18:00The opening pot is settled here, before play moves on to the next hand.

"And the cards are in the air," says commentator Brian Paris, as WPT Prime Cyprus gets down to the business of Day 2. Deniz Gumuskesen begins the televised coverage with the biggest stack at the featured table, but Peter Majoros gets the first opportunity to build his.

The broadcast drew roughly 180,000 views in its first day, far beyond the World Poker Tour channel's usual opening for longer videos. This is extended tournament coverage rather than a single dramatic hand, with the action coming from Chamada Prestige Hotel & Spa in Cyprus.

After a countdown and cinematic introduction, Paris welcomes viewers to the tournament floor. On-screen graphics reveal the players' private cards, chip stacks and chances of winning, letting viewers follow decisions that the opponents must make without that information.

The opening hand puts Majoros's ace-queen against Furkan Yavuz's suited ace-four. Majoros checks and then raises a bet, giving the broadcast an early decision to follow rather than a round of introductions alone.

The championship's final-table broadcast is drawing attention too, reaching roughly 94,000 views in its opening twelve hours. That stream carries the next stage of the Cyprus event, with the title advertising a six-figure first prize.
