How does the $200K invitational work?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Those tuning in to check out the Coin Rivet on Triton YouTube channel<\/strong><\/a> will find a different kind of tournament, teaming rec players with pros. On Day 1, poker pros and recreational players are separated before the fields are merged on Day 2.<\/span><\/p>\n

While pairs aren’t playing as teams, each pro needs a rec player to also take part. The event is capped at 32 recreational<\/strong> and 32 professionals<\/strong>. Triton officials have already released some names who will join the action.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jorstad will partner with Rob Yong and Paul Phua is linked with Phil Ivey. Las Vegas casino executive and Poker Hall of Famer Bobby Baldwin<\/strong> will also join the action. The 1978 WSOP Main Event winner will partner with Ben Lamb<\/strong>, 2011 WSOP Player of the Year.<\/span><\/p>\n
