“As we continue our globetrotting mission to spread poker around the world, we’re proud to introduce Cyprus to the 2024 schedule,” WPT CEO Adam Pliska said in a press release. “The great Chamada Prestige will host the first-ever WPT venture in the beautiful island country.”
The WPT Prime Cyprus Championship will take place Aug. 22-26, while the rest of the series will feature various side events.
