The 2025 Onyx Super High Roller Series Cyprus continues today at the Merit Royal Diamond Hotel Casino & Spa with the start of the $25,750 SHRS Main Event. Featuring a $5,000,000 guaranteed prize pool, the three-day tournament is expected to draw a world-class mix of high-stakes regulars, rising stars, and local standouts, all looking to add their name to the series winners list and claim one of the biggest prizes of the festival.
Players begin with 250,000 chips and will play fifteen 40-minute levels on each Day 1.

Those that are fortunate enough to make the money will also earn points toward the Onyx Player of the Series leaderboard, with the eventual winner receiving a $110,000 Triton Poker Jeju package that includes a $100,000 Main Event seat and $10,000 in travel expenses.
