Las Vegas, Nevada (September 26, 2025) - From October 9 through October 21, 2025, one of the biggest events on the WSOP tournament schedule, the WSOP Super Circuit series in Cyprus, will take place at Merit Royal Diamond Hotel.

Revamping the WSOP Circuit series model to offer higher stakes at the stunning five-star resort, WSOP Super Circuit Cyprus will set the stage for more WSOP Super Circuit series that the WSOP plans to run in 2026.

Offering 15 WSOP Circuit ring events with buy-ins ranging from $1,100 all the way up to $26,000, WSOP Super Circuit Cyprus raises the stakes for players competing for WSOP Circuit rings, and looks to draw some of poker’s best for one of the WSOP’s most anticipated events of the year.

“The Super Circuit is a fresh and exciting evolution of our WSOP Circuit brand. With higher buy-ins and bigger prize pools than a standard Circuit stop, we’re giving players an elevated World Series of Poker Circuit experience,” said WSOP Chief Operating Officer Gregory Chochon. “Hosting it at the Merit Royal Diamond in Cyprus makes it even more special, with a venue and staff that perfectly match the scale of the event.”

Just like at a standard WSOP Circuit series, every ring winner at WSOP Super Circuit Cyprus will receive free entry to the $5 million guaranteed WSOP Circuit Mystery Bounty at WSOP Paradise 2025, plus a package to fund their stay at Atlantis Paradise in the Bahamas.

The featured event of WSOP Super Circuit Cyprus, the $5,300 No-Limit Hold’em Main Event, includes a $5 million prize pool guarantee for poker players to compete for.

Scheduled to offer five Day One flights, players who make the trip to Cyprus can enter Flight A and/or Flight B of the Super Circuit Main Event on Thursday, October 16, Flight C and/or Flight D on Friday, October 17, or Flight E on Saturday, October 18.

Along with the Main Event, the WSOP Super Circuit Cyprus tournament schedule is complemented by a variety of enticing events, including $26,000 buy-in No-Limit Hold’em and Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller events, a $3,300 buy-in No-Limit Hold’em Mystery Bounty, as well as the $2,200 buy-in No-Limit Hold’em Mini Main Event.
