The Triton Super High Roller Series continued Tuesday in Jeju, South Korea, with Day 2 action in Event #12 — the $100,000 NLH Main Event, the marquee tournament of the ongoing Jeju II festival. When the money bags went up for the night, it was Austria’s Bernhard Binder sitting atop the counts, leading a final 12 that will play down to a champion when the tournament resumes today.
Binder arrives at this stage already carrying serious momentum. The 27-year-old captured the WSOP Paradise Super Main Event in December for a life-changing $10 million payday, then backed it up in March by winning his first Triton title outright — Event #8, the $125,000 NLH, worth $2,137,953 after topping a stacked 84-entry field. Since then, he has been one of the most consistently dangerous players on the circuit, and a Main Event win here would be his first Triton title of this size on home turf against arguably the toughest field of the festival.
How the structure got here
The $100,000 Main Event follows Triton’s usual three-day marathon format: players started Day 1 on Sept. 14 with 250,000 in chips and 50-minute levels, with re-entry open through the start of Day 2. Day 2 played out Sept. 15, whittling the field down toward the money and, eventually, to the final 12 players who return today for the third and final day, with cards back in the air at 1 p.m. local time.
| Day | Date | Notes |
| Day 1 | Sept 14 | Starting stack 250,000; re-entry open through Day 2 |
| Day 2 | Sept 15 | Field cut down; Binder emerges as chip leader |
| Day 3 | Sept 16 | Final 12 return at 1 p.m. local; plays to a champion |
A Main Event with history behind it
This isn’t the first time Triton’s Jeju Main Event has produced fireworks. Back in March, American pro Ben Tollerene won the same $100,000 title for $3,766,000 after outlasting a field of 178 entrants — his second career Triton Main Event victory, capping a run that also included a PLO title from Montenegro. Tollerene, notably, is also part of the current Jeju II festival field, adding another live storyline for anyone tracking the leaderboard across events this trip.
| Why this matters beyond the buy-inA Main Event win would give Binder two of the biggest live scores of the year — the WSOP Paradise Super Main Event and a Triton Jeju Main Event title — inside a single 12-month stretch. Few players build that kind of resume this fast; Binder has been on tour for roughly three years. |
What to watch on Day 3
With 12 players left, there’s still a long climb to the title, and payouts typically steepen sharply from this point through the final table. Expect the usual Triton final-table trimming: a bubble-adjacent stretch as the group narrows toward a televised final table, followed by the livestreamed conclusion later in the day. Binder holds the chip lead entering the day, but at this buy-in level, stack sizes can shift dramatically in a handful of hands — this is a field with several former champions and career six- and seven-figure earners still in contention.
