The 2024 PokerStars European Poker Tour Cyprus at the Merit Royal Diamond Hotel Casino & Spa continues today with the $20,000 NL Hold'em event starting at 12:30 p.m. local time. In addition to today's tournament, the EPT Cyprus schedule includes other high buy-in events, such as three $25,000 tournaments and a $50,000 EPT Super High Roller later this week.
Last year, this event had a $25,000 buy-in and saw Austria's Alexander Tkatschew come out on top, beating a field of 59 to claim the $432,090 first-place prize. Tkatschew overcame a stacked final table that included Dimitar Danchev, PokerStars Ambassador Sam Grafton, and Artur Martirosian before defeating Teun Mulder heads-up. This year's tournament follows the same structure, just with a lower buy-in.

|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Alexander Tkatschew | Austria | $432,090 |
| 2 | Teun Mulder | Netherlands | $283,300 |

The high rollers hitting the baize today will begin with a starting stack of 100,000, battling through 30-minute levels until a champion is crowned. Players who bust can reenter as many times as they wish, with registration remaining open until the end of Level 10. Roughly 15% of the field will make it into the money.
The action kicks off with blinds set at 500/1,000 and a 1,000 big blind ante. Players will get 15-minute breaks throughout the tournament, with a 75-minute dinner break planned following Level 14.
A shot clock will be in place from the beginning of the event, with each player receiving six time-bank cards. Each card can gain an additional 30 seconds of thinking time. Players will also receive one extra time bank card at the start of every odd-numbered level.
Stay tuned as PokerNews will deliver live updates straight from the tournament floor, keeping you informed on all the action as it unfolds.
There has been a small 5-minute delay to the start of play as the players are taking their seats.

PokerStars is bringing Spin & Go's to the live arena for the first time and you don't have long to wait to see them in action because The Spin & Go Championship debuts during the upcoming European Poker Tour (EPT) Prague festival.
The Spin & Go Championship is scheduled for December 14-15 and will see 81 players lock horns in three-handed tournaments and do battle for a slice of the €100,000 prize pool. Although the Spin & Go Championship field is invite-only, you can qualify for this ground-breaking event.
The 81-strong field consists of 74 PokerStars Spin & Go qualifiers plus seven yet-to-be-announced special guests. A series of Spin & Go leaderboards will award 33 seats to PokerStars dotcom players, 24 to Southern Europe (France and Spain) qualifiers and 17 to qualifiers in Italy.
Atanas Malinov limped under the gun before Oleg Ustinovich raised to 4,500 from the cutoff. Alexander Zubov three-bet to 15,500 out of the big blind, which only Ustinovich called.
Both players checked the Q♣4♥9♦ flop to see the K♥ hit the turn. Zubov led out for 16,000 and Ustinovich called.
Zubov fired out 35,000 upon seeing the 3♣ drop on the river, and after using two time-bank cards, Ustinovich called.
Zubov flipped over A♦K♠ for a pair of kings which won the pot as Ustinovich mucked his cards.

Martirosian opted to check the A♥ river and Voronin bet 13,500. Martirosian pondered for around a minute before flicking in the call.
Voronin tabled A♠3♠ for two pair and took down the pot.

With the news that the Power Path is now a permanent addition to PokerStars, and that players can receive a $0.50 Step 1 Power Path ticket every single day as part of the new PokerStars Rewards program, there's never been a better time to have a look at how the Power Path can reward you and where it can take you.
Both live and online events have featured in the Power Path since its launch last summer, with Special Edition Gold Passes sending lucky players to the NAPT and Las Vegas Grand Prix last December.
This month, we look at the various Passes on offer, including both Gold and Silver Passes for the NAPT festival in Las Vegas, the Women's Winter Festival and the European Poker Tour stop in Prague.
