There's a lovely story developing in the $15k NLH 8-Handed in the form of Chinese player Yin Tao.
Tao has never appeared at a Triton event and is now seven-handed against some of poker's greats with $642,000 up top for the winner.
Can the debutant write his name into Triton folklore? Watch the stream to find out!
There's a gigantic obstacle to victory out the way of the remaining 7 players in the $15,000 NLH 8-Handed, after poker great Adrian Mateos was eliminated in 8th position.
Mateos moved all-in for his remaining 1,800,000, with only Victor Chong making the call.
Adrian Mateos: K♥J♥
Victor Chong: 8♣8♠
It was a classic race, and Chong could not look as the 9♠4♦3♠Q♣6♣ board ran out clean for his snowmen. Mateos graciously knuckled the table in defeat and the future Hall of Famer departed to the cash desk.
Away from the excitement of the $15k final table briefly, a century of entries has been hit on Day 1 of the $20k NLH 8-Handed, with plenty of time left to register.
It's still early days here with play through Level 5, but Gytis Lazauninkas and Danilo Velasevic will be happy with their starts, building a nice lead over the rest of the field.
Elsewhere, we've spotted poker royalty in the room in the shape of Jean-Noel Thorel who is doing what he does best and grinding up a stack.
It's time. We've got a final table steeped in quality, and you can watch all the action on the Triton live stream below:
It's time for the light show, walkouts, applause, and smoke! One of these nine players will be crowned the first champion of Triton Super High Roller Series Jeju II:
As the remaining players in the $15k NLH 8-Handed battle it out elsewhere in the room for the honor of becoming the series' first champion, the $20k NLH 8-Handed is also getting underway.
With 18 levels scheduled before bagging later tonight, several of the game's greatest are here from the flag fall, with Phil Ivey, Kayhan Mokri, and Mikita Badziakouski (among many others) all taking their seats during the early stages.
With the exciting climax of the $15k event taking center stage on stream today, the Triton Plus app is your best bet for all the hand histories and chip counts from your favorite stars.
Alex Theologis has used kings to maximum advantage once again in the $15k, this time to crack the aces of Triton champion Bernhard Binder.
Punnat Punsri made it 160,000 from under the gun, Binder in middle position three-bet to 320,000, before Theologis in the big blind four-bet to 610,000. The reigning GPI Player of the Year Punsri got out the way, Binder shoved for his remaining 1,100,000, Theologis called and the cards were on their backs.
Alex Theologis: K♠K♦
Bernhard Binder: A♥A♣
Theologis needed help from the deck and he got it as the dealer fanned a K♥2♣7♥10♦3♦ runout to confirm the exit of one of the year's breakout stars in Binder.
A phenomenal Triton debut for Liu Qiang, who has bowed out in 17th place for $40,000 in the $15,000 NLH 8-Handed, outlasting the vast majority of a 206-entry field packed with some of the world's best players.
If it's any consolation for Qiang, there was no bad beat (albeit a nasty runout) behind his exit. He ran into the turned quads of Alex Theologis, who has now taken a commanding lead in the tournament.
The two shared a sporting fist bump as Qiang made his way to the rail, leaving just 16 players in contention. GG's sir.
