Let's Give It Another Go!
In two hours time, the Merit Crystal Cove poker room on North Cyprus will again be flocked by poker players from all over the world. It's almost time for Day 1b of the 2014 partypoker World Poker Tour Merit North Cyprus Classic!
Yesterday a total of 171 entries were made, with a bunch of those being re entries. Players are able to re enter once, if they're unfortunate enough of busting. It's a single re entry per day, so four entries tops. One of the players that just might give it another shot today is Toby Lewis, who busted twice yesterday. He has a maximum of two more shots at glory today.
Andrey Pateychuk didn't have the need to re enter, he sky rocketed his stack to over 160,000 on his first bullet. Reigning champion Alexey Rybin wasn't so lucky, he busted late on Day 1a and will most likely try again today.
The schedule for today will match yesterdays, with again nine one-hour levels and 15-minute breaks every other level. The dinner break after level 6 will again be 60 minutes long, the excellent all inclusive buffet will again be ready around 7:45 p.m. local time.
