Elena Yasyuchenya Wins $3,000 One-W Championship on Triton ONE Debut

Elena Yasyuchenya won the $3,000 One-W Championship at Triton ONE North Cyprus, earning $35,500 after defeating fellow Triton newcomer Kseniia Kolotiuk heads-up. The women-only tournament drew 42 entries, including 15 re-entries, and generated a $112,518 prize pool.

The event began on November 8, 2026, and ended in the early hours of Monday after 16 hours of play. Seven players finished in the money, with Kolotiuk collecting $25,500 as runner-up and Tang Lili taking $16,318 for third place.

Yasyuchenya Takes the Lead After Doubling Through Tang

Nine players reached the final table, but only seven would be paid. Diana Kalietina was eliminated on the money bubble in eighth place when her pocket jacks ran into Tang's pocket queens.

Tang held a commanding lead when seven players remained, with 3,590,000 chips (60 big blinds). Yasyuchenya was third with 1,400,000, while Kolotiuk had 1,250,000.

Yasyuchenya took the lead during five-handed play after doubling through Tang. Holding ace-ten, she made three aces by the turn and called Tang's all-in bluff. The pot doubled her 14-big-blind stack and moved her into first place.

Ye Yi was eliminated shortly afterwards, finishing fifth for $9,600.

Yasyuchenya then knocked out her remaining three opponents to claim the title.

Jessica Teusl was the first to go. Holding bottom pair, Teusl committed her last four big blinds against Yasyuchenya's flush draw. A king on the turn put Yasyuchenya ahead, and Teusl finished fourth for $12,400.

Tang followed in third place. She shoved her final nine big blinds from the button with ace-three, only to run into Yasyuchenya's pocket queens. The queens held, ending Tang's tournament.

Pocket Fours Beat Pocket Aces on the First Heads-Up Hand

Yasyuchenya entered heads-up play with 33 big blinds against Kolotiuk's 19. The match lasted just one hand.

Kolotiuk picked up pocket aces and raised, while Yasyuchenya called with pocket fours. The flop came 4-9-7, giving Yasyuchenya a set of fours.

Yasyuchenya check-raised, and both players committed their remaining chips on the six turn. The seven on the river left Kolotiuk's aces beaten, securing Yasyuchenya's first Triton title.

"I'm very glad to be the winner," Yasyuchenya said afterwards.

She described the field as strong and acknowledged how difficult the tournament had been. Both finalists were making their Triton debuts, adding to the significance of the result at an event designed to encourage more women to take part in poker.
