Webster Lim won his second Triton Poker title with a victory in the GG Super Millions event at the Super High Roller Series in Vietnam.

The Malaysian beat out a record 166 entrants, including 44 newcomers, to win a first prize of 960,000 - defeating Czech online crusher Roman Hrabec in heads-up.

Lim adds the GG Super Millions trophy to the €50,000 No Limit Short Deck Hold'em event he won at the Triton festival in Madrid last year.

The heads-up between Lim and Hrabec saw the Malaysian start with a hefty two-to-one chip lead over his Czech adversary.

Lim wore down Hrabec gradually as the Czech failed to hit as many flops as his opponent in the final stages.

Eventually, Hrabec was forced to make a virtual all-in with seven-high as Lim picked him off with a magnificent call, holding only the third pair on a paired board.

The next hand saw Hrabec forced all-in with seven-three and holding less than a big blind as Lim's king-ten off suit made a higher flush on the river to secure the title.

Overnight leader Jonathan Jaffe reached the final table but was eliminated first, while Michael Soyza followed soon after.

There was heartbreak for New Zealander Sosia Zhang, who got her chips in ahead preflop against Lim with A5 vs. KJ, but after an ace and king came on the flop, she was left eliminated when a jack on the river gave her Malaysian opponent two-pair.

American duo Nick Petrangelo and Seth Davies were eliminated in fifth and fourth position, respectively, before their countryman, Chris Brewer bluffed his chips off in a trap set by Lim.

Brewer was left with less than a big blind after Lim's trip-aces picked off his five-high bluff near-jam, and was eventually eliminated to set up the Lim versus Hrabec heads-up battle.

Several stars busted before the money, including Sam Greenwood, Jason Koon, Michael Addamo, Fedor Holz, Isaac Haxton, and Justin Bonomo.
