Daniel Negreanu makes his Triton debut and $21 million is in the prize pool so far for the event this weekend.
Triton has announced the second and third wave of pairings for this week’s $1 million invitational event at WSOP Paradise.
The $1 million invitational event will see VIP amateur players buy-in for $500,000 and the only way a professional can enter is with an invite from them (and another $500,000).
As is the case in all of these Pro/AM events, the VIPs play amongst themselves and the pros do the same, for Day 1, before the two fields combine on Day 2.
This December, Triton Poker and WSOP unite in paradise!
🌴 From Dec 6-19, 2024, experience the ultimate high-stakes showdown with the Triton Million and Triton Main Event.

The big news is that Daniel Negreanu is making his Triton debut in the Bahamas, after an invite from Hustler Casino boss Ryan Feldman.
Spare a thought for Michael Addamo, who is currently on social media enthusiastically asking for a rich VIP to give him an invite via the medium of poker memes.
42 players are confirmed so far, meaning there is a $21 million prize pool and counting.
