The headline event of the Triton Super High Roller Series Jeju II 2026 has kicked off with a thrilling first day. Opening Day of Event #12: $100K NLH Main Event drew an impressive 160 entries, boosting the prize pool to $16,000,000. With late registration open until the start of Day 2, we’re yet to see the final numbers. A total of 73 players moved on to Day 2.
Leading the pack is Serbian professional Danilo Velasevic. Hot on his heels is Poker Hall of Famer Nick Schulman, who jumped into the Main Event late after a 2nd place finish in the $50K event, showcasing exceptional skill. Malaysia’s Lun Loon holds the third spot, while French veteran Jean-Noel Thorel sits fourth after hitting quads in a dramatic showdown with Nick Petrangelo, knocking him out of the game.
The lineup for Day 2 reads like a who’s who of poker legends. In the mix are 4-time Triton champion Alex Foxen, defending Main Event titleholder from Montenegro Danny Tang, Isaac Haxton, Patrik Antonius, Ben Tollerene, Stephen Chidwick, and the seven-time Triton title holders Matthias Eibinger and Daniel Dvoress, alongside stars like Jesse Lonis, Seth Davies, and Phil Ivey.
