Triton Poker’s group of players with more than $30 million in career tour earnings has grown from four to seven following the Montenegro and Jeju II stops. Dvoress rose to fourth place on the all-time list.

Card Player’s Sept. 18 leaderboard update put Bryn Kenney first with $51.3 million in Triton earnings, followed by Jason Koon on $40.9 million and Stephen Chidwick on $35.2 million. Dvoress now has more than $34.8 million, ahead of Mikita Badziakouski’s $32.4 million, Tang’s nearly $32.3 million and Punsri’s total just above $30 million.

The two intervening festivals offered a huge amount of money to play for. Montenegro ran from May 13-28 and awarded more than $100 million across 16 events, while Jeju II, held Sept. 4-17, paid more than $103.2 million in prize money.

Dvoress began the year with two Triton titles and has won five in 2026, bringing him to seven overall and into a three-way tie for the tour’s second-most victories. Three of those wins came in Montenegro, where Triton said he became the first player to win three titles at a single stop.

His Montenegro run included the $25,000 Golden Decade opener for $849,000, the $100,000 PLO Main Event for $2,018,000 and the closing $25,000 PLO Turbo Bounty Quattro for $367,500. He then added a seventh career title in Jeju, winning the $30,000 eight-handed no-limit hold’em event for $942,000 from 135 entries, as we covered earlier this month.

Dvoress made five cashes worth more than $1.6 million at Jeju II. His latest title was enough to move him past Badziakouski on the leaderboard.

Tang cashed 10 times across Montenegro and Jeju II, adding nearly $5.8 million to his Triton record. The largest piece was his $3.5 million victory in the 159-entry $100,000 no-limit hold’em main event in Montenegro, which secured his sixth Triton title after a 934-day wait for another win.

Punsri also made 10 cashes at the two stops and picked up more than $2.3 million. He is a six-time Triton champion, and the tour now accounts for more than three-quarters of his $39.6 million in total live tournament earnings.

Aleksejs Ponakovs is closest to joining the group next. His Triton earnings stand at about $29.9 million, leaving him roughly $135,000 short of the milestone.

PokerStars is adding a live-poker prize to its $215 WCOOP Event #73-H: Women’s World Championship. The top three finishers receive £300 seats in the Women’s Classic, a ladies-only tournament at London’s Hippodrome Casino with a £20,000 guarantee.

The seats come with no strings attached beyond qualifying through the online event. Players must register and play on Sunday to be eligible, with the tournament also awarding a WCOOP title. PokerStars describes the Women’s World Championship as one of the year’s most prestigious online ladies’ events.

As covered in August, the 25th WCOOP runs through Sept. 30 as a 350-tournament series. The Women’s World Championship promotion gives its leading finishers a route into a separate live event.

The Women’s Classic is part of Ladies Weekend, a PokerStars-sponsored initiative intended to encourage women’s participation in poker. The Hippodrome is hosting the UK leg from Oct. 16-18 and is the only British venue in a 26-location worldwide programme run by the Women’s Poker Federation.

The London weekend combines poker with educational sessions and opportunities for women players to meet. Participation in activities around the Hippodrome begins free of charge, while the Women’s Classic carries the £20,000 guaranteed prize pool.

PokerStars Ambassador Kerryjane Craige is set to host the event, alongside other ambassadors and affiliated players. The programme includes a masterclass from chess champion and author Jennifer Shahade, plus free lessons from Octopi Poker co-founder Victoria Livshitz on her high-stakes experience and using poker solvers to improve a player’s game.

The 2026 expansion follows the first WPF Ladies Weekend in 2025, when more than 1,500 participants generated 2,200 entries across nine countries, according to PokerNews. The federation said it intended to add countries and stages in 2026, as well as create a Grand Final for regional champions.

Ladies Weekend runs from Oct. 16-18, with the Women’s Classic serving as the Hippodrome’s featured tournament.

Cardplayer Lifestyle’s Mixed Game Festival XV will return to Bellagio Las Vegas from Oct. 5-9, bringing five days of low-stakes mixed cash games, two tournaments and three Bellagio Fall Classic seats. BetMGM Poker is sponsoring the festival.

The three prizes are entries to the $1,100 Bellagio Fall Classic, a $100,000-guaranteed No-Limit Hold’em event with four Day 1 flights. Each Mixed Game Festival grand-prize winner may claim one seat and choose a preferred Day 1 flight.

Cardplayer Lifestyle said the seats will be awarded randomly at different points over the festival’s first three days. They are reserved exclusively for festival players and are being provided by BetMGM Poker.

Cash games begin at noon each day, with round-the-clock action planned and limits starting as low as $4/$8 and $6/$12. The schedule also includes low-stakes dealer’s choice games and two mixed-game tournaments, both starting at noon.

The October stop follows three consecutive summer series at Bellagio and will be the festival’s first fall edition on the Center Strip. Craig Larson, Bellagio’s director of poker operations, said the non-summer timing and the festival’s atmosphere would add to the Fall Classic week of events.

The XV edition arrives five years after the Mixed Game Festival concept debuted. Cardplayer Lifestyle says the series has grown a fun-loving community of players who return for a shared celebration of many poker variants.

The organizer plans daily recaps and will name a Pokercoaching.com Player of the Day and a RunGoodGear Dealer of the Day. Both honorees will receive recognition stories and merchandise, while players staying at Bellagio can access a 25% discounted room rate through the poker room.

Mixed Game Festival XV runs Oct. 5-9 at Bellagio Las Vegas.

ACR Poker’s $66 OSS XL Main Event reaches its second and final starting flight on Sunday, Sept. 20, giving players one last route into the tournament’s $500,000 guaranteed prize pool. Satellites start at $6.60, while the direct buy-in is $66.

The flight is scheduled to play until 10% of its field remains. Players who advance from Day 1B will join the returning field for Day 2 on Sunday, Sept. 27.

As we reported after the opening flight, Day 1A drew 2,401 entries and sent 239 players forward, with Rastern001 leading the qualifiers on 11.8 million chips.

The $66 event is one of three OSS XL Main Events sharing the Sept. 20 schedule. The $2,650 Main Event begins with a $2.5 million guarantee, while the $1,050 edition carries $2 million guaranteed. Together, the three tournaments account for $5 million in guarantees.

Unlike the $66 event, the two higher-buy-in Main Events have a second starting flight on Sept. 27. Their survivors then return for Day 2 on Monday, Sept. 28, with final tables set for Sept. 29.

Sunday’s wider OSS XL card also includes the $630 buy-in OSS XL #215 High Roller, which guarantees $750,000, plus the $215 OSS XL #216 with $250,000 guaranteed. The series leaderboard continues to offer more than $60,000 in added cash and tournament tickets, including $15,000 for first place in the High division.

OSS XL runs through Sept. 29 and comprises 336 events with more than $50 million guaranteed overall.

888poker LIVE London will run for 11 days at Grosvenor Victoria Casino, known as The Vic, from Oct. 8-18. The £1,250 Main Event carries a £250,000 guarantee, while Grosvenor Casinos lists more than £650,000 in guarantees across the full festival.

Other headline tournaments include the £550 Big Shot on Oct. 13 with £30,000 guaranteed, followed by the two-day £2,000 High Roller, which carries a £100,000 guarantee. The schedule also includes a £220 MND Charity Event, Pot-Limit Omaha events and the £550 Dragon, with a £50,000 guarantee.

The Big Shot was won in 2025 by 888poker ambassador Vivian Saliba, who earned £12,135 from a 105-entry field. Nuno Duarte won last year’s High Roller for £43,510 after 115 entries created a £163,870 prize pool.

The Main Event begins at 1 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 15. Day 1B starts at noon on Friday, Oct. 16, followed by an 8 p.m. turbo Day 1C. Players receive 30,000 chips; the first two flights and Day 2 use 40-minute levels, while the turbo flight uses 20-minute levels. Levels rise to 60 minutes for the final day, and a 30-second shot clock starts on Day 2.

The 2025 Main Event comfortably cleared the same £250,000 guarantee, attracting 367 entries for a £383,500 prize pool. Gang Wang defeated Calogero Morreale heads-up to win £86,600.

Players can still pursue Main Event packages through 888poker’s online satellite path, starting from $0.01 and progressing to a $109 qualifier. Each $2,500 package includes the £1,250 Main Event buy-in, £500 for accommodation and £300 for travel; direct entry to the $109 qualifier is also available. The live schedule will additionally include £140 Main Event Cashout Satellites, while Grosvenor says it has feeder satellites from £1 that award live-event credit.

The festival concludes Sunday, Oct. 18, when the Main Event champion is due to be crowned.
