Triton Poker Series: Controversy and Drama in the Bahamas


The Triton Poker Series, known for its high-stakes tournaments, recently concluded in the Bahamas with a mix of professional players and VIPs. The tournament featured a unique format where half of the field consisted of businessmen or wealthy amateurs who paired with strong professionals.

One of the most controversial figures in the tournament was Jared Bleznik. Daniel Negreanu, in his vlog, jokingly questioned Bleznik's VIP status, highlighting the ongoing debate about who qualifies as a VIP in these tournaments. Bleznik, despite being a professional, was categorized as a VIP for this event, which sparked discussions among poker enthusiasts.

David Einhorn, a notable figure in the tournament, had to make a re-entry after being eliminated in the first hand. Einhorn's elimination was particularly notable because he was eliminated by Jared Bleznik, who had a strong hand and managed to take down Einhorn's stack. Einhorn, however, managed to make a comeback and advance to the money rounds.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
