The time has nearly arrived for the €170 PokerNews Championship to steal the spotlight at the 2025 Spring Edition of the Malta Poker Festival.

This exciting trophy event kicks off at 5 p.m. local time inside the iconic Portomaso Casino. Designed as a two-day affair, Day 1 is scheduled to wrap once the tournament reaches the money bubble. The top 15% of players will lock up a payout and return the next day at 6 p.m. to battle it out for the title. Day 2 rolls back two levels from when Day 1 ends.

The tournament features a €170 buy-in (€150 + €20), 25-minute blind levels, and a 30,000-chip starting stack. Players have up to two reentries, and late registration will remain open through the first ten levels.

If you're in and around Malta, you won't want to miss out, as the PokerNews Championship promises great value and action.

And if you needed another reason to get involved, eliminate PokerNews ambassador and Game of Gold star Lukas "RobinPoker" Robinson or another familiar face from the team, and you could walk away with a special PokerNews goodie bag.

What to Expect from the PokerNews Takeover

Whether you're grinding at the tables or soaking in the atmosphere, PokerNews will be right in the heart of the action during the MPF.

You never know what you’ll walk away with!
