Merit Poker

Merit Poker continues to bring great poker action to North Cyprus, and their latest Retro Series is just right around the corner, playing out from August 6-17.

The Retro Series is headlined by a huge $3 million guaranteed Main Event and features an action-packed schedule that the players will surely enjoy.

Event Highlights

Of course, everyone will be watching the Main Event, but there are plenty of other tournaments for players to sink their teeth into.

The series is opened by the NL Warm Up which promises to pay out no less than $1,000,000. The Warm Up kicks off on August 7 at midday and comes with a $2,200 buy-in. Even better, there are plenty of opportunities to get in on the cheap as they can satellite their way in for a fraction of the price.

The Warm Up has four starting flights before the fields merge for Day 2 on August 9. Day 3 will take place the following day and then the champion will then be crowned on August 11.

Another one to look out for is the $2,200 Mystery Bounty. Mystery Bounty tournaments are all the rage at the moment, and this one is not to be missed with its $250,000 guarantee. While the top bounty prize is yet to be revealed, you can expect it to be a good one.

Retro Series Main Event

As mentioned, the Retro Series Main Event has a very tempting $3 million guaranteed prize pool, but there are high expectations that the figure will be obliterated.

The Main Event buy-in stands at $3,300, and like The Warm Up, there are plenty of satellites scheduled for players to participate in. Plenty of Main Event tickets will be awarded through this route.

The Main Event starts on August 12 and has four Day 1 flights, with Day 1d running as a turbo. The Day 1 survivors will then return for Day 2 on August 15 before Day 3 and Day 4 play out over August 16-17.
