The World Poker Tour has returned to Cyprus to host another festival of poker in the Mediterranean. Cards officially got in the air yesterday with the $1,650 Take Off event, and players can look forward to a rich tournament schedule over the course of the next ten days.

The festival lasts until August 18, taking place at the Chamada Prestige Hotel & Casino and bringing a nice mix of main tournaments and satellites to the WPT Cyprus Championship, which kicks off on Wednesday, August 13.

The Championship event comes with the $3,500 buy-in and a juicy guarantee of $2,000,000, and it will likely bring in quite a crowd.
