When you think of the Triton Poker Super High Roller Series, chances are you think of nosebleed buy-ins, super-crusher GTO wizards, and an unparalleled viewing and playing experience.
Since its inception, the Triton Poker tour has consistently catered to the upper echelons of the poker world — and it's been hugely successful. Numbers at the recent Jeju event were huge, with the $100,000 Main Event attracting a field of 285 entries — a new record for six-figure buy-in events.
For most players, playing in a Triton event is a dream. Soon, however, that dream could become a reality for a much larger player base, with Triton set to offer more lower buy-in events.

The $15K buy-in at the recent Jeju festival was the lowest of any Triton event. And a recent article from Triton revealed the tour is set to further expand to a wider player base, with the same high-end Triton production.
"It’s something of an open secret that the tour will soon move into a different arena, offering a taste of the Triton experience to players with slightly smaller bankrolls," the article revealed.
"While the bespoke VIP treatment of the Super High Roller Series cannot be replicated across vast fields, there will be no compromising of Triton’s standards in production and poker experience."
Triton CEO Andy Wong said, "It’s a lower buy-in but a larger operation to give people a taste of the experience and the platform we’re creating. From the moment you walk onto the tournament floor, everything runs with finesse. A benchmark standard has to be there.
"Rest assured that in the coming years, Triton will be more accessible to a lot of people around the world," Wong continued. "Right now, we go to certain cities in Europe and Asia, but we hope that we can be open to people in different countries who haven’t yet experienced Triton.”
While the exact details of the expansion into new territories and player pools remain unknown, the possibility of a more affordable tier of Triton events presents an exciting future for the tour — and poker players across the globe.
