Day 1a of the 2014 partypoker World Poker Tour Merit North Cyprus Classic Main Event saw 150 players compete. With 21 players opting to reenter once they busted, the full amount of entries got as much as 171. Players have the opportunity to reenter once every starting day.

It was a visit down memory lane within the Merit Crystal Cove poker site on Day 1a. Not an entire ot of Cypriotic, Greek, or Turkish players showed up, but all of the more Russians and players from the Ukraine paid the $4,300 buy-in. Familiar players like Alexander Lakhov, Dmitry Gromov, and high roller Vladimir Troyanovskiy were all a part of the starting line up, and reigning WPT North Cyprus champion Alexey Rybin joined them right after the dinner break. Rybin wouldn't make it throughout the nine one-hour levels, though, busting well before the tip of the day. He'll have another shot on Day 1b if he wants to.
Someone joining Rybin at the rail was Toby Lewis, who dissipated his 30,000-chip starting stack twice at the first of 2 starting days. Nicolas Chouity also lost all of his chips. He lost a large hand with a couple of jacks all in against six-nine, with one card to come back. The river gave his opponent two pair, and Chouity was left mumbling to himself.
Jack Salter busted his stack to Troyanovskiy in a remarkable hand. In a multi-way pot, initial raiser Troyanovskiy check-raised a 3rd player after a choice from Salter. Salter then jammed all in along with his flush draw, but Troyanovskiy wasn't willing to give up his aces. He called and blanks at the turn and river made Salter one of the most latest casualties of the day. He perhaps will try again on Day 1b, while his brotther Louis Salter did survive. The more youthful of the 2 will bring back 40,000 even to Day 2 on Sunday.
Sam Trickett busted within the last hand of the day. Our colleague who witnessed the hand was a bit of baffled, as Trickett shoved his stack in with jack-five suited, having hit a five. His opponent had a straight and wasn't laying that hand down. Whatever Trickett's motives were, he too is in a position to start yet again on Saturday at 1 p.m. local time.
Mickey Petersen left himself with just 9,800 on the end of the day. That makes the Dane some of the few players who might consider giving it another shot on Day 1b, despite surviving Day 1a.
Saturday it is time to start yet again. Another nine one-hour levels to be played, and over again two shots could be available for players to make it in the course of the day. PokerNews will again be on sight to deliver you the entire updates from the pretty Merit Crystal Cove resort for Day 1b of the 2014 partypoker World Poker Tour Merit North Cyprus Classic.
