Tournament director Matt Savage has just instructed his dealers to shuffle up and deal and Day 1b of WPT Merit Cyprus Classic has started.
There are currently 60 players seated six-handed across 10 tables but there is quite a large queue at the registration desk so expect that number to swell over the next couple of levels.
To anyone who is reading this blog and wants to play in this fabulous event, remember it is possible to buy-in right up to the end of Level 6.
It's deja vu time as we do it all over again with our second start day. We'll be starting at 1pm once and we're expecting all four Mizrachi brothers, Daniel Cates, former November Niner Kelly Kim and the controversial Chino Rheem to all be in action today.
They'll all be hoping to top Maxim Panyak, the Russian who finished last night as overall chip leader with 255,800. No doubt some of those who didn't make it through last night will be back for a second crack at the whip today. Remember, there is a $1 million dollar guarantee on the prize pool...
We'll be starting at 1pm in just under an hour. In the meantime, check out Lynn Gilmartin's tour of this stunning venue, the Merit Crystal Cove Hotel & Casino, as well as the surrounding areas, Kyrenia and Bellapais. Now you can see exactly what you're missing!
