Triton Poker Series: The New Era of High Stakes Poker

In 2017, a new era of poker competitions was launched and it has since become what is widely considered as the new home of high stakes poker within the community. Triton Poker puts the center stage for some of the largest prize pools in broadcasted tournaments and cash games. The brand was founded by the Malaysian businessmen Richard Yong and Paul Phua, and has become known for its extremely high level of production quality of the live stream action in the world of poker.

Each Triton Poker stop includes a series of High Roller and Super High Roller competitions with No-Limit Hold’em, Pot-Limit Omaha and Short Deck all appearing regularly. The very first time Triton Poker festival took place was back in September 2016 at the Poker King Club in Manila before the following two stops remained in the capital of the Philippines but switched to the Solaire Resort & Casino. Since then, the brand has embarked on a more international journey with up to four stops each year.

It regularly attracts some of the biggest and brightest names in the poker world along with invited entrepreneurs to showcase their talents. Triton Poker is also the home of the most expensive live poker tournament in the history of the card game so far with the £1,050,000 No Limit Hold’em – Triton Million for Charity during the London stop in August 2019. China’s Aaron Zang emerged as the winner for £13,779,491, but runner-up Bryn Kenney (£16,890,509) holds the record for largest individual cash prize in a live poker event in history.
