High rollers wanted! Triton announces £1M tournament in London
The third Triton Poker Super High Roller Series stop in 2019 will make history. After a long wait, the Triton organization finally confirmed the highest buy-in poker tournament in history: The Triton Million — A helping hand for charity, which introduces a curious format and makes part of the Triton Poker Super High Roller Series in London.
Triton Poker Super High Roller Series in 2019
Triton Poker has awarded over $80M in prizes in 2019. The first stop was played in March in Jeju, South Korea, and after that, the action returned to Montenegro. Professional players like Jason Koon, Timofey Kuznetsov, Justin Bonomo, among others have won the most significant events of Triton this year. At the last stop in May, the Triton organization added new formats like Short Deck Turbo, but high rollers were waiting for the biggest poker tournament ever seen, which is now confirmed for London.

Triton Million for Charity, a dream for high rollers
Never in poker history, a tournament had had such a huge buy-in. £1,05M is the price to make history in the Triton Million for Charity, and to make it more special, not everyone is allowed to participate. Triton organized an exclusive invitation-only event, and a committee decided if a player fell into the category of Invitations (Recreational player, Businessman) or Guest (Guest Player, Professional Poker Player).
Only Invitation Holders will be allowed to deposit £50k* in advance to secure their seat in the tournament, and only after that, the invitation holder is permitted to appoint one Guest. Also, a potential Guest can register in a waiting list that will be shared with players already registered.
*Note: The £50k deposit is non-refundable, and it will be donated to Charity in case of no-show.
So far, twelve Businessman/Recreational players have confirmed their attendance to the event, but only ten poker pros have been invited:
Businessman / Recreational Player | Professional Player |
---|---|
Paul Phua Malaysia | Tom Dwan USA |
Richard Yong Malaysia | Daniel Cates USA |
Stanley Choi Hong Kong | David Peters USA |
Wai Kin Yong Malaysia | Rui Cao France |
Bobby Baldwin USA | Jason Koon USA |
Cary Katz USA | Bryn Kenney USA |
Liang Yu Vanuatu | Mikita Badziakouski Belarus |
Ivan Leow Malaysia | Timofey Kuznetsov Russia |
Rob Yong England | Sam Trickett England |
Alfred De Carolis USA | Stephen Chidwick England |
Rick Salomon USA | TBD |

After the Triton Poker SHR London 2019, poker won't be the same anymore as they have raised the bar too high, and that only proves that grinding is very much alive nowadays.
