2025 Mediterranean Poker Party

The Merit Royal Diamond Casino and Spa opens its doors to the poker-loving public in a little under six weeks, with the 2025 Mediterranean Poker Party running from May 3-13. Over $10 million is guaranteed across the festival, and you could be playing for a huge chunk of that eyewatering sum for free, thanks to a PokerNews-exclusive promotion.

GGPoker is hosting Mediterranean Poker Party satellites that award packages worth $12,500. Those satellites have four steps: $1.20, $12, $125, and $1,050. You can buy into any step your bankroll allows, with each satellite awarding a seat in the next highest step.

The $1,050 buy-in satellites are where the packages are awarded, and what amazing packages they are. Secure a $12,500 Mediterranean Poker Party package and GGPoker awards you:

  • Entry to the $5,300 Mediterranean Poker Party Main Event ($5 million Gtd)
  • Entry to the $2,200 Luxon Pay Grand Final ($2 million Gtd)
  • Entry to the $1,100 PokerOK Mystery Bounty ($1 million Gtd)
  • 11 nights' all-inclusive accommodation for two
  • Round-trip airport transfers from Ercan or Larnaca

Azamat Lamkov - the 2024 MPP Main Event champion

PokerNews has ten Step 3 $125 satellite tickets to give away to its readers, meaning ten of you will be one step away from battling it out for a $12,500 package! You need to think again if you feel nobody wins anything from a $125 satellite because Azamat Lamkov will tell you differently.

In 2024, Lamkov progressed to the Mediterranean Poker Party Main Event from a $125 buy-in satellite. A few days later, Lamkov was the last player standing from a 1,260-strong field and became the tournament's champion. His reward? A cool $1 million!

Azamat Lamkov Turns $125 into $1 million!

Early Bird Offer Saves Over $1,500

Although being organized is not usually a trait associated with poker players, being an early bird could save you a small fortune. Book and pay in full for a minimum eight-night stay at select Merit Resorts properties by March 31, 2025, and you'll enjoy huge discounts, worth up to $1,510, from the regular price. Such a saving would be almost enough to enter the $1,100 Mystery Bounty event and a satellite to the $5 million guaranteed Main Event!
