Play Gets Under Way

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

44 players have sat down at 1pm for the start of Day 1b but we expect many more to register as the day progresses. For some players late registration is a tactical decision, for others they may just have had a late Friday night enjoying the Cyprus nightlife.

Welcome to Day 1B of the bwin WPT Merit Cyprus Classic

We're back for the second start day here in the Merit Crystal Cove Hotel as another host of players will attempt to make it through to Day 2 and have a run at becoming the first WPT winner of Season XII. Remember that this is a re-entry tournament and we'll be expecting several of yesterday's bustouts to be back again taking another shot, including last year's winner Marvin Rettenmaier, winner of just about everything going Michael Mizrachi and everyone's favourite German Dominik Nitsche. We'll also be expecting appearances from Daniel 'Jungleman' Cates and the very awesome Kara Scott.

Once again, we'll be playing ten one hour levels, starting at 1pm local time meaning we should be finishing sometime after midnight. Given it's a Saturday, we're hoping for a bigger field today and suspect the play to be a little bit more cautious given that this is the last chance anyone has of making it through.

So tune in from one o'clock for all the latest news and updates!
