The Madrid tournament area awaits its players
Hello one and all and welcome to Madrid, Spain, for the second stop of 2022 on the Triton Super High Roller Series!
We had to wait a long time between our visit to London, in August 2019, and Cyprus, in April of this year, but the world’s most prestigious poker series is back again, only a month or so later. Once again, we’re in a new destination, and once again, we’re preparing for a pretty sensational two weeks of play.
Cyprus was a mere appetiser to the feast we have in store in Madrid.
Over the coming 13 days, we will have 13 tournaments with buy-ins ranging from €20,000 through €150,000. We have regular no limit hold’em (both 7-max and 8-max) and short deck hold’em, as well as pot-limit Omaha.
The general plan is that two tournaments play concurrently every day: the conclusion of one event alongside the start of the next one, meaning players can get over their elimination from one event by hopping straight into another one.
This is precisely how the high-stakes players like it, and so this is precisely what Triton delivers. And for the viewers, this will all be streamed live on the Triton app, YouTube and Twitch channels. Get some snacks in and prepare for some incredible coverage.
There will also, of course, be a few high-stakes cash games taking place on the television stage after the tournament action is done for the day. Look out in the usual places for those shows.
Our venue is the opulent Casino Gran Via in the heart of Madrid. It’s a stone’s throw from El Retiro Park and the Plaza Mayor, surrounded by the thrum of Spain’s capital. The building itself was built in the 1920s and proudly displays its period charm. There are pillars and atriums and chandeliers and stained glass ceilings. It’s a wonderful place to be playing poker.

The focus, of course, will be on the tables, which will also welcome a few new faces. Dozens of players have signed up in advance, many of them sampling the Triton experience for the very first time. We will follow their progress here.
Click for the full schedule. Sit back and enjoy the next two weeks. We know we will.
