Welcome to the PokerStars.com EPT Malta Poker Festival
The PokerStars.com European Poker Tour has never been afraid of change. The powers that be are constantly trying to offer players a fresh and rewarding poker experience based in wonderful locations around the continent.
Ever since Malta was announced last November there has been a huge amount of anticipation about visiting this beautiful Mediterranean island for the first time. Being the first time the EPT has stopped here though means there should be level of caution when drawing up the schedule, right? Wrong!
The 12-day festival at the Portomaso Casino will feature a staggering 68 events, the most ever put on at a live event by PokerStars. Day 1A of the €1,100 IPT Malta Main Event has already started but our live coverage will kick off with the special €25,000 buy in High Roller event.
Cards will be in the air at 1 p.m. and ten 60-minute levels (with a 75-minute dinner break after six) are scheduled, meaning a finish of past 1 a.m.
A huge live satellite took place last night where seven players won seats. They included Team PokerStars Pro Jonathan Duhamel; Argentine online star Ivan “Negriin” Luca; Fabian Quoss, Sorel Mizzi and Bryn Kenney. They’ll be plenty more players joining them, so we urge you to come back from 1 p.m. to find out.
