Overview
- The World Poker Tour postponed the $1,100 WPT Prime Cyprus Championship, originally set for March 5–9 at Chamada Prestige Hotel & Spa, with plans to reschedule at a later date.
- WPT said the remainder of the Cyprus festival will proceed as planned and a separate $1,100 tournament will be added to replace the postponed championship.
- Organizers attributed the decision to the regional conflict and related safety considerations, noting the difficulty of sending largely U.S.-based staff to Cyprus.
- Robbie Strazynski canceled Cardplayer Lifestyle’s Mixed Game Festival XIII at Resorts World Las Vegas after being unable to depart Israel and choosing to remain with family.
- Strazynski cited closed Israeli skies, British Airways canceling his ticket, and El Al prioritizing repatriation over new sales, and both organizers advised travelers to monitor airlines and official updates.
