The curtain will fall on the Merit Poker Carmen Series today, and by the end of the night, one player will be leaving the Merit Crystal Cove Hotel and Casino with a trophy and $167,100.

The final day of the Merit Poker Cup begins at 1 p.m. local time as 20 players return to play down to a champion. Toni Kaukua leads the way with 4,695,000, while Maher Achour is less than a big blind behind with 4,685,000. Achour already made the final table of the Main Event earlier this week in North Cyprus as he tries to add to what has already been a lucrative festival for the Tunisian pro.
