Triton Poker has added a heads-up tournament with a $1,000,000 entry fee to its Super High Roller Series North Cyprus. Organizers announced it on Friday, Nov. 13. Named The Duel Heads-Up Tournament, it is played as no-limit hold'em.

Card Player reports it is the priciest heads-up shootout of this kind to date. Opponents will be matched by a random draw, and whoever wins twice in a pairing moves on. Play takes place Nov. 25-27 at the Merit Royal Diamond Casino & Resort.

The festival already listed 16 events between Nov. 15 and Nov. 30, with buy-ins from $25,000 to $200,000. Entering each of the 17 tournaments once now adds up to $2,045,000.

It would be the first buy-in of seven figures in US dollars at a Triton stop since the Triton Million in London in 2019, which cost £1,050,000 ($1,321,950). That event paid runner-up Bryn Kenney $20,606,421 through a heads-up deal. Card Player adds that Triton has also run cash games and heads-up freezeouts costing over $1 million in recent years, including matches between Ossi Ketola and several high-stakes players.
