Day 1 of the Triton Poker High Roller Kicks Off at 5pm
The Triton Super High Roller series just finished a very successful festival at the Landing Casino in Jeju, South Korea, and as soon as the final interview was done, the live stream crew assembled the feature table setup and headed over to Sochi. In cooperation with the partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Russia festival, Triton will host two exclusive High Roller events at the Casino Sochi and the first of them is scheduled to kick off at 5 p.m. local time.
The tournament comes with a buy-in of RUB3,000,000 (approximately $50,000) and Day 1 will feature up to eight levels of 45 minutes each with a live stream available as soon as the cards get in the air. All participants will receive 50,000 in chips and the registration for the two-day event remains open for another two hours on Day 2 the next day.
During the registration period, unlimited re-entries are allowed and the event is also played with a 30-second shot clock. All participants receive six time banks at the start, another three when the registration closes and additional three time banks will be awarded at the final table.
Among others, the Triton Poker founders Paul Phua and Richard Yong will be taking part and Phil Ivey is also expected to join the action. On top of that, you can look forward to High Roller regulars such as Mustapha Kanit, Niall Farrell, Manig Loeser, Dietrich Fast, Patrik Antonius, and Johannes Becker.
The PokerNews live reporting team will be on the floor to provide all the high stakes action in the next few days, so make sure to tune back in regularly to find out who has made the trip to beautiful Sochi.
