Everything about this Triton Super High Roller festival in London this week was always certain to be enormous. Don’t forget, tomorrow we’re starting officially the biggest buy-in poker tournament in the game’s history, which will pay the biggest ever first prize.
This afternoon, however, we’re just dipping our toes in the deep water with a £25,000 buy-in single-day turbo tournament — a gentle warm-up for the coming nine days of very, very expensive action. But this one too is very well worth winning.
During a re-entry period lasting 12 levels, tournament organisers accepted 117 buy-ins, including 44 re-entries, which built a prize pool of £2.75 million. That means that the winner will get £690,000 (around $840,000) from a single day’s work.
Educated predictions put the finish time at between 2 and 3 o’clock in the morning, so stick around (or come back in the morning) to find out how this one played out.
NOTE: This event did not finish inside its allocated single day and seven players will return at 1pm on August 4 to play to a winner.
