Malta Poker Open 2010 – Stage 1 satellite.

Tuesday the 7th September saw 40 players register at the 1st September ‘Stage 1 satellite’ for the Malta Poker Open 2010 – Powered by XLBet.com. The live poker tournament was hosted at the Portomaso Casino and kicked off at 8pm.

Poker players competed for the €110 + €10 super satellite tickets for the Malta Poker Open 2010 – Powered by XLBet.com. Each player was given 5,000 chips as a starting stack and made their way through the numerous 15 minute blind levels of the re-buy / add-on tournament.

Players were limited to 2 re-buys and one add-on before the break, giving them the opportunity of being more adventurous with the hands played for a chance to make a quick double up at the earlier stages of the tourney.

Throughout the tournament, Moira Cassar emerged as a clear favourite, and held a strong chip-lead all the way. At one point – late in the game – Mrs. Cassar was in possession of 1/3 of the entire chip stack making her almost unreachable to all of her opponenets.

After a gruelling 4 hours of play, the tournament came to a close when ten players were left in the game as Doreen Micallef didn’t manage to qualify in the tournament and placed as the first player out of the money for a ticket prize-pool which reached €1,200.

The following players were the final ten players who manage to qualify and win their seats in the ‘Super Satellite’ tournament taking place on the 3rd October 2010.
