Triton Poker Super High Roller Series

What is the Triton Poker Series?

The world's premier super high roller live poker tour. Founded in 2015 by Malaysian businessman Paul Phua and Richard Yong, Triton hosts invitational and open events with buy-ins ranging from $25,000 to $1,000,000+. The series rotates among destinations including Cyprus, London, Jeju (South Korea), Phu Quoc (Vietnam), Madrid, and Montenegro. Triton is known for cards-up livestreams on its YouTube channel and for hosting some of the largest live cash games in poker history.

What are Triton Poker buy-ins?

Triton tournaments typically start at $25K and scale up to $200K, $300K, and beyond. The flagship Main Events often carry $100K-$200K buy-ins. The 2019 Triton London 'Million for Charity' event had a $1.05M buy-in — won by Aaron Zang for $23M+, with Bryn Kenney runner-up for $20.5M (largest single second-place prize in poker history). Every stop also runs side action and uncapped cash games where stakes regularly reach $500/$1,000 NLHE and beyond.

Where does Triton Poker hold events?

Locations rotate annually but core regulars include Cyprus (multiple stops per year, the de facto home base), London, Madrid, Montenegro, Jeju (South Korea), and Phu Quoc (Vietnam). Cyprus has hosted the largest Triton stops since 2022 — the 2022-2024 Cyprus festivals collectively generated 10+ million-dollar pots and crowned dozens of high roller champions. Locations are chosen for favorable gaming regulations and accessibility for the international high-stakes circuit.

Who has won the most at Triton Poker?

Jason Koon is the all-time Triton leader with multiple titles and ~$30M+ in Triton earnings alone. Other multi-time winners include Mikita Badziakouski, Stephen Chidwick, and Tom Dwan. High-profile cashes include Bryn Kenney's $20.5M Triton London runner-up (2019), Phil Ivey's various deep runs, and Aaron Zang's historic $23M win.

Can amateur players play Triton events?

Yes — and this is by design. Triton intentionally invites recreational players (businessmen, crypto entrepreneurs, Asian high-rollers) to ensure healthy game flow alongside the pros. The series originated as a private high-stakes circuit for wealthy Asian businessmen and has retained that DNA. Open events allow any player to buy in at full price. Most other super high roller series (WPT High Roller, EPT Super High Roller) follow a similar amateur-friendly model, but Triton pioneered it.
