The Triton Poker Series, which began in a small venue in the Philippines in 2016, has chosen Jeju as the first venue for its 10th-anniversary year in 2026. This festival, held from March 5 to April 1 at Jeju Shinhwa World Les A Casino, is the largest single event in its history, combining Triton ONE and the Super High Roller Series (SHRS). A total of 31 events will run non-stop for 28 days, making Jeju once again the focal point for poker fans worldwide.
The Door Opens for Mid-Stakes Players โ Triton ONE
Triton ONE, running from March 5 to 15, is the second series of the mid-stakes brand that successfully debuted in Jeju last September. Buy-ins range from $2,000 to $15,000, creating a structure that allows a broader range of players to participate compared to the existing Super High Roller Series. The flagship $8,000 Main Event will run from March 10 to 15 with three starting flights, and entry can also be secured through $1,500 qualifiers. In the previous series, Joshua Gebissa emerged as an instant star, outlasting 1,046 players to take home $975,225. As the field size is expected to grow even larger this series, there's a high probability that the first-place prize will exceed $1 million.
For the first time in this series, Triton ONE has added three PLO (Pot-Limit Omaha) events ($2,000, $3,000, $6,000). This expands the options for players looking to venture into formats beyond Hold'em. Online qualifiers are being held through title sponsor QQPK, offering a step-by-step satellite structure starting from just $5.50, opening the door for anyone to reach the main events.
Highest Buy-in Women-Only Events in Poker History Introduced
Triton ONE Jeju 2026 marks the first time in the series' history that women-only events have been introduced. These include the $2,000 buy-in ONE-W Night Bounty Quattro (Event #6) and the $3,000 buy-in ONE-W Championship (Event #9). Triton stated that these two events are the highest buy-in women-only tournaments in poker history. Following Xuan Liu's historic win as the first female Triton Series champion in Montenegro last May, the introduction of these women-only events is seen as a proactive step by Triton to expand diversity.
10th Anniversary Special Event โ $150,000 Super High Roller
The Super High Roller Series, running from March 14 to April 1, consists of 17 events, with buy-ins ranging from $20,000 to $150,000. The $150,000 buy-in 10th Anniversary Special will be held on March 26-27, marking the highest buy-in in Triton Series history. The Main Events comprise two tournaments: a $100,000 NLH (March 24-26) and a $100,000 PLO (March 29-31). A $50,000 PLO Mystery Bounty has also been introduced for the first time. Given that last year in Jeju, the $25,000 event saw 391 participants and the $100,000 Main Event had 285, both setting new Triton records for participation, new records are anticipated to be set in this 10th-anniversary series as well. All games will be broadcast live on Triton's official YouTube and Twitch channels.
