Triton Poker’s Jeju festival has concluded, distributing more than $100 million in prize money across 14 tournaments. The series drew several of the game’s top names, who left with significant titles and cashes.
Poker Hall of Famer Nick Schulman was among the standout performers, capturing the Triton Main Event for over $3.8 million. He also placed second in the $53,000 7-Handed No-Limit Hold’em event, earning $810,279.
The largest individual score of the series belonged to Brazil’s Joao Simao, who claimed the $200,000 No-Limit Hold’em Invitation for a massive $7.25 million. Other notable winners in Jeju included Nick Petrangelo, Alex Theologis, and Ben Tollerene, each securing a tournament victory.
With Jeju in the books, Triton now shifts its focus to Europe for the inaugural Triton ONE series, set to run at Merit Royal Diamond in North Cyprus. The festival kicks off November 5 and comprises 22 tournaments spanning a range of buy-ins from $2,000 to $15,000, with $1,500 satellites offering entry into the Main Event.
The $8,000 buy-in Main Event will feature three starting flights before concluding on November 15, marking the final day of the Triton ONE series and setting the stage for the subsequent Triton Super High Roller Series in North Cyprus.
Other highlights on the schedule include the $3,000 QQPK Genesis opening the series, the $10,000 No-Limit Hold’em 7-Handed on November 9, the $15,000 Triton One High Roller on November 13, and the closing $5,000 No-Limit Hold’em Bounty Quattro event.
