With the festive season upon us and poker writers scraping the bottom of the barrel in search of something to write about, Lee Davy, releases his first poker prediction of 2019, that the Triton Poker Series will replace the Super High Roller Bowl as the Super Bowl of poker.
2018 was an incredible year for the High Roller stratum of the poker industry. I don’t have the time or the patience to crunch the numbers, but I will sit in a car filled with exhaust fumes if it wasn’t a record year for High Roller prize pools.
The highlight of the year for me was the emergence of the Triton Poker Series as a real force in the High Roller niche. It’s different from the European Poker Tour (EPT), partypoker MILLIONS, World Poker Tour (WPT) and World Series of Poker (WSOP) as it only caters for High Rollers allowing the organisers to take care of their customers every need.
Before Triton held successful tours in Montenegro and Jeju, Poker Central dominated the High Roller niche with the ARIA High Rollers and the Triple Crown of US Poker Open, Poker Masters and the Super High Roller Bowl, with most players agreeing that the latter was THE premier poker tournament for high stakes players, globally.
