Triton Super High Roller Series is back in Montenegro, rolling into the Maestral Resort & Casino from May 13–28, 2026, for an 18-event nosebleed festival that looks like someone took a spreadsheet of buy-ins and just said yes to every row. Most events start at $25,000, peak at $200,000, where the phrase ‘I’ll just rebuy’ costs just a bit more than a trip to McDonald’s.
Montenegro is less “destination vacation” and more “airline + hotel + casino” triathlon for the world’s priciest poker players. Elite pros, Asian high rollers, and a rotating cast of wealthy hobbyists will stack up with buy-ins that require entire net worths just to be considered pocket money. The structure sticks to Triton’s usual script: early NLH grinders, then a sharp turn into PLO and mixed‑game puzzles, capped with a few moments of pure ‘I can’t believe I watched that’ TV drama.
Star-Studded Centerpiece Events
The $200,000 NLH Triton Invitational on May 19 is the big glamour piece, bringing together a tight roster of top pros and invited players in a format that reliably delivers one or two brutal coolers, playing poker in the lap of luxury. The NLH Main Event follows as Event #10 on May 21, a $100,000 buy‑in stomper that usually turns into a battle of stack size and ego, with every player in the room pretending to be the rebuy nobody else can afford.
The $100,000 PLO Main Event on May 24 (Event #15) is where the action often gets the most technical, the most tilted, and the most replayed on every poker stream that can get hands down. Sandwiched between them is the $150,000 NLH 10th Anniversary Special on May 23 (Event #12), a marquee feature that leans into the brand’s decade‑long run after Paul Phua’s headline‑grabbing win in the first Jeju anniversary edition.
Triton Tempo returns as the time‑bank system designed to keep the pace up without turning every hand into a 15‑minute meditation session. It will also quietly decide how many players choose to fold fast just to avoid the psychological drag of a 12‑minute river deliberation.

More About Triton Montenegro
Beyond the obvious optics of people turning six‑figure buy‑ins into a first‑day footnote, Montenegro feeds directly into the Ivan Leow Player of the Year race, with Triton dangling a $200,000 bonus for the season’s top performer. That extra layer of points‑chasing and side‑deal math will quietly change how hands are played once the simultaneous tables fill up.
Then there is the venue: the Maestral Resort & Casino on the private bay near Budva looks like a resort built to be the backdrop for every poker‑influencer post from the past five years. If you cannot hack the $25,000 floor, satellites and side events still open the door for qualifiers, small‑ball pros, and a steady supply of very confused businessmen who think “high‑stakes” means “poker and a free drink.”
