About Triton Poker
Triton Poker was founded in 2015 by Malaysian businessmen, philanthropists and poker lovers, Richard Yong and Paul Phua. The pair felt there was a gap in the market for an exclusive tournament series for affluent business people and high-end professional poker players set in some of the most luxurious locations in the world all in the name of charity. Funds from Triton Poker events have helped raised millions of dollars for charitable organisations such as Project Pink, The Red Cross, and Raising for Effective Giving (REG).
