With the 2026 Triton Super High Roller Series Jeju II already well underway, attention now turns to Event #12: $100,000 NLH Main Event, which gets underway later today, with the opening day scheduled to begin at 3:00 p.m. local time inside the LES A Casino.
Few tournaments on the poker calendar carry quite the same prestige as a Triton Main Event, and the six-figure buy-in is sure to attract a field packed with the world's elite high-stakes regulars. With Triton having established Jeju as a key destination on its annual schedule, another stellar turnout is expected as players battle for one of the most coveted titles on the high-roller circuit.
The event follows a three-day structure, with players starting with a 250,000 stack and playing 50-minute levels throughout. The opening flight will play through ten levels before players bag up for the night, with a 15-minute break after every two levels and a 45-minute dinner break after Level 6. Re-entry is permitted, while registration will remain open until the beginning of Day 2.
Day 1 Structure
| Level | Small Blind | Big Blind | Ante |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 500 | 1,000 | 1,000 |
| 2 | 500 | 1,000 | 1,000 |
| 15-minute break | |||
| 3 | 1,000 | 1,500 | 1,500 |
| 4 | 1,000 | 2,000 | 2,000 |

| 5 | 1,000 | 2,500 | 2,500 |

| 9 | 3,000 | 6,000 | 6,000 |
| 10 | 4,000 | 8,000 | 8,000 |
Those who survive Day 1, or indeed buy in before the start of second day’s play, will return at 1:00 p.m. local time on Tuesday, September 15, for Day 2.
Those still standing after that will return for the third and final day on Wednesday, September 16, with play again scheduled to begin at 1:00 p.m.
The event also arrives with the most recent Triton $100,000 Main Event champion still fresh in the memory. Back in May, Danny Tang conquered a 159-entry field in Montenegro to earn a career-best $3,522,000 payday. Tang is also in attendance in Jeju and is expected to take his seat in the field as he looks to defend his title.
