The Triton Super High Roller Poker Series is all set to go with the final two tables of its $100K Main Event after a record-breaking field of 285 players turned out for what is now the largest six-figure buy-in event in poker history.
The tournament crushed its previous record of 216 entries, set at the last Jeju stop in 2024. The 180 unique players tossed in another 105 re-entries to stack up a prize pool of $28.5 million, from which $5.555 million will go to the winner. The eight-figure prize pool is the largest ever in a non-Invitational Triton event.
Final two tables
Huang Wenjie leads the way with just a hair under 10 million with blinds at 50K/125K/125K. Dan 'Jungleman' Cates is close behind while Santhosh Suvarna is their nearest chaser.
Triton $100K Main Event Table 1
The table captain for the first group will be Jungleman, with Artur Martirosian sitting more than 20 big blinds in his rearview mirror. Other notables include Aliaksandr Shylko, Alex Boika, and Nacho Barbero, who won the $30K PLO Bounty in Jeju at last year's event.
Jungleman picked up a lot of his chips with 22 players left in the tournament when Ben Heath took a shot with pocket sevens. A pair of pocket queens held to pick up the late elimination and the second-biggest bag of Day 2.
