Welcome to opening day coverage of the Mediterranean Poker Party held at the beautiful Merit Royal Diamond Hotel and Casino in Northern Cyprus.
Day 1a of the $1,100 Luxon Pay Mystery Bounty begins at noon local time today, kicking off proceedings, which boasts a guarantee of $1,000,000.
Players competing in the Mystery Bounty will start with 200,000 chips and play will continue until just 15% of the field remains. The players are expected to play roughly 18 levels lasting 30 minutes each before bagging their chips to take to Day 2, which will be played on Saturday, May 4.
However, for the players who were unfortunate to be eliminated, they will be allotted one reentry in the same flight. Failing that, they can play any of the four remaining flights with one reentry allowed.

Level 1
: Blinds 1,000/1,000, 1,000 ante
Two players saw the J♣8♣5♠ flop, and Seyedali Hosseinirami checked to Duru Corekcioglu who fired a bet of 6,000 into the pot of 11,500. Hosseinirami made the call.
When the 4♠ fell on the turn, Hosseinirami check-called another bet of 8,000.
The 7♣ completed the board on the river, and both players tapped the table. Hosseinirami rolled his A♣6♣ over, for the nut-flush, and Corekcioglu mucked his hand.

Level 3
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
A player in early position opened to 5,000, and the cutoff raised to 11,000 before the button made the call. Bernard Larabi was in the big blind and put in another raise to 42,000. The original raiser and the cutoff quickly folded before the button announced all-in for roughly 170,000. Larabi snap-called and both hands were tabled.
Button: 8♦8♣ 
Bernard Larabi: K♠K♦
Larabi was in great shape with his pocket kings, and the board ran out 7♦7♣6♦10♣4♠, sending the button to the rail.
