Triton Poker Series today announces details of an exciting "Early Bird" promotion for the upcoming Triton ONE festival in Northern Cyprus, offering up to 10 nights of free hotel accommodation for the first 50 new players to apply.
It's the kind of package you cannot afford to miss whether or not you're already packing your bags in preparation for Triton ONE's highly-anticipated debut on European soil.
Triton ONE lands at the Merit Royal Diamond Casino & Resort in Northern Cyprus from November 5-15, 2026, featuring 15 events, including the $3,000 QQPK Genesis tournament and the $8,000 Triton ONE Main Event.
The Early Bird promotion applies to players new to the Triton Poker Series who are intending to play both of those events, and who commit to $50,000 of buy-ins through Triton ONE.
In return, Triton Poker Series will reimburse up to 10 nights' accommodation costs at Merit Crystal Cove, worth up to $3,500.
Triton ONE's arrival to Northern Cyprus is already generating a significant buzz in the poker community, with huge fields expected in one of Europe's poker hotbeds. Through two previous festivals in Jeju, South Korea, Triton ONE has already established itself among the most popular mid-stakes tours in the world, bringing the superlative player experience of the Triton Poker Super High Roller Series to an even wider audience.
The Early Bird package is a further incentive for players to join the action. The Merit Hotels are all-inclusive, meaning the accommodation fee includes breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus all drinks and amenities, across the entire vast hotel property.
The accommodation offer applies to rooms booked at the newly-renovated Crystal Cove Hotel, just a short walk from the Triton tournament room. The hotel is exceptionally well-appointed, with a sumptuous restaurant, several bars and leisure facilities, and with stunning views across the Mediterranean Sea. The Early Bird accommodation offer covers stays of up to 10 nights.
The first Triton ONE Main Event, held in Jeju November 2025, attracted 1,046 entries and paid its winner, Joshua Gebissa, more than $975,000. Six months later, in March 2026, Triton ONE returned with a 1,230-entry Main Event, the winner of which, Zhao Wenjie, turned his $8,000 buy-in into $1.2 million.
The two $3,000 QQPK Genesis events each attracted around 1,200 entries each.
Further Triton ONE events planned for Northern Cyprus include a $5,000 Mystery Bounty tournament, a $15,000 High Roller and two women's only events. There are tournaments in no limit hold'em and PLO, as well as numerous qualifier tournaments to the Main Event. See full schedule below.
In short, Triton ONE is a must play event. The Early Bird package not only locks in your participation, it can take away all the stress and the cost of arranging accommodation. It leaves you free to focus on the game, and the quest for Triton glory.
