There, further events in the South Korean province of Jeju-do were announced for the end of July 2018 . The first events in 2019 were also played in Jeju-do in March. In the second edition in 2019, the Pot Limit Omaha variant was played for the first time in Budva . At the beginning of August 2019 the Triton Million for Charity took place in London , which was the most expensive poker tournament to date with a buy-in of one million pounds sterling . The tournament series planned for February 2020 in Jeju-do was initially postponed indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic and canceled completely at the beginning of March 2020. The intended event in Budva in May 2020 was also canceled at the end of March 2020.

The tournaments are broadcast on the live streaming platform Twitch and commented by Lex Veldhuis and Randy Lew .
