Let Me Take A Selfie! - win Exclusive partypoker Limited Edition Monster Headphones
You know something's special, when they call it "Exclusive Limited Edition". That's a mouthful, and not without reason. The Exclusive partypoker Limited Edition Monster Headphones produce amazing sound, and they don't look bad either.
There are several ways of winning these headphones here at the 2014 partypoker World Poker Tour Merit North Cyprus Classic. You have to either be the last partypoker qualifier standing here, or you'll have to get your phone and twitter involved.
If you're the last partypoker qualifier standing in this event, chances are you're already in the money and you'll be rich enough to buy a pair of Monster headphones yourself. But the Exclusive partypoker Limited Edition version is harder to get your hands on, so that should make it worth your while anyway.
If you didn't qualify through partypoker, there's another option to go home with the headphones. The Royal Flush Girls will walk around with the limited edition headphones tomorrow, and ask you to take a selfie with them while wearing them. Simply use the front camera to shoot a photo with one of the beautiful ladies (or both) and tweet it using the hashtag #WPTCyprus. The Royal Flush Girls will then pick the best selfie, and reward it with the exclusive headphones. And if you don't end up winning, at least you have a photo with some eye candy right?
Also starting from day 2, each day the World Poker Tour will randomly giveaway partypoker Monster headphones! Tweet a pic of your Monster stack using #WPTCyprus if you're here in the Merit, and you might just get a pair even without having to take a selfie.

Troyanovskiy And Koutoupas Eliminated
Level 5
: 150/300, 50 ante
As we approached the table, the big blind just checked to Vladimir Troyanovskiy in the cutoff on a 
-flop. The Russian High Roller made a 1,200 continuation bet, and received a call.
The turn brought the 
to the table, and the big blind checked once more. Troyanovskiy now fired 3,200, and got check raised to 7,900. Troyanovskiy made the call, with about 12,000 behind.
The 
completed the board, and the big blind tossed in three 5,000 chips to put his Russian opponent all in. Troyanovskiy double checked his cards, thought for a bit, and called.
The big blind showed 
, and Troyanovskiy mucked his hand. The dealer didn't flip 'em over, and Troyanovskiy made his exit.
On a different table, Sotirios Koutoupas was eliminated. We didn't get any details, but we're sure the EPT Deauville winner is out of luck and out of chips.
If either or both player will re enter is to be seen. They could also just give it another try tomorrow.

Out And In
Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
Vladimir Troyanovskiy has bought back in, while EPT Vilamoura winner Toby Lewis, and recent EPT Barcelona finalist Andrey Shatilov have been eliminated. Lewis ran with queens into kings, and is going to buy back in after the dinner break that starts in twenty minutes. We don't know for sure if Shatilov will be joining him, but we suspect so.
