Merit Poker continues to bring great poker action to Cyprus, and their latest Carmen Series is just right around the corner, playing out from March 22 to April 2.

The Carmen Series is headlined by a huge $1.5 million guaranteed Main Event and features an action-packed schedule that the players will surely enjoy.

Event Highlights

Of course, everyone will be watching the Main Event, but there are plenty of other tournaments for players to sink their teeth into.

The series is opened by the NL Warm Up which promises to pay out no less than $700,000. The Warm Up kicks off on March 22 at midday and comes with a $2,200 buy-in. Even better, there are plenty of opportunities to get in on the cheap as they can satellite their way in for a fraction of the price.

The Warm Up has three starting flights before the fields merge for Day 2 on March 24. The champion will then be crowned the following day.

Another one to look out for is the $1,100 Mystery Bounty. Mystery Bounty tournaments are all the rage at the moment, and this one is not to be missed with its $100,000 guarantee. While the top bounty prize is yet to be revealed, you can expect it to be a good one.

Carmen Series Main Event

As mentioned, the Carmen Series Main Event has a guaranteed seven-figure prize pool, but there are high expectations that the figure will be obliterated.

The Main Event buy-in stands at $3,300, and like The Warm Up, there are plenty of satellites scheduled for players to participate in. Over 50 tickets to the Main Event will be awarded through this route.

The Main Event starts on March 28 and has four Day 1 flights, with Day 1d running as a turbo. The Day 1 survivors will then return for Day 2 on March 31 before Day 3 and Day 4 play out over April 1-2.
