The last two of the four starting flights of the $2,200 Luxon Pay Grand Final at the 2025 Mediterranean Poker Party will take place today at the luxurious Merit Royal Diamon Hotel Casino & Spa. Day 1c will commence at noon local time, while the turbo flight of Day 1d starts up at 8 p.m.
With a strong turnout of 728 entries thus far, 118 of which have already punched a ticket to Day 2, the $2,000,000 guaranteed prize pool is in sight with roughly 300 more entries needed before it is reached. All who register today will be chasing Day 1a chipleader Konstantin Voronin, who made it through with a massive stack of 3,415,000. Bracelet winner Lukas Pazma was the best on Day 1b, bagging up 3,315,000, while German regular Lars Kamphues completes the top three with 3,145,000.

Those looking to dethrone Voronin at the top of the chip counts will start today with a stack of 200,000. Fifteen levels will be played on each starting flight, with Day 1c having ten 30-minute and five 40-minute levels, and Day 1d playing a more fast-paced structure with 20-minute levels. A shot clock will be in play from the very start, amounting to 20 seconds preflop and 30 seconds postflop.
With the blinds starting at 1,000/1,000 (1,000), there is plenty of room to maneuver during the ten levels of late registration. Every player is allowed one reentry during this period, which, for Day 1c, ends around 5:40 p.m. when the blinds reach 6,000/12,000 (12,000). The live reporting will focus on Day 1c, with the full Day 1d chip counts posted at a later stage.

Catching the action on a flop of A♥2♣4♦, with around 65,000 already in the middle, Sergey Aleksandrov check-called a bet of 25,000 from the player in the hijack.
Aleksandrov then checked the 10♣ turn over to the hijack as well, who fired an additional 30,000. Undeterred, Aleksandrov put in another call before both players checked the J♦ river.
Aleksandrov tabled A♦Q♣ for top pair, taking down the sizable pot when the hijack mucked his cards.
