Play is underway here on Day 1 of the Main Event. The field is starting to take shape with the likes of Isaac Haxton, Jason Koon, Adrian Mateos, and the Greenwood brothers already seated.
The action has kicked off this afternoon as the tournament staff have given the dealers the "Shuffle up and deal," announcement and cards have hit the air.
The 2017 Triton Super High Roller Series continues this afternoon at the Galaxy Macau Hotel in Taipa, Macau after crowning the HK $250,000 6-Max champion Stefan Schillhabel earlier this morning. The focus now shifts to the HK $1,000,000 Main Event kicking off at 1 PM local time.
This is the first time the Triton Super High Roller Series has entered Asia’s largest gaming destination and the attendance shows an impressive acceptance by both local and world-class players. The 6-Max event attracted 87 entries more than both the Manila and Montenegro stops combined.
A star-studded field is expected this afternoon, fitting for a venue with Galaxy in its name. The German, Canadian, and American contingents are out in full force and the likes of Tom Dwan, Dan Cates, Paul Newey, John Juanda, Lauren Roberts, and Phil Ivey may also make an appearance.
Three former champions will also be in the field as Wai Kin Yong, Koray Aldemir, and Manig Loeser were all in the field for the 6-Max. Loeser is already running good, placing third for HK $2,660,000 in the 6-Max.
