Triton Poker has announced a new £1-million buy-in series set in London. The so-called Triton Poker Super High Roller Series event will take place between July 31 – August 8, and extend all players an opportunity to land a big profit.

It can probably only be listed under ‘1st World problems’, and unfortunately it’s unlikely to be something most readers (or your scribe for that matter) ever have to solve, but for Dominik NItsche it was a tricky dilemma – where do you keep the $1million worth of cash and chips for your Big One for One Drop buy-in? While people are tight-lipped about what happens in Macau high stakes poker games, rumor has it that the blinds reached $3,500/$7,000 at one point. Apparently, the only thing that brought Dwan back was the $1 million buy-in tourney that he registered for.

In its history, the card-room has been active in the high stakes segments, hosting multiple competitions asking for at least £1 million in ready cash. On one occasion, the hosts expected willing participants to lay as much as $1,319,938 to gain an entry in the event.

Most recently, Justin Bonomo swept to victory in the 2018 $1 million buy-in Big One for One Drop event, which turned Bonomo into the world’s “winningest poker player ever.” Triton has long had a reputation for being an event that focuses exclusively on inviting professional players, including the venerable Bonomo, but things are finally changing.

Hosts have decided to give semi-professionals a friendly pat on the back and allow them to square it out between each other, with pros kindly asked to stay out of the game. The symbolic ban came in 2016, when the Triton Series took a distinctly “amateur” appearance, even though the majority of professionals continued to make an entry.

The London event is expected to attract quite the crowd with as many as 15 established players, including names, such as Paul Phua, Richard Yong, Ivan Leow, Rob Yang, and many more. As part of the “new format,” Triton will make sure that professionals and non-pros compete in separate brackets.

Tournament Schedule, Buys-Ins and What to Expect

Even though the festival will officially start on July 31, the player will have to wait until August 1 to participate in the first charity tournament. A total of nine days will be dedicated to the Triton Series which will be hosted in the The Park Lane Hilton.

July 31: NL 6-Handed Turbo – 25K euro
August 1: Triton Million for Charity – 1.05M euro
August 2: Triton Million for Charity – 1.05M euro
August 3: Triton Million for Charity – 1.05M euro
August 4: Triton London NLHM Main Event – 100K euro
August 5: Triton London NLHM Main Event – 100K euro
August 6: Short Deck Ante-Only – 25K euro
August 7: Triton London SD Main Event – 100K euroe
August 8: Triton London SD Main Event – 100K euro / Short-Deck Ante Only – 50K euro

There will be additional events in the schedule as well running side-by-side with the ones that start at 1:00 PM local time. On August 2, people could also join a NLH 8-Handed 50K euro event starting at 5:00 PM. If interested, there will be a NLH 8-Handed 50K euro event on Saturday, August 3, starting at 3:00 PM.

Then, between August 5 and August 7, players should pay attention to the 5:00 PM events each day, to name Short Deck Ante-Only, Triton London SD Main Event, Short-Deck Ante-Only. Obviously, participants would not want to miss out on this, although Triton is reputed for its impeccable organization.

Registration and Internal Ruling

Triton has already revealed the full schedule and specifics of the events. The international guidelines very strict indeed, and the first take-away is that there are going to be Invitations and Guests as the main two categories of participants.

Each category will be subdivided into Recreational Player/Businessman and Guest Player/ Professional Poker Player for Guests. Invitation holders will be asked to secure their seats by buying a £50,000 slot, which will then have to be topped off with an additional £1 million later on.

As to the rules at the felt, players would not be allowed to carry any sort of clothing that covers their body from the neck up, this includes scarves, funnel neck sweatshirts, turtle neck jumpers, sunglasses, hats/caps.

All players must be prepared to dispense with hoodies and any clothing items that may cover their faces. Because of the strong lights, sun glasses will be allowed. Yet, to attend the final tables, every guest would be asked to appear in an official suit.

Triton Poker is back in 2019 with some very exciting news for the players. Even though the charity event is a little out of the scope of the series hosts, it will most certainly be one of the highlights of the poker world in August.

£50k registration fee

Over the years, there have been numerous poker tournaments with massive prize pools. The winners have often walked away with life-changing sums of money. London has almost played host to a number of these mega-events over the years.

In October 2001 well-known promoter Barry Hearn launched what was called the “World’s Biggest Poker Event – The Poker Million”. This was set to take place at the start of 2002 at the Hilton Metropole Hotel in London. However, as a result of legal challenges, this event did not go ahead.

Other events have taken place with $1m buy-ins, but these were for closed-set television shows.

Triton Poker is now daringly attempting to take the mantle through a new tournament of its own. It will take place at the Park Lane Hilton’s Grand Ballroom in London this summer. The Triton Super High Roller Series London Festival will take place over the course of 10 days. There are going to be seven events or more on offer, beginning on July 31 and ending on August 8.

The entry fee will be a total of £1.05m – of this, the registration fee is set at £50,000, and the £1m entry fee will go into the prize pool. The registration fees will be going to charities, so millions of pounds worth of donations in total will go to some great causes.

Triton Poker has played host to some massive cash games in the past. These include Paul Phua winning a $2.35m pot against Tom Dwan. Phua is a co-founder of Triton Poker and Dwan is an ambassador for the company.

How to take part?

Speaking about the prestige of this event, Triton Poker said: “The £1 million buy-in – more than it has ever cost before to play a poker tournament – will create one of the biggest prize pools of all time. The champion will likely earn more than has ever been won at a poker tournament anywhere in the world.”

There will be a mix of professional poker players and recreational high rollers. Only those who get an official invitation from the company or are the nominated guests of one of the invited people can participate.

The invitations have already been sent out, with some of the most recognizable and successful people in the world who love poker getting one. The aim is that the invitation receiver will register to play in the event and then bring a plus-one with them. It is likely that the plus-ones will be poker professionals.

Special rules

For the majority of the initial three days, the organisers will split the field. This will see the recreational players battling against one another and the pro players playing each other. As the field narrows, the recreational and pro players will then go head to head for the big money.

Triton has created a number of rules that aim to level the playing field. Players will not be allowed to wear hoodies, hats or sunglasses, nor can they cover themselves from the neck upwards. The last nine players standing who make it to the final table will have to wear formal attire.
