The World Poker Tour (WPT) Cyprus event concluded with a historic final table featuring three Russian players: Aleksey Rybin, Andrey "kedrila" Nikonov, and Sergiy Rybachenko. The event took place at the Merit Crystal Cove hotel in Northern Cyprus.

The final table was particularly notable because it was the first time in WPT history that half of the six finalists were from Russia. The live broadcast was commented by Ilya Gorodetsky, with Maksim Lykov also participating.
