I would like to make the point (not for the first time) once again Pokernews appears to be completely blanking the Triton events. I could care less if  politics are involved or it's just pettiness but I think it is a disservice to poker fans everywhere.

Triton has invested a huge amount to stage the high roller events. The production quality is superb and the apps which allow anyone to follow chip leaders/counts etc. are the best in the business. They have also hired great commentators - at the Vietnam event they have flown in Ali Nejad, Henry Kilbane and Randy Lew. They have also used Nick Shulman, Jeff Gross and Brian Rast at prior events. That's a world class group of commentators.

These events now attract the deepest fields of high rollers because the atmosphere is convivial as well as competitive with a wider range of events and tourneys than anyone else is presenting. To be frank, I do not think Triton cares if they receive coverage from the poker press or not. They have deep pockets, could afford to set up the series and I believe the events are now self-sustaining.

But, I am simply perplexed that Pokernews has evidently taken the decision to marginalize the events for whatever reason at the expense of poker fans. That said I take heart in the fact that the Triton stream viewership continues to grow regardless. The true perspective - the average for the first 4 streams has been [B]143,000 views [/B]which means that this series, like others, will end up receiving a few million views.

Good for Triton!
