Triton Poker Bali Event Postponed Due to Omicron Variant

The Triton Poker Super High Roller Series 2022, Bali - A Helping Hand for Charity, has been cancelled due to the prolific Omicron variant spreading around the world. Scheduled to start on February 17, the 13 days of high-octane poker action will now be postponed until later in the year.

Triton Poker announced the cancellation via their official Twitter account, expressing their disappointment but prioritizing safety. Cheng Zhen Wei, Head of Business Development at Triton Series, agreed that the current world travel situation made it a non-starter, stating that the demographic of their players includes people of all ages as well as from various parts of the world. Should lockdown occur, travel possibilities may be limited for the return home.

A total of 11 events were planned, with buy-ins ranging from $30,000 to $200,000. Andy Wong, CEO of Triton Poker Series, said: “We’ve been incredibly humbled by the interest our first 2022 event of the season has garnered, however disappointed that current circumstances impedes us from hosting and broadcasting the live Bali tournament. The health and safety of our players, partners, and team is always a priority and we look forward to returning to host these exclusive live tournaments to our audiences anytime, anywhere with the high-level poker entertainment.”
