The $102,000 Onyx SHRS NLH Invitational Kicks Off at 2 p.m.
The $102,000 Onyx SHRS NLH Invitational gets underway at a new start time of 2 p.m. today as part of the 2025 Onyx Super High Roller Series presented by Onyx Club at the Merit Royal Diamond Hotel Casino & Spa in Northern Cyprus. This exclusive event will bring together an elite mix of invited guests and top poker pros for three days of high-stakes action, ending on Monday, August 18, when one player will lift the trophy.
Unlike other tournaments on the schedule, today’s NLH Invitational and the PLO Invitational later in the series each have their own unique set of rules.
All players must be in their seats from the start, with chips in play from Hand 1. For the first 12 levels, invited players will compete only against other invited players, while pros will be seated with other pros. After Level 12, a redraw will take place to equally combine the two groups into mixed tables. Late registration is open until the start of Level 10 on Day 2. Reentries are allowed within 60 minutes of elimination, with those busting in Level 8 on Day 1 having the option to return before the start of Day 2.
