Triton Poker Introduces Short Deck Ante-Only High Rollers Montenegro, May 2018


April 2018 (Budva, MNE)
– Triton Poker returns for its third series of scintillating high stakes poker action, and the magnificent Maestral Resort & Casino in Budva, Montenegro acts as host of the opening event.

Tried and tested.

Bold and brass.

Innovative and interesting.

Triton Poker has it all.

For six days, the Triton brand and the Maestral Resort & Casino pulls the high roller echelon into its bosom for four outstanding events.
The action begins at 1 pm (local time) on the 13 May with an HKD 240,000+10,000 6-Max No-Limit Hold’em Event (multiple re-entries)
spread over two days. From there we move to the centrepiece of the week, the HKD 960,000+40,000 No-Limit Hold’em Main Event (15-16 May, 1 pm local time). This two-day event allows for multiple re-entries, and a shot clock is in force.

And then for something extraordinary.

For the first time in a media covered live event, Triton Poker hosts not one but two Short Deck Ante-Only events:

– The HKD 240,000+10,000 (multiple re-entry event) takes place 12-13 May at 1 pm (local time).

– Finally, on the 17 May, a HKD 960,000+40,000 Short Deck Ante-Only event begins 17 May at 4 pm (local time), with the final day beginning at 1 pm on the 18 May.

Short Deck poker has taken the Asian poker scene by storm with its frenetic pace and gambling action. As the name implies, the game has a smaller 36-card deck with the 2s, 3s, 4s & 5s removed, and the ace doubles as a five.

Last year, Manig Loeser won his first-ever High Roller title when he defeated 52 entrants to win the HKD 16,877,600 (USD 2,162,644) first prize in the HKD 960,000+10,000 Montenegro Main Event. Fellow countryman, Fedor Holz outlasted 41 entrants in the HKD 240,000+10,000 6-Max Event winning HKD 3,472,200 (USD 444,893).

Situated on the Adriatic Coast, the Maestral Resort & Casino is the perfect setting for Triton Poker players. The Resort boasts 205 contemporary rooms and 22 luxurious suites.
