Pocket pairs deteriorate in value as they decrease in rank much more quickly in Triton Hold’em than in No Limit Hold’em.
Short-Deck is the answer. Also known as, Triton Hold’em, Short-Deck has its roots in Asia, where successful businessmen, and poker lovers, Paul Phua and Richard Yong, experimented by removing a few cards from the standard 52-card deck, increasing the likelihood of strong pre-flop hands. Out went the 2s. Triton Poker is pleased to introduce our line of ultra high quality portable poker mats. The ultimate way to play poker on any surface and on the go! Description: Turn any ordinary table or flat surface into a professional-style card game table with our signature portable poker playing mat from Triton Tables. The game is a fast, fun variation of the world-recognised Texas Hold’em format. Short Deck Hold’em originated in Asia a few years back and is gaining increased recognition in Europe. Due to some recent star-studded High Roller events, the game is attracting growing interest in the USA and is now being played in Las Vegas. Short-Deck, also known as ‘Triton Hold'em' and Six-plus hold 'em is a game played with a 36-card deck. The hand rankings are similar to standard No-Limit Hold'em with the exception that a Flush beats a Full House. The other significant change is that an ace also doubles up as a five, making a hand like ace, 6, 7, 8 and 9 a straight.

It’s difficult to single out any of the Triton Poker Super High Roller Series Jeju tournaments because they are all going to attract some of the game’s elite players. If our arm was twisted, we’d have to go with the brace of HK$1,000,000 Main Events: one being standard no-limit hold’em and the other a no-limit Short Deck affair.
Jason Koon won the HK$1,000,000 buy-in Jeju Main Event in March 2018, securing a HK$7,640,160 (US$973,306) prize after a heads-up deal with Stephen Chidwick, who banked HK$8,859,840 (US$1,128,685).
Timofey Kuznetsov triumphed in the 2019 Jeju Short Deck Main Event, topping a field of 23-entries to net HK$14,600,000 ($US1,859,970).
