Several familiar faces have wasted no time entering the winner's circle, securing early victories here in North Cyprus.

Gray & Karayiğit Kick Things off

Matthew Gray has been on a heater in 2025, and his streak continued here in Cyprus. After locking up three cashes at the Chamada January Festival for $13,400, he nearly matched that in one shot by shipping the $660 NLH Welcome Event for $13,000. The tournament drew 75 entries and built a $50,000 prize pool, with Gray outlasting Said Aksoy in heads-up to push his lifetime earnings past the $300,000 mark.

Speaking of Aksoy—he came thisclose to redemption in the $825 NLH Take-Off but had to settle for another runner-up finish. The title went to Tanju Karayiğit, who bulldozed through a 253-entry field to bank $40,000. 2013 EPT Barcelona champ Tom Middleton also got in on the action, finishing third for $21,000.

A Deep Dive into the WPT Prime World Championship and the 2024 Prime Season

Souki & Özdemir Become Bounty Champs

Philippe Souki, a familiar face from his eighth-place finish in the 2022 WSOP Main Event, is back in the winner’s circle after taking down the $440 NLH Turbo Bounty K.O. for $5,550 (plus a stack of bounties). The Brit outlasted 98 runners to claim the lion’s share of the $35,280 prize pool.

Daniel Charlton, also from the UK, made his third final table of the series but had to settle for seventh place and $850. Meanwhile, Chadi Rizk, who finished runner-up for $3,350, quickly bounced back to take down the $800 PLO 5 Card event for $18,000.

Meanwhile, Anil Olgun Özdemir came out on top in the $550 NLH Bounty ITM event, pocketing $11,000. Welcome Event champion Gray made another deep run, finishing seventh, while Sachin Joshi continued the British takeover with a runner-up finish.

Big Payouts for Pascucci & Zion

Two of the biggest paydays of the early series went to Simone Pascucci and Ittai Zions. Pascucci banked $19,460 for his win in the $880 NLH Old School Event—his second Chamada title after a PLO Bounty victory last November.

Zion, on the other hand, crushed the $825 Mystery Bounty event, cashing in for a whopping $35,900 after conquering a stacked 502-entry field. This score more than tripled his Hendon Mob total, making it a breakout moment for the Israeli player.

Mikhanashvili, the $550 Monster Stack Speed victor, locked up his second cash of the series, adding $21,195 to the $10,560 he earned from a fifth-place finish in the Welcome Event. Not a bad haul in just a few days.
