With the Triton Super High Roller Series Jeju II nearing its conclusion, the stakes remain as high as ever at LES A Casino, with just two events left on the schedule.
The penultimate tournament is Event #15: $150,000 10th Anniversary Special, a fittingly prestigious event as Triton continues its celebrations after a decade at the forefront of high-stakes tournament poker. The action gets underway at 2:00 p.m. local time later today, with another star-studded field expected to take to the felt.
The event follows a two-day structure, with players starting with a 200,000 stack and playing 45-minute levels on Day 1. 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.
Those who survive Day 1, or buy in before the start of the second day's play, will return at 12:00 p.m. local time on Thursday, September 17, for Day 2, with levels reduced to 40 minutes, and play continuing until a champion is crowned.

The anniversary theme adds significance, with Triton having grown from a high-stakes poker series into one of the biggest brands in the game. Over the past decade, its events have become synonymous with enormous buy-ins, elite fields and some of the most prestigious titles available to tournament players.
Earlier this year, the first 10th Anniversary Special in Jeju produced a particularly fitting champion, with Triton co-founder Paul Phua overcoming an 81-entry field to claim the $3,226,000 top prize.
Now, with this series nearing its finale, another elite field will have the opportunity to create its own piece of Triton history.
