A Match Made in Poker Heaven
This partnership is a match made in poker heaven. WPT Global, with its innovative online platform and global reach, is the perfect partner to help Triton expand its reach and bring high-stakes poker to a new generation of players. For WPT Global, this collaboration adds another layer of prestige to its already impressive portfolio of tournaments and events.
“We’re incredibly excited to be working with Triton Poker,” said Alex Scott, President of WPT Global. “Triton has become synonymous with the best in high-stakes poker, and by aligning ourselves with such a distinguished brand, we aim to create extraordinary opportunities for WPT Global players to experience poker on an even grander scale. “
Andy Wong, CEO of Triton Poker Series, is just as excited. “This game-changing partnership with WPT Global brings a unique opportunity for Triton Poker Series to expand our global reach,” he said. “By giving WPT Global’s users once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to qualify for our flagship event, the Triton Poker Super High Roller Series, we hope this invites a fresh injection of new players into the arena of ultra-high stakes and that we see new high-stakes dreams dealt.”
The WPT Global Slam: A New High-Stakes Showdown
As part of this exciting partnership, WPT Global is introducing the WPT Global Slam, a $25,000 buy-in tournament that will be a highlight of every Triton Poker Super High Roller Series stop this season. This tournament is designed to mirror the high-octane action and intense competition that Triton is known for, giving players a taste of the high-roller lifestyle. And the best part? WPT Global players will have exclusive opportunities to qualify for these events through satellites and promotions, making the dream of playing in a Triton high roller more attainable than ever.
This collaboration is about more than just big buy-ins and massive prize pools. It’s about growing the game of poker, welcoming new talent, and making high-stakes poker accessible to players across the globe. WPT Global and Triton Poker are committed to providing “unforgettable experiences” for players at all levels, both online and in live events.
Triton’s Rise to the Top
This partnership marks another milestone in Triton’s journey to becoming the premier destination for high-stakes poker events worldwide. It comes just three months after Triton made another groundbreaking move by partnering with the WSOP and GGPoker for the new Triton Millions at the upcoming 2024 WSOP Paradise in the Bahamas. This festival, with its $50 Million guaranteed Super Main Event, is set to be one of the biggest and most exciting poker tournaments in history. Clearly, Triton is on a mission to dominate the high-stakes tournament scene, and this collaboration with WPT Global is a major step in that direction.
