Triton Tempo: New Timing System Debuted in Jeju

• A base decision window comes first
• A personal time bank covers the extra thinking time
• That bank carries through the tournament and can be topped up later

The Triton Poker Series is committed to providing the best player experience in the world, and welcomes the sensible rollout of any innovation that can improve that experience. A common criticism of live poker is that it is too slow — both for players and spectators. Shot clocks and/or time banks are known to speed up the pace of play, and Triton Tempo improves on the existing model of time-bank cards to keep play moving at an agreeable pace.

• 15 seconds preflop in NLH
• 20 seconds preflop in PLO
• 25 seconds on the flop
• 30 seconds on the turn
• 30 seconds on the river

• After registration closes
• At the final table
• In adjusted amounts for turbos and satellites
• In customized ways for longer flagship events

• Reflects the fact that late entrants face fewer total decisions
• Encourages players to arrive on time, which helps the whole event run better

• Moving the clock with the action
• Keeping the active player correct
• Helping maintain a consistent pace across the table

• The player still gets the normal base decision time on each spot
• A hand only becomes dead if all available time for that decision fully expires
• If there is no bet facing the player, time expiry results in an automatic check
