Day 1b Offers Another Shot in 2025 Onyx SHRS $25,750 Main Event
The 2025 Onyx Super High Roller Series Cyprus continues today at the Merit Royal Diamond Hotel Casino & Spa with Day 1b of the $25,750 SHRS Main Event. Following yesterday’s opening flight, which drew 76 entries and saw Fahredin Mustafov bag the overall lead, another strong turnout is expected as players look to secure a place in Day 2.
Like Day 1a, players begin with 250,000 chips and will play fifteen 40-minute levels. Blinds start at 500/1,000 with a 1,000 big blind ante, and late registration remains open until the end of Level 9, with unlimited re-entries available during that time. Levels increase to 50 minutes on Day 2 and 60 minutes on the final day, ensuring deep-play poker as the field narrows toward the money.
