Victor Fryda Leads Pack of 31 Survivors from Day 1a of 2022 Malta Poker Festival Spring Grand Event (full)
At the wonderful Portomaso Casino the first of six starting flights of the Malta Poker Festival Spring €550 Grand Event has come to close with just 31 players remaining out of a total of 118 entries.
Victor Fryda finished Day 1a with the chip lead, with Bart Kuiper and Jordan Dumas rounding out the top three chip stacks.
Other notable players who made it through to Day 2, which kicks off on Sunday, May 1, include Tomasz Brzezinski, Philip Huxley and Fabio Berti.
However, players such as Ahamed Mohamed, Maureen Bloechlinger and Jacqueline Cachia all fell at the first hurdle.
Germany's Bora Uludag was another player who advanced and was fortunate to turn a Royal Flush
