Let The Luxon Pay Mediterranean Poker Party Commence!

Welcome to opening day coverage of the Luxon Pay Mediterranean Poker Party held at the beautiful Merit Royal Diamond Hotel and Casino in North Cyprus.

It will be a packed month of poker festivities with Day 1a of Event #1 $1,100 MPP Open kicking off proceedings, which boasts a guarantee of $1,000,000.

Players competing in The MPP Open will start with 50,000 chips and will have 18 levels of 40-minutes to amass a big stack to take to Day 2 which will be played on Monday, August 22nd.

If plan A does not work, players will be able to reenter once, failing that they can play any of the three remaining flights with one reentry allowed.

Cards will be in the air at noon, local time with late registration closing at 9.45 p.m. There will be a 15-minute break after every three levels, apart from the 60-minute dinner break at approximately 7 p.m. local time.

This event is an appetizer for things to come with prestigious events such as the The One Drop, The PokerNews Cup, and the MPP Main Event which will lead into the Triton Series where the best players on the planet will clash in big-stakes tournaments.

As always PokerNews will provide all of the vital updates throughout the event.
