Triton ONE & Super High Roller Series Northern Cyprus 2026: Full Schedule, $200K Invitational & POY Race
On this page
Every poker season needs a big finish, and Triton has planned a huge one. To close out its 10th anniversary year, the tour is heading back to Northern Cyprus for nearly a month of poker, from November 5 to 30, 2026.
The festival comes in two parts. Triton ONE, the tour’s mid-stakes series, runs first from November 5 to 15. Then the Super High Roller Series (SHRS) takes over from November 15 to 30, with buy-ins climbing as high as $200,000.
Three big storylines will run through the whole month: a stacked schedule, the $200K Triton Invitational, and two Player of the Year races that are still up for grabs. If you’re planning your end-of-year poker trips, check out our complete live poker tournament calendar too.

Why Northern Cyprus Means So Much to Triton
This isn’t just another stop for Triton. Northern Cyprus has played a big part in the tour’s story.
In April 2022, it hosted Triton’s first event after the COVID-19 pandemic. Triton came back that September for another series, which included the $200,000 Coin Rivet Invitational. During that festival, Triton co-founder Ivan Leow passed away. Today, the tour’s season-long Player of the Year award carries his name.
Triton last brought its Super High Roller Series to the Merit Royal Diamond in 2023, so this is its first visit in more than three years. It’s a fitting place to wrap up a 10-year celebration.
Part One: Triton ONE (November 5–15)
Triton launched Triton ONE in 2025 to give more players a chance to compete on its stage without paying super high roller prices. Buy-ins here range from $2,000 to $15,000.
Must-Know Events
- $8,000 Triton ONE Main Event (November 10–15): The centrepiece of the series and the title every mid-stakes player will want.
- $15,000 Triton ONE High Roller (November 13–15): The biggest buy-in of Triton ONE, and likely a magnet for pros arriving early for the SHRS.
- $5,000 NLH Mystery Bounty (November 7–9): One of two Triton ONE events getting full live reporting.
- One-W events: Two tournaments just for women, a $3,000 Championship on November 8 and a $2,000 Bounty Quattro on November 9.

Omaha players will be happy to see PLO back on the schedule. It was missing from the last Triton Poker Jeju September 2026 stop, and now it gets its own run to close out the series, led by the $100,000 PLO Main Event.
The $200K Triton Invitational Explained
If you only follow one event this November, make it this one. The Triton Invitational is a format you won’t find anywhere else in poker.
How It Works
Each invitee, usually a businessperson or wealthy recreational player, enters the tournament and picks a professional player to join them. Both sides pay the $200,000 buy-in.
The invitees and the pros start in separate groups. After a set number of levels, the two fields merge into one tournament, and from then on everyone plays for the same prize pool.
The structure is deep and slow on purpose. Players start with 300,000 chips, and levels last 50 minutes, so the event plays out over three full days:
| Date | Day |
| Friday, November 20 | Day 1 |
| Saturday, November 21 | Day 2 |
| Sunday, November 22 | Final Day |
Pairings are already being revealed on the Triton Plus Poker app.
Can Cyprus Top Jeju?
The bar is very high. At Triton Jeju in September, the Invitational drew a record 60 pairings, and Brazil’s João Simão won the biggest Triton Invitational ever, beating Biao Ding heads-up for $7.25 million. What made it even more remarkable is that Simão was down to just two big blinds at one point.
The last time the Invitational came to Northern Cyprus, in 2023, Ramin Hajiyev took the title. Whoever wins this time will join a very exclusive list.
The Other Headline Events
$100,000 NLH Main Event (November 22–24)
The Main Event starts the same day the Invitational finishes. Nick Schulman won the last one in Jeju, adding another big trophy to a Hall of Fame career.
$150,000 10th Anniversary Special (November 24–25)
This event marks Triton’s decade in poker. Nick Petrangelo won the version in Jeju after a wild hand involving three blind all-ins, so expect plenty of action here too.
The POY Race: Who’s Leading?
Both of Triton’s season-long races finish in Northern Cyprus, so every cash in November matters.
Ivan Leow Player of the Year
The winner gets $200,000, and for the first time, the top 10 will also be paid.
Daniel Dvoress is in control. He holds a lead of more than 1,100 points over Isaac Haxton, which means the others need big results, likely more than one, to catch him.
| Rank | Player | Points |
| 1 | Daniel Dvoress | 4,376 |
| 2 | Isaac Haxton | 3,268 |
| 3 | Ben Tollerene | 3,096 |
| 4 | Wai Kiat Lee | 3,061 |
| 5 | Punnat Punsri | 3,038 |
Player ONE
This is the first year of the Player ONE race for Triton ONE events, with $66,000 in total rewards.
Spain’s Jon Vallinas leads by 122 points. That’s a much smaller gap, so one deep run in the Triton ONE Main Event or High Roller could flip the standings.
| Rank | Player | Points |
| 1 | Jon Vallinas | 982 |
| 2 | Thi Xoa Nguyen | 860 |
| 3 | Huu Dung Nguyen | 773 |
| 4 | Yang Wang | 766 |
| 5 | Yinan Zhou | 746 |
