Triton Poker announced on Friday, Nov. 13, that it has added a $1,000,000 buy-in heads-up no-limit hold’em tournament to its Super High Roller Series in North Cyprus.
The Duel Heads-Up Tournament will take place from Nov. 25-27 at Merit Royal Diamond Casino & Resort. Card Player reported that it will have the largest buy-in for a heads-up no-limit hold’em shootout tournament.
A random draw will set the bracket. In each pairing, the first player to win twice will advance.
The wider festival was already scheduled to include 16 events from Nov. 15-30, with buy-ins ranging from $25,000 to $200,000. The new tournament brings the total to 17 events.
A player entering each tournament once would pay $2,045,000 in buy-ins, according to Card Player.
The event will be the first seven-figure USD buy-in at a Triton stop since the £1,050,000 Triton Million at the 2019 London stop. Card Player reported that the London event had a $1,321,950 USD buy-in, the largest in poker history.
Bryn Kenney received $20,606,421 as runner-up in that tournament after a heads-up deal, the largest single payout in poker history, according to Card Player.
