Sam El Sayed is Leading at the WPT Merit Cyprus Classic
Today we’ll begin our review with the first event of Season XI of the World Poker Tour, which is taking place at Cyprus these days. 329 players have paid the $ 4,000 buy-in to participate in this prestigious event, but only 53 of them were able to reach Day 3 of the WPT Merit Cyprus Classic. 36 players are getting paid a minimum of $8,070 with $287,784 for first place. Sam El Sayed is the current chip leader with 375,500 ahead of former bracelet winners Erik Cajelais (371,500) and Robert Mizrachi (365,000) as well as Chino Rheem (361,000).

Some of the other notable players who made it through the gauntlet today are Marvin Rettenmaier, Martin Finger, Oleksii Kovalchuk, Dominik Nitsche and Andreas Krause. Not as lucky were Tuan Le, Nicolas Chouity, Toni Judet, Kelly Kim and Lukas Berglund who were all eliminated in the five levels of play on Day 2.
The bubble is looming at WPT Cyprus as the last 36 players will make the money. Stay tuned for all the latest updates!
