The poker scene in Cyprus has reached new heights in 2024, and the fun keeps on coming from Merit Poker.
From November 19 to December 1, the Merit Resort will once again become a haven for poker players as its Gatsby Gala Series promises to bring glitz and glamour to the poker table.
More than $4,500,000 is guaranteed across the action-packed schedule and serves as a great precursor and training ground to the stacked December poker offering.
Gatsby Gala Series Full Schedule
Event Highlights
The poker festival kicks off with the $2,200 buy-in NL Warm Up, which features four starting flights. Players from all corners of the world will take their seats and vie for a share of the $1 million guaranteed prize pool. Those looking to secure their spot at the table can also try to get into the event for a fraction of the price, as plenty of affordable satellites are pencilled in.
The Warm Up concludes on November 22, which is when the NL LUXON PAY Mystery Bounty shuffles up and deals. The $1,100 entry sees $600 go into the Mystery Bounty prize pool and wraps up two days later. Also starting the same day is the $5,300 High Roller, which looks to dish out some massive rewards with a $250,000 guarantee slapped onto the event.
Of course, the showstopper is the $3,300 Main Event, promising to pay out at least $1.5 million to those who finish in the money. Elie Farah took down the last Merit Poker Main Event, netting $338,500 for the first-place finish. There’s some series money dished out at the Merit Poker tournaments, so be sure not to miss out on the chance of some lucrative payouts.
Various bounty, Pot-Limit Omaha, and other side events will keep the schedule fresh should the cards not fall in your favour in the main attractions.
