The Triton Million is Underway
With mere minutes to go before the tournament gets underway, Triton founders Richard Yong and Paul Phua took the stage to say a few words. After Yong spoke in his native language first, Phua then welcomed everyone to the Triton Million and said the biggest challenge was to get a big enough field to make the event a success and generate enough for charity.
Phua feels an immense sense of honor and pride in the fact that they did it and brought together a field of 54 players, making it a roaring success and raising at least £2,700,000 for charity. He thanked all those that made the event possible.
Rob Yong of partypoker LIVE, sponsor of the event, took the stage next to announce the shuffle up and deal. "Shuffle up and deal, guys!" he said with a smile, ready to get things underway. Triton Poker tournament director Luca Vivaldi then drew for the button, which will start in seat 7 at each table. Shortly after, cards went in the air to officially kick off the Triton Million.
