The 2025 edition of the Merit Poker Carmen Series runs from March 11 through March 25 at the Merit Crystal Cove Hotel & Casino in Kyrenia, North Cyprus, and it promises to be bigger than ever. Merit Poker has placed a guarantee on every prize pool, including a $1.5 million guarantee on the $3,300 Main Event.

In 2024, the $3,300 Merit Poker Carmen Series Main Event boasted a $1 million guarantee. However, a bumper turnout of 664 entrants, which included 240 re-entries, resulted in a $1,832,640 prize pool. This year's Main Event comes with a chunkier $1.5 million guarantee, so expect similar, if not larger, payouts than the $338,500 Lebanon's Elie Farah reeled in for their victory in 2024.

Our coverage begins on March 13 with the $2,200 No-Limit Hold'em Warm-Up. Featuring four flights and a $1,000,000 guarantee on its prize pool, the Warm-Up is the perfect way to, well, warm-up for the rest of the series. A champion will be crowned on March 17.

The $2,200 Merit Poker Cup is the closest equivalent from last year. It drew 459 entries, and Bulgarian Simeon Spasov outlasted them all. Spasov contributed $167,100 of the $844,560 prize pool.

From March 16-18, PokerNews' industry-leading updates come from the $5,300 High Roller, a tournament with a $500,000 guarantee, up from $200,000 in 2024. Poland's Jakub Michalak is the reigning champion, having come out on top of a 112-strong crowd to bank $174,500 of the $667,000 pot.
