Americanul Chris Ferguson s-a detasat in clasamentul POY WSOP pe 2017 dupa primele 5 evenimente din cadrul WSOP Europe, avand acum un ecart de 85 de puncte diferenta fata de principalul urmaritor, Ryan Hughes. Ferguson pierduse sefia clasamentului in chiar primul eveniment, €1,100 No-Limit Hold’em MONSTER STACK, cand fostul reprezentant al camerei de poker Full Tilt nu a reusit sa intre in bani, iar Hughes a terminat al 21-lea pentru €3,184. Ferguson a recapatat insa avantaj in urmatoarele evenimente, bifand 4 itm-uri: Event #2: €550 Pot-Limit Omaha – loc 70 si €800, Event #3: €1,100 No-Limit Hold’em Turbo Bounty Hunter – loc 36 si €1,302, Event #4: €1,675 No-Limit Hold’em 6-Handed – loc 26 si €2,771, respectiv Event #6: €2,200 Pot-Limit Omaha – loc 29 si €3,215, in vreme ce Hughes a mai reusit un singur cash, in evenimentul 4, loc 32 si €2,429.
Americanul John Racener, al 3-lea in ierarhia POY pe 2017 a scris pe Twitter: „Zeii pokerului se pare ca sunt de partea lui Ferguson, am pierdut in 2 evenimente cu asii pe bubble de itm”. Iata cum arata clasamentul, dar si evenimentele ramase de disputat:

Doua saptamani ne despart de un nou festival care se va desfasura pe pamant cipriot in incinta locatiei Merit Crystal Cove Hotel & Casino, Merit Poker urmand sa organizeze Gangsters Poker Cup, competitie cu 1 milion de dolari garantat, 11 zile de desfasurare si 25 de evenimente. Printre acestea se numara doua Main Event-uri de $2200 buy-in fiecare si $250.000 garantat, un Warm-Up cu intrare de $800 sau HighRoller-ul cu buy-in de $5000, ambele cu $125.000 fond de premiere pus la bataie de organizatori.
Precedentul festival, Merit Poker Retro 3 s-a dovedit a fi un succes major intrucat suma garantata initial de $2.000.000 a ajuns la $3.725.000, record absolut pentru Cipru, dovedind faptul ca organizatorul de turnee cipriot vine tare din spate si incearca sa concureze cu alti organizatori care activeaza in Europa. Iata asadar programul complet al competitiei, acolo unde, ca de fiecare data, vor fi si jucatori romani:
