Ran Azor Wins $2K One Night Bounty Quattro at Triton One North Cyprus 2026

Israel’s Ran Azor has won the first title of his Triton One North Cyprus campaign. He beat a field of 54 entries in Event #2, the $2,000 One Night Bounty Quattro, at the Merit Royal Diamond Hotel & Casino in Kyrenia. Azor took home $29,000 in total: $21,000 for first place and $8,000 in bounties.

The one-day bounty event ran on November 6 as a side event to the $3,000 QQPK Genesis Opening Event. It gave players a fast option during the opening days of the series.

$2K One Night Bounty Quattro: Tournament Overview

• Venue: Merit Royal Diamond Hotel & Casino, Kyrenia
• Entries: 54
• Total prize pool: $100,008
• Bounty pool: $28,000

• Structure: 200K blinds, 15-minute levels

Ran Azor Beats Finnish Rivals to Win the Triton One Bounty Event

Azor’s closest challengers both came from Finland. Zhu Hengtao finished second, earning $15,200 in prize money plus $4,000 in bounties for a total of $19,200.

The bigger story behind the winner was Luka Sorainen. He finished third for $9,800 in prize money, but his $11,000 in bounties was the most of anyone in the field. That brought his total to $20,800, more than the runner-up won. It shows how bounty tournaments can change the usual payout order, since a long run of knockouts can be worth more than a higher finish.

Final Table Results and Payouts: $2K One Night Bounty Quattro

1. Ran Azor (Israel) – $21,000 + $8,000 bounties = $29,000
2. Zhu Hengtao (Finland) – $15,200 + $4,000 bounties = $19,200
3. Luka Sorainen (Finland) – $9,800 + $11,000 bounties = $20,800
4. Tang Yixi (China) – $7,400
5. Sebastian Gaehl (Germany) – $5,800

How Bounties Shaped the Final Payouts

Luka Sorainen won more from bounties ($11,000) than from his third-place prize money, and he out-earned the runner-up overall.

Roman Stoika finished sixth, and his $2,000 in bounties lifted his total of $6,500 above the fifth-place finisher’s $5,800.

Tang Yixi finished fourth for $7,400 without a bounty at the final table, which shows a deep run alone still pays well.

About 28% of the total prize pool went to bounties, so players who went after knockouts had another way to a profitable night.
