Triton Poker continues to carve out a different path from the mundane after announcing an innovative new concept for their £1m Triton Million event in London.

The little hand points to the ‘two’, big to the ‘one’. A cadaverous man with gecko eyes, with more grey hair sprouting out of his ears than on his head, munches on a parsnip, Father’s Day card standing like a paper rocket in the middle of the table.

As he gestures with his hands, Italian style, I wonder what he would say if I told him that a bunch of people were preparing to pay £1m to play in a poker tournament. His parsnip would hit his wife like a hammer. It’s as unbelievable as learning the queen’s crown is made out of fingers and toes, and yet it’s happening, and in her backyard.

The Park Lane Hilton in London (the purple space on Monopoly you all want to buy) will supply the decadence and decanters; Triton provides the players.
