ABOUT
Triton Poker was founded in 2015 in Asia and rapidly established itself as the premier destination for the world's most elite players and high-net-worth recreational participants. Buy-ins begin at HK$100,000 (approximately $13,000 USD) for smaller events and reach HK$2,000,000 ($260,000+) for flagship Super High Rollers, creating prize pools that regularly exceed $10 million for a single event.
Triton's unique format combines No-Limit Hold'em with Short Deck Ante Only — a variant played with a stripped deck that produces more action and larger hands — giving its events a distinctive character that differs from the standard tournament circuit. Events are held in spectacular locations including Cyprus, Montenegro, Macau, London, and South Korea.
The player pool at Triton events is unlike any other on earth: a mixture of the world's best professional players (Jason Koon, Tom Dwan, Phil Ivey, Bryn Kenney, Mikita Badziakouski) alongside the world's most successful businesspeople and entrepreneurs who can afford the astronomical buy-ins. The combination produces poker content and narratives that transcend the professional circuit.
How to Qualify
Direct buy-in only. Triton events are invitation-based for many players, though buy-in availability varies by event. There are no public satellite paths to Triton Main Events — participants must fund their own entry.
