The Triton Super High Roller Series emerged on the live poker circuit in 2016 and immediately attracted the biggest names and the high-stakes experts with a combination of dedicated service and exclusive buy-ins at first-class venues. As of 2016, Triton Poker has contributed proceeds from its events to different charities, including the women’s cancer support group, Project Pink and the disaster relief organization, Red Cross.
Previous winners of the Triton Super High Roller series include Fedor Holz, Dan Cates and Wai Kin Yong. Holz kicked off a spectacular 2016 by taking down the initial $200,000 Triton Super High Roller as part of the World Poker Tour National for a payday of $3,463,500.
Cates followed in his footsteps by emerging victorious in the Suncity Cup in November 2016 for HK$ 2,785,900. During the same festival, Yong, son of well-known high-roller and Founder of Triton Richard Yong, claimed the title in the HK$ 500,000 Main Event for HK$ 16,135,550 (approximately $2,080,557).
