Triton ONE & Super High Roller in Northern Cyprus: 32 Events + Buy-Ins from $2,000

Triton Poker is wrapping up its 10th anniversary season in Northern Cyprus with two series.

November 5: The Merit Royal Diamond will open its doors to Triton ONE, with modest buy-ins by the brand's standards, ranging from $2,000 to $15,000.
November 15: 16 Super High Roller Series tournaments with buy-ins from $25,000 to $200,000.

A total of 32 tournaments and 26 days of virtually nonstop poker action.

The Super High Roller series is returning to Cyprus for the first time since 2023. Back then, Ramin Hadjiev was the series' star. The Azerbaijani businessman won the Invitational and a $4.12 million prize.

Triton ONE: Running November 5 to 15

Triton ONE first took place in September 2025 in Jeju, and the first Main Event, which cost $8,000, attracted 1,046 entries. The prize pool was approximately $7.6 million. Cyprus will be the series' first European stop. The schedule includes 16 tournaments and six satellites.

The schedule is diverse:

Hold'em
Omaha
Mystery Bounty
Women's tournaments
One-night-only fast-paced tournaments
Plenty of satellites.

We'll highlight the most interesting and important events :

🔹 QQPK Genesis, $3,000 (November 5–7): The opening tournament from the series' title partner. Four starting flights over two days, with up to three entries each. The pace of the flights varies, from 40-minute levels during the day to a fast-paced evening 1D flight with 20-minute levels. Only those who make it to the second day will qualify for the money.

🔹 NLH 8-Handed Quest, $3,000 (November 11–12): The most unusual format of the series. As soon as a player accumulates 1,000,000 chips, they cash, leave the table, and take that stack on Day 2. If less than a million chips remain, the last player moves on with what they have. Day 2 starts at Level 14, with the average stack being around 40 big blinds.

🔹 Main Event, $8,000 (November 10–15): The main tournament of the series with three starting days—November 10, 11, and 12. Stacks are 250,000 chips, levels are 40 minutes long, and you can enter each flight twice. Starting on the second day, levels are extended to an hour, with the final table set for November 15.

Super High Roller Series: November 15–30

The main stage of the festival kicks off on November 15, the day of the Triton ONE finals.

Titi Poker is an online poker room and official partner of Triton. Until November 1st, the room is giving away three tickets to the $25,000 Cyprus Series tournament, one each to the Sunday finals on October 18th and 25th, and one to November 1st. The qualifying process is multi-stage and begins with a freeroll: the top players in the freerolls receive tickets to a $15 satellite, then to a $150 step, and finally to the final tournament for $1,500. Satellites are held several times a day, and you can enter any of the intermediate steps directly.

The Super High Roller Series program includes 16 tournaments with buy-ins ranging from $25,000 to $200,000. The first week and a half are devoted to Hold'em, while the final days are devoted to Omaha.

🔹 Triton Invitational, $200,000 (November 20–22). The festival's most expensive tournament, with special rules. Some seats are awarded to invited guests—businessmen and poker enthusiasts selected by the organizers. Each guest chooses a professional player to play in the tournament. This isn't a team game: everyone has their own stack. On the first day, amateurs and professionals sit at separate tables, but from the second day, the fields merge. The list of early known participants include Danny Tang and Nick Petrangelo.

🔹 NLH Main Event, $100,000 (November 22–24). The Main Event starts on the day of the Invitational final. The buy-in and fee is 106,000 US, re-entry is 104,000 US, and re-entries are unlimited. Stack sizes are 250,000 US, and levels are 50 minutes long. Registration is open until the start of Day 2; Day 2 plays to the final table.

🔹 Omaha Week (November 25–30). The final part of the series is almost entirely devoted to PLO:

Mixed PLO/NLH 6-max for $30,000

Travel, Hotel & Leisure

Most nationalities can enter Northern Cypris with visa on arrival, or visa-free entry. At passport control in Ercan, you may be asked for a return ticket and hotel reservation, so it's best to have them handy. Also, check the expiration date of your passport. It's important to have at least six months remaining.

Both series will be held at the Merit Royal Diamond Hotel & Casino at Karavas 99350. The hotel is 10 km from the center of Kyrenia and 65 km from Ercan Airport.

You can check the location on Google Maps.

There's no time to get bored in between tournaments.

The hotel itself features the Diamond Olive Spa with a hammam and sauna, a fitness center, a squash court, two restaurants, and five bars. Kyrenia is 10 km away, where you can stroll along the old harbor and visit Kyrenia Castle.

The surrounding area boasts the Gothic Bellapais Abbey and the ruins of St. Hilarion Castle on the ridge above the city.
