Good Start for Varlamov
Level 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
Dmitry Varlamov has started off the day rather well.
The player under the gun plus one made it 150 and from the big blind the Unibet Open Tróia winner bumped the action to 550. The initial raiser made the call, but he folded after Varlamov made a 750 continuation bet on 
.
So far so good for Varlamov.

Good Morning from Cyprus
PokerNews is in the beautiful Noah's Ark Resort in Cyprus to bring you coverage of the 2014 Cyprus Poker Open. The $1,500 Main Event will start at 1 p.m., so in a bout an hour cards should be flying.
The plan is to play nine 45-minute levels today. Players will be able to re-enter the entire day, and so will the players tomorrow on Day 1b. Even on Day 2, which starts Monday, players are able to re-enter for the first three levels. The last two days of this four-day event will feature 60-minute levels.
None other than accomplished tournament director Thomas Kremser will be in charge of things today, so we expect a smoothly run tournament.
PokerNews will be on sight the entire day to bring you all the updates on the biggest hands, the worst bad beats and the biggest all ins. If you have someone you would like us to keep track of, use Twitter and tweet @Webjoker to let us know who's your favorite in the field and who should keep our eyes on.
