Welcome to Day 1b of the partypoker WPT National Cyprus
The second starting day of the €1,800+200 World Poker Tour National Cyprus Main Event at the Noah's Ark Deluxe Hotel & Spa in Bafra gets underway at 13:00 local time. A total of nine levels of 45 minutes each will be played and all participants receive 30,000 in chips. All 74 unique entries of Day 1a are welcome to join the action once again as the bigger of two stacks of each starting day will be carried over to Day 2 on Sunday.
A single re-entry is allowed on each day and registration as well as the re-entry period remains open until the end of the third level on Day 2, allowing for a total of five bullets if required. The number to beat for the overall chip lead is Sergey Minaev's massive 193,300 chips and Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi also bagged up a top five stack with 138,900 after one of his usual spectacular performances.
There were a total of 86 entries on Day 1a of which 41 advanced to Day 2 and the overall attendance may very well eclipse 200 entries.

The PokerNews team will bring you all key hands until the winner is crowned on Monday, bagging and tagging for today is expected to take place around 20:30 local time.
