According to him, the new series promises to be even bigger and more exciting. Wong emphasized that in May, there is no more attractive place for high-stakes players than the Maestral Resort in Montenegro. He also highlighted the return of the unique Triton Invitational as one of the most anticipated events of the year and promised that the schedule will fully meet the expectations of the brand’s fans. Nadia Leong, Triton’s Brand and Creative Director, emphasized the importance of 2026 for the company: “We are approaching an incredible milestone — Triton’s tenth anniversary. We have already announced the first two stops of the new season and are looking forward to players and the entire poker community seeing what we have planned.” A Decade of Triton Poker: Major Achievements Triton Poker was founded by players Richard Yong, Winfred Yu, and Andy Wong. The first tournament was held in 2016 in Paranaque, Philippines, where Fedor Holz became the NLH event champion with a $200,000 buy-in, winning $3,000,000. That same year, one of the Triton stops surpassed 100 entries for the first time, and in 2017, the series expanded beyond the Philippines, holding events in Macau and Montenegro. In 2018, the Short Deck discipline was added to the schedule — a dynamic format especially popular in Asia. The first major Short Deck tournament was held in Montenegro with a buy-in of HKD $1,000,000 (about $130,000), and the title was claimed by Jason Koon. He became the most successful player in the series, winning 12 Triton trophies and earning over $36,000,000 in these tournaments alone. 2019 was marked by the largest prize pool in poker history: Triton Million for Charity in London amassed $65,000,000. The winner was Aaron Zang, who defeated the toughest opponents and took home over $16,700,000. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the series took a break, but in 2022 it returned with a Super High Roller Series stop in Cyprus. In 2023, Triton held the first GG Super Million$ Live tournament in Vietnam with a $25,000 buy-in, attracting over 100 unique entries. In 2024 and 2025, tournament attendance continued to grow: Jeju hosted the largest-ever $100,000 buy-in event, and the new mid-stakes Triton ONE tour was launched with buy-ins from $2,000 to $20,000. In 2026, Triton Poker celebrates its tenth anniversary and is preparing another action-packed season for high-stakes poker fans. Key Names and Records of Triton Poker Fedor Holz — the first Triton Poker champion, winner of the $200,000 buy-in event in 2016 ($3,000,000 prize). Jason Koon — record holder for most Triton titles (12 wins), with total series earnings exceeding $36,000,000. Aaron Zang — winner of the largest tournament in poker history (Triton Million for Charity, London 2019), $16,700,000 prize. Among the organizers and faces of the brand are Richard Yong, Winfred Yu, Andy Wong, and Nadia Leong. Triton Poker Tournament Formats: Brief Overview No Limit Hold’em (NLH) — the classic poker format where players can bet any amount of chips at any time. Pot Limit Omaha (PLO) — a poker variant where each player gets four cards, and the maximum bet is limited to the size of the pot. Short Deck — a dynamic format where cards from two to five are removed from the deck, increasing the chances of strong hands and making the game more aggressive. Triton ONE is a mid-stakes tournament series with buy-ins from $2,000 to $20,000, aimed at a broader range of players who want to test themselves on a prestigious stage.
