High Rollers Battle For Supremacy Once Again on Day 1 of the $100,000 Triton Main Event
A World Series of Poker bracelet is the pinnacle of a poker player’s career. A Triton Series trophy is the ambition of every high roller playing at the game’s biggest stakes. One player will get both of them in a few days, and the journey begins today on Day 1 of the $100,000 Triton Main Event at the 2024 WSOP Paradise.
The lights have just dimmed on the Triton main stage after Alejandro Lococo’s victory in the Triton Million yesterday. Now some of poker’s biggest names get another shot to chase glory and a massive prize pool when action gets underway at noon local time inside the Atlantis Paradise Island Bahamas.
Players begin the tournament with a 250,000 starting stack. The action on Day 1 consists of ten 50-minute levels, with a 15-minute break after every two levels. Late registration is open until the start of Day 2 tomorrow, with unlimited reentries allowed during the registration period.
This is the first year that Triton has partnered with the WSOP, but last year’s WSOP Paradise featured a similar $100,000 Ultra High Roller event. Masashi Oya of Japan emerged victorious over a field of 111 players, defeating Jason Koon heads-up to win $2,940,000. Leon Sturm, Nick Schulman, and Ben Heath were among the players to make the final table.
