Last Day of Starting Flights for 2022 Malta Poker Festival Spring €550 Grand Event
Welcome to Day 1e of 2022 Malta Poker Festival Spring €550 Grand Event, which takes place at the Portomaso Casino, Malta.
Today marks the final two starting flights of the Grand Event, with Day 1e starting at 2 p.m. CEST and Day 1f at 9 p.m. CEST.
Another big turnout is expected with both flights looking to eclipse Day 1d's 252 total entries. Yesterday's turnout also saw the €300,000 guarantee surpassed with the current prizepool at €334,560. That is expected to balloon today and could get close to the €500,000 mark.
From Day 1d, 65 players joined the already advancing 119 entries to bring the number of Day 2 players to 184.
Italy's Luigi D'Alterio bagged best from the fourth starting flight, ending the day with a stack of 538,000 while players like Simone Lombardo and Christina Read also found themselves carrying a sizeable chip stack into the next stage of the event.
Day 1e gets underway at 2 p.m. local time and players receive a starting stack of 50,000. Starting flights will close after 13 levels of action, all of which last 40-minutes. Late registration is open until the end of the break that follows Level 8 and each participant is permitted two re-entries per flight.
There's also plenty happening outside of the Grand Event to keep an eye on. Day 2 of The Hendon Mob Championship is just about to kick off and has a €15,000 first place prize. The €120 APAT Maltese Championship Day 1 gets going at 3 p.m. CEST and the much anticipated €100 Ladies First! tournament begins an hour later.
