The World Poker Tour National Series is heading back to the island nation of Cyprus from Jan. 18-26 for the partypoker WPT National Cyprus, which will take place at Noah’s Ark Deluxe Hotel & Casino and offer €1 million in guarantees. This marks the first time the WPT will visit the luxurious property, a large holiday complex located in the Bafra Tourism Area near Famagusta Bay.
“We are pleased to establish our relationship with WPT Company thanks to our engagement with quality enhanced by the partnership with Live Events International,” said Tunc Ertan, CEO of Noah’s Ark Deluxe Hotel & Spa. “Noah’s Ark Deluxe Hotel & Spa wants to be the best venue in Cyprus for poker players, starting from the January event. Everybody is welcome to taste our quality standards.”
Preliminary events for the stop begin on Sunday, Jan. 18 and include a slew of events including a €32,000 guaranteed, €2,000 buy-in Open-Face Chinese “Pineapple” High Roller; the €100,000 guaranteed LIVE Events Inc. Main Event; and €130,000 guaranteed eight-handed High Roller.
Then, from Jan. 23-26, the stop will culminate in a €2,000 buy-in Main Event, which boasts a €300,000 guarantee. The PokerNews Live Reporting Team will be on hand to live report that event.
“Live Events International and Noah’s Ark Deluxe Hotel & Spa are ecstatic to have partnered up with the World Poker Tour to bring the highest level of poker to Cyprus,” concluded Mike Peltekci, CEO of LIVE Events Inc. “Noah’s Ark is simply the best venue to host poker tournaments on the island.
