Triton Poker Series: Redefining High-Stakes Action
The Triton Phenomenon
The Triton Super High Roller Poker Series has long been synonymous with high-stakes action, elite competition, and an unmatched player experience. However, the recent stop at Landing Casino in Jeju, South Korea, has taken the series to new heights, shattering attendance records and captivating the poker world.
Record-Breaking Fields
The turnout for the Triton Jeju stop has been nothing short of staggering. The attendance record was broken twice in two days, with Jeremy Ausmus defeating a 391-player $25,000 field early in the festival, and the $100,000 Main Event attracting an astonishing 285 entries. These unprecedented field sizes have left the poker community in awe, begging the question: what’s driving this remarkable surge?
A One-of-a-Kind Experience
Triton’s Growth and Accessibility
According to Triton CEO Andy Wong, these record-setting fields are a testament to the brand’s long-term expansion and the increasing accessibility of high-stakes poker. “These field sizes are a testament to how much the Triton brand has grown over the years, and proof that high-stakes poker is as alive as ever,” Wong says. “It is more accessible than ever to players across the globe, and especially Asia, and we’re proud to have more and more players come to experience what we’ve built.”
A Truly Unique Offering
Wong emphasizes that the Triton Super High Roller Series offers a truly one-of-a-kind experience, setting it apart from other poker events. “Our Super High Roller Series is truly a one-of-a-kind experience,” he affirms.
Success Breeds Success
Massive Prize Pools and Elite Competition
For many players, the allure of Triton lies in the massive prize pools combined with a mix of elite professionals and recreational players. Norwegian pro Jon Kyte sees this as a self-perpetuating cycle, predicting even larger fields in the future. “In my opinion, success makes it grow,” he says. “So many people have seen the turnouts of Triton Jeju before and want to take part in it, myself included. Being able to win $1.1 million in a $15k event or $1.9 million in a $25k event with a mix of pros and businessmen is Triton’s key to success.”
A Must-Visit Poker Destination
Beyond the organization and prize pools, Jeju itself has established a reputation as a must-visit poker destination. Spanish high roller Adrian Mateos attests to this, saying, “Triton has strong connections with Asian players. Last year was huge too, so people expected it to be big and came to play. Triton series are the best for me—I love the competition and playing for big money. It’s perfect! I enjoy it a lot!”
World-Class Execution and Player Experience
Triton regular and last year’s Player of the Year, Danny Tang, points to the series’ world-class execution and player experience as significant draws. “Triton is obviously doing a tremendous job with their productions and marketing,” he explains. “Every single poker player would love to come experience playing an event here, and Jeju was previously the record-breaking stop with more recreationals, so it’s no surprise to see more new faces this time around.”
Ben Tollerene echoes this sentiment, stating, “I think the record-breaking field sizes we are seeing in Jeju show us that live tournament poker is healthy and experiencing new growth. For me personally, it’s about seeing my friends and challenging myself at the highest stakes.”
American Chris Brewer credits the effort Triton puts into perfecting the player experience, saying, “It is awesome to see the Triton brand growing so fast. The staff puts more effort into the product than any other venue in the world, and the work shows with the recent turnouts.”
As the Triton Poker Series continues to redefine high-stakes action, one thing is clear: the future of elite poker has never looked brighter.
