The special Merit Millions event will run from April 8-13, with a buy-in of $10,400 over four starting flights. The champion will earn $1,000,000, with the rest of the prize pool distributed between players at the final table.
The Mediterranean Poker Party (MPP) returns to Merit from May 3-13, bringing with it more than $10 million in guaranteed prize pools, including a monster-sized $5,300 buy-in, $5 million guaranteed MPP Main Event.

Ran Ilani opened preflop to 1,200 before Petar Andreev shoved his final 5,000 into the middle. When it folded back to Ilani, he called to put Andreev at risk.
Petar Andreev: A?8? 
Ran Ilani: K?J?
Andreev managed to hit a full house on the 10?10?10?A?9? runout, and he doubled through Ilani. A few hands late, Andreev doubled again before he three-bet shoved over Grzegorz Kozieja's button open, which means Andreev has spun his stack up from 5,000 to roughly 35,000 so far.

Konstantin Kvashin raised from the cutoff and Giorgiy Skhulukhiya defended from the big blind.
The flop fell J?10?5? and Skhulukhiya knuckled the action over to Kvashin, who put out a continuation-bet of 2,000. Skhulukhiya flicked in the call.
The J? turn went check-check, and the 5? dropped on the river. Skhulukhiya now led out for 5,500, forcing Kvashin to fold.
Skhulukhiya finished eighth in the Warm-Up event earlier this series for $28,015 and will be looking to build up a stack during Day 1b, to have a chance of making his second major final table of the series.

In a battle of the blinds between Meir Batyrkhanov and Tobias Peters, there were already 37,000 chips in the pot, with both players staring at a 10?10?10? flop. From the small blind, Batyrkhanov fired out a bet of 15,000, which Peters called.
The 8? landed on the turn and Batyrkhanov didn't waste too much time before shoving for 38,000. Peters sat back in his chair, did some inventory, and then made the call for about a third of his stack.
Meir Batyrkhanov: K?K?
Tobias Peters: A?K?
Batyrkhanov had the goods with a full house and just had to fade a ten or an ace on the river to double through Peters. The blank 2? hit the river and Batyrkhanov earned the double-up.

After the player in the hijack raised, Ori Elul three-bet to 4,000 from the cutoff. Kadir Altinbasak four-bet the button to 8,000, which was called by the hijack player and Elul.
With 25,000 in the pot already, the three players saw the dealer fan out a flop of 10?7?10?. The action checked to Altinbasak and he bet 6,800. The hijack player check-raised to 35,300 before Elul shoved for 114,000 total. Altinbasak called for his last 75,000, and the hijack player reluctantly put in his last 25,000 chips.
Kadir Altinbasak: K?K?
Hijack Player: Q?Q?
Ori Elul: A?10?
Elul had found a dream flop, having hit trip tens, and just had to avoid a king or queen to win the pot. The J? turn and 6? river didn't help Elul's opponents and his stack increased to over 270,000.
