through the $10,000 seven-handed event.
The victory also took his recorded live tournament earnings beyond $782,000, according to Card Player's reporting.
Kukhtarev, meanwhile, collected $362,000 for second place after entering the final duel with a commanding chip lead. Russia's Igor Provkin completed the podium, earning $261,484.
