Welcome back for coverage of the second annual 2010 Full Tilt Poker Merit Cyprus Classic Main Event in stunning Cyprus. Play is expected to kick off around 2:10pm and we expect several big names to participate in the action today. Sorel Mizzi, Jennifer "Jennicide" Leigh, Karina Jett, Roy "The Oracle" Winston, and many others are expected to duke it out on the felt. Day 1a drew 109 entrants and more are expected to sign up for todays's Day 1b.

This event has a twist to it in that each buy-in costs $5,000 + $400 for 20,000 in tournament chips, but each player may rebuy or add-on anytime during the first five levels for an additional 20,000 in tournament chips. Five levels will be played today and each level will be 75 minutes long with a break coming at the end of each level.
