Some of the world’s best poker players will flock to Merit Royal Diamond for the Onyx High Roller Series, with more than $10 million in guarantees on the line across No-Limit Hold’em and Pot-Limit Omaha events.
With the series expected to attract elite and fun player fields, Onyx has also outlined a clear set of tournament conditions ahead of time. One of those is a restriction on face coverings. When players have live cards during a hand, sunglasses, masks, scarves, and any intentional covering of the face will not be permitted.
It is one of several tournament rules confirmed ahead of a packed nine-day schedule that runs from August 7-16.

Three ways to the turn on a board of 5♥2♠A♠4♥, Pavel Shchitnikov was first to act from the big blind and decided to fire for 5,000. Paul Esau folded from early position, while Mustafa Ercan called in the cutoff.
The 5♣ completed the board, and Shchitnikov tossed out a bet of 12,800. Ercan quickly folded, relinquishing the pot to Shchitnikov.

With 21,000 already in the pot on a flop of 3♣Q♣6♣, Joris Ruijs checked from middle position, and Manig Loeser bet 4,000 from the hijack. Ruijs called.
The 2♠ turn went check-check before the 3♦ rolled off on the river. Ruijs bet 8,500, and Loeser quickly called.
Ruijs showed Q♦J♦ for top pair, but it was second best to the K♦Q♠ of Loeser, who held the same pair with a better kicker.

Alexander Lakhov raised to 1,300 from under the gun, with Nejat Erman and Hadi Khordbin calling from the next two seats. Cagdas Ersoy then three-bet to 4,300 from the cutoff, which was called by Boris Smuskevicius in the small blind, as well as Lakhov, Erman, and Khordbin.
Five players went to the A♦A♥5♥ flop, where Smuskevicius checked. Lakhov fired a small bet of 2,000, and only Ersoy and Smuskevicius called.
The K♥ turn was checked to Ersoy, and he bet 7,000. Smuskevicius quickly folded, but Lakhov took a few moments before doing the same, using his rabbit card to look at the river and showing the A♠ for trip aces.
Ersoy pulled in the pot as the dealer revealed the river would have been the Q♦.

A second barrel of 18,000 came from Voronovsky when the 7♦ hit the turn. Again, Ercan called.
Voronovsky then fired a final barrel of 16,000 on the board-pairing 6♣ river, and Ercan quickly called.
Voronovsky immediately mucked his cards, allowing Ercan to drag in the pot without having to show.
