With the dust settling on the PGT Last Chance series, many of the game’s high rollers will be looking ahead to what’s coming up on the global big buy-in circuit.
Perfect timing, then, to review the schedules for the Onyx High Roller Series in Cyprus and the Triton Super High Roller Series in Jeju, Korea, details for which have just been announced.
Tournament buy-ins at the Onyx series, January 30 to February 12, will start from $10K with a maximum of $100K, while high-stakes cash games are also promised.
Over in Jeju, from March 14 to April 1, buy-ins will run from $20K up to $150K, taking in hold’em, PLO and short deck. The Triton ONE series, with its more affordable tournament entries, will run from March 5-15 with buy-ins from $2K to $15K.
The series will mark the 10th anniversary of the Triton circuit.
Onyx High Roller Series - Cyprus highlights
Taking place at Cyprus' Merit Royal Diamond — itself a previous venue for Triton events — the Onyx High Roller Series will feature 15 tourneys in total, six of which will be $10K events, including NLH and PLO openers with $2M in guaranteed prizepools apiece.
A $100K High Roller Championship, $50K NLH Grand Slam and $25K Main Events in both NLH and PLO will all have $5M guarantees.
That will also be the minimum prizepool in the $50K PLO Grand Slam, the field for which will be divided across two starting flights, with one open (February 8) and one reserved for invitees only (February 7). There will also be six single-day events to choose from.

Triton Jeju highlights
Jeju, Korea, has been the scene for many of Triton’s biggest tournaments in its decade-long history to date, and a slate packed with 19 big money events looks sure to continue that run.
Three short deck tournaments get the ball rolling from March 14-17, each two-day events and with buy-ins at $25K, $50K and $100K. A series of NLH tourneys then follows from March 16-27, including the $100K Main Event (March 24-26) and the $150K 10th anniversary special (March 26-27).
A $30K NLH/PLO mixed event on March 27 then bridges the gap into a series of PLO tournaments, running to the end of the festival. These include a $100K PLO Main Event and a $50K mystery bounty, ending with a $30K turbo bounty quattro.
The super high roller series will overlap slightly with the Triton ONE schedule, which opens with a three-day $3K tournament, March 5-7, through to the $15K Triton ONE High Roller from March 13-15. 20 events in total are in the calendar, including the $8K Triton ONE Main Event, from March 10-15.
