Triton Poker closes its tenth anniversary season at the Merit Royal Diamond in Kyrenia, Northern Cyprus: Triton ONE from 5 to 15 November, then the Super High Roller Series to 30 November. Thirty-two events, buy-ins from $2,000 to $200,000, and the Player of the Year decided on the final night.

It is the first time Triton ONE has been played in Europe. The tour last visited Northern Cyprus in 2023, and the four weeks make it Season 5’s longest festival. The season opened at Jeju in March, as set out in the preview of the March festival in Jeju.
“It’s going to be even more exciting to see Triton ONE make its European debut,” said Andy Wong, CEO of Triton Poker Series, when the schedule was published on 13 September. The two circuits are explained in the complete guide to the Triton Poker Series. This piece covers November only.
Triton ONE North Cyprus: 16 Trophy Events From $2,000
Triton ONE, the lower buy-in circuit, runs 11 days with 16 trophy events, four $1,500 qualifiers into the Main Event and one $2,100 qualifier into the High Roller. Buy-ins run from $2,000 to $15,000, there are three Pot Limit Omaha events, and two tournaments are open to women only.

| 5 to 7 Nov | Triton ONE QQPK Genesis | $3,000 |

The $8,000 Main Event, 10 to 15 November
The Main Event is the one that sets the records. The first edition in Jeju in September 2025 drew 1,046 entries and paid Joshua Gebissa $975,225, and the March 2026 edition pushed that to 1,230 entries, a $8,945,790 prize pool and $1,160,000 for Zhao Wenjie after a heads-up deal.
Kyrenia is a shorter flight for most of Europe than Jeju, which is the case for a third straight increase. The four $1,500 qualifiers run on consecutive days from 8 November, and the Main Event’s starting flights begin on 10 November.
PLO, Women’s Events and the $15,000 High Roller
Three PLO events at $6,000, $3,000 and $2,000 carry the format Triton ONE added in March, and the two ONE-W events on 8 and 9 November are open to women only.
The $15,000 High Roller on 13 to 15 November is the biggest buy-in on this side of the festival. It is also the last event before the Super High Roller Series takes over the same room.

Super High Roller Series: $25,000 to $200,000 in 16 Days
The senior circuit runs 16 events from 15 to 30 November, ten in No Limit Hold’em and six in Pot Limit Omaha or mixed formats. Two $100,000 Main Events, a $150,000 Anniversary Special and the $200,000 Invitational sit in the middle of the schedule.
| Dates | Event | Buy-in |
|---|---|---|
| 15 to 17 Nov | NLH Titi Poker | $25,000 |
| 16 to 17 Nov | NLH 8-Handed | $30,000 |

| 30 Nov | PLO Turbo Bounty Quattro | $30,000 |
Invitational X Returns to Cyprus
The $200,000 Invitational pairs invited businessmen with the professionals they bring. It has grown at every stop in 2026. Montenegro drew 137 entries in May and paid the six-time WSOP bracelet winner Adrian Mateos a career-best $6,370,000.
Jeju II in September drew 173 entries for a $34,600,000 prize pool, the largest in the event’s history, and Joao Simao came back from two big blinds to win $7,250,000. Ramin Hajiyev won the last one played in Northern Cyprus, in 2023.
Two $100,000 Main Events and the Final Anniversary Special
The $100,000 NLH Main Event runs from 22 to 24 November and the PLO version from 27 to 29 November. The three NLH Main Events of 2026 have all gone past $15,000,000 in prize money, with Nick Schulman’s 196-entry field in Jeju II the biggest at $19,600,000.
The $150,000 10th Anniversary Special on 24 to 25 November is the fourth and last of the anniversary year. Paul Phua won the first in March for $3,226,000, Aleksejs Ponakovs took Montenegro for $3,027,000, and Nick Petrangelo won at Jeju II for $2,212,910 after a heads-up deal.

Player of the Year: Dvoress Leads by 1,108 Into the Final Stop
Dan Dvoress heads to Kyrenia on 4,376 points in the Ivan Leow Player of the Year race, 1,108 clear of Isaac Haxton, with a $200,000 bonus on the line. The race runs across all 16 Super High Roller events, so the top six can still be rearranged.
| Rank | Player | Country | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Dan Dvoress | Canada | 4,376 |
| 2 | Isaac Haxton | United States | 3,268 |
| 3 | Ben Tollerene | United States | 3,096 |
| 4 | Wai Kiat Lee | Malaysia | 3,061 |
| 5 | Punnat Punsri | Thailand | 3,038 |
| 6 | Danny Tang | Hong Kong | 2,945 |
Standings per Triton Poker Series after Jeju II, 17 September 2026.
Dvoress built the lead with three titles at Montenegro, the first time anyone had won three events at one festival, then added the $30,000 NLH 8-Handed at Jeju II for $942,000. That took him to seven titles, level with Matthias Eibinger and Mike Watson and behind only one man.
The gap is bigger than the one that decided last season. Artur Martirosian beat Alex Foxen by 700 points in 2025, and Dvoress has more than that in hand with a stop to play. Haxton held the lead before Montenegro and needs a title-sized swing in Kyrenia.
Koon’s 13th Title Chase Runs Out of Stops
Record title holder Jason Koon is still on 12. Dvoress beat him heads-up in the $100,000 Short Deck at Jeju in March, where Koon took $997,000 for second, and Richard Gryko denied him in the $75,000 PLO at Montenegro.
Koon’s count did not move at Jeju II either, which leaves 16 events in Northern Cyprus as the last chance to extend the record in the anniversary year. His lead over the chasing trio of Dvoress, Eibinger and Watson is five titles.
Getting a Seat at Triton North Cyprus 2026
Entry works differently on the two circuits. Triton ONE is open entry with qualifiers on site, the Super High Roller Series is direct buy-in after registration, and the Invitational goes through Triton’s VIP relations team.
| Route | Into | Cost | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Live qualifiers, 8 to 11 Nov | $8,000 Triton ONE Main Event | $1,500 | Open |
| Live qualifier, 13 Nov | $15,000 Triton ONE High Roller | $2,100 | Open |
| iPoker online satellites | Main Event package | €0.01 to €500 steps | Closed 19 Oct |
| Direct buy-in | Super High Roller Series | $25,000 to $150,000 | Registration first |
| Application | $200,000 Invitational | $200,000 | VIP relations team |
iPoker became Triton’s official satellite partner in October, and 19 iPoker sites, RedStar Poker among them, ran a €0.01 to €500 ladder for 20 Main Event packages worth €9,000 each. The last finals played on 18 and 19 October, so those seats are taken.
On the Invitational draw, anyone whose main income is poker plays on the professional side, and invitees are seated apart from the pros through the early stages.
Every Triton stream is free on the tour’s YouTube and Twitch channels, with chip counts and payouts in the Triton Poker Plus app. The first cards go in the air on Thursday 5 November, and every 2026 result from both circuits is logged as each event finishes.
