The Triton Poker Super High Roller Series is a series of poker tournaments that are held three to four times a year at various locations around the world. Triton Poker specializes in high-stakes poker; with buy-ins of at least US$15,000 reaching up to over a million, the Triton Poker Series are among the most exclusive poker tournaments in the world.
In 2025, Triton Poker launched Triton ONE, a tour with more affordable buy-ins for players.
History Triton Poker was founded in 2016 by a group of poker enthusiasts including Paul Phua, Richard Yong and Ivan Leow to create a legal and exclusive space for high stakes poker players following runs-in with the law encountered by Phua and Yong. They were later joined in 2018 while it was still in its experimental phase by Andy Wong who became its CEO. It became a regular poker tour in 2019 with multiple tournaments at every stop of the tour. The most commonly played variants in tournaments are No-Limit Hold'em and Short Deck. Occasionally, Pot-Limit Omaha tournaments are also included in the tournament schedule. Since 2019, each tournament series has featured a Main Event in both No-Limit Hold'em and Short Deck at every stop.
The first Triton Poker Series was held in January 2016 in Parañaque, Philippines with a $200,000 NLH buy-in event won by Fedor Holz. Events continued to be held in Manila until Macau and Montenegro were added in 2017, and four more tournaments were held in Montenegro in May 2018. There, further events in the South Korean Jeju Province were announced for the end of July 2018. The first events of 2019 were also played in Jeju-do in March. At the second event in 2019 the variant Pot-Limit Omaha was played for the first time at Triton Poker Series.
At the beginning of August 2019 the Triton Million for Charity took place in London which was the most expensive poker tournament to date with a buy-in of one million Pound sterling. The tournament series planned for February 2020 in Jeju-do was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The planned holding in Montenegro in May 2020 was also canceled at the end of March 2020. The return of the tournament series in Bali announced for February 2022 also had to be postponed due to COVID-19 pandemic as well as four tournaments in Sochi due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Ultimately the first tournament after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic took place in April 2022 in Northern Cyprus, known as the Triton Poker Cyprus – Special Edition and lasted for six days from April 2 to 7, 2022.
After the success in Northern Cyprus, Triton Poker continued to strengthen its popularity in Europe with Triton High Roller Series Madrid in May 2022, and returned to Northern Cyprus in September the same year. The second Triton Super High Roller Series Cyprus included the special $200,000 Coin Rivet Invitational, and was slated to last from September 5 to 19, 2022 when one of Triton Poker's co-founders, Ivan Leow, died of a heart attack on September 17, 2022. The tournament was immediately cancelled upon his death to allow family, friends, and the poker community who was present to pay tribute to his memories.
The Triton Poker tournaments are broadcast via their YouTube channel and the live streaming platform Twitch featuring commentators with poker background including Lex Veldhuis and Randy Lew.
