Rabbit Hunting 首次登陆 Merit Poker
所有参加 $5,500 Main Event 或 $7,500 High Roller 的玩家，都将在对应赛事中获得一张 Rabbit Hunting Card。每当一手牌结束后，参与该手牌的玩家可以使用这张卡，翻开剩余的公共牌，查看如果牌面完整发出，最终结果会是什么。
这张卡在整场赛事中只能使用一次，因此玩家必须谨慎选择何时满足自己的好奇心。
此外，Merit Poker 还推出了提前入座奖励。凡是在赛事开始前已经坐到牌桌上的玩家，都将获得 10% 的起始记分牌加成。该优惠适用于除卫星赛之外的所有赛事；若为多起始轮赛事，则仅适用于 Day 1A。
$3 Million Main Event 成为赛程焦点
本届系列赛将以 $3,500 Merit Poker Cup 揭幕，这项赛事保底奖池为 $1,000,000，赛程为 7月28日至7月31日。
随后进行的是 $7,500 High Roller，这同样是一场保底 $1,000,000 的赛事。接着，全系列最受关注的核心赛事——$5,500 Main Event——将登场，其保底奖池高达 $3,000,000。
Main Event 设有 4 个起始轮，从 8月2日 开始，冠军将在 8月6日 产生。
完整赛程还包括保底 $300,000 的 $3,300 Mystery Bounty、$3,300 Big Bounty、$3,300 Pot-Limit Omaha 5-Card Knockout、$330 Women’s Championship，以及贯穿整个系列赛的大量卫星赛和边赛。
为长期参赛玩家提供套餐
计划在北塞浦路斯打完整个系列赛的玩家，还可以选择两种赛事套餐。
$40,000 套餐包含在五星级 Merit Royal Diamond Hotel Casino & Spa 住宿 11 晚、从 Larnaca 或 Ercan 机场的接送服务、$3,500 Merit Poker Cup 参赛资格，以及在整个系列赛期间用完整个 $40,000 赛事额度后可享受免费住宿。
此外还有 $25,000 套餐，同样包含赛事资金灵活使用和接送服务，同时酒店住宿可享受 50% 折扣，使 11 晚住宿费用从 $3,850 降至 $1,925。
在这两种套餐中，剩余的套餐余额都可以用于系列赛中的任何赛事或 re-entry。
紧接着转入 Onyx High Roller Series
对于在 NOIR 结束后还不想回家的玩家来说，好消息是他们无需离开。
Onyx High Roller Series 将在同一场地无缝接档举行，Merit Royal Diamond Hotel Casino & Spa 将再次迎来扑克界众多知名选手，继续上演一场包含多个七位数保底奖池与高额买入对决的扑克节。
