Malta Poker Open – Satellite Update
The €37+3 satellite leading to the Main Event of the Malta Poker Open 2009 wrapped up just two and a half hours after the start of the event. A 10 player table made up of players from Malta, Russia and UK kicked off at 8pm and when the dust settled, Clive Tong [Malta] took home the first prize and seat to the Malta Poker Open, taking place towards the end of next month.
Adrian Sciberras [Malta] claimed the second prize giving him a free entry to next week’s satellite. Being the first time to step in a live casino [Portomaso], it’s a great achievement for Adrian, who gained most of his experience playing on-line for the past 6 months. Well done!
Last night also saw several players who couldn’t make it to the satellite table, as the table filled up at a faster rate than usual. We recommend early registration to ensure that this situation doesn’t repeat itself. We may open an extra table next Thursday provided enough players turn up in time for the event, which is likely to happen as some players have already been registered last night!
Prymavera in Poker
In addition to the Malta Poker Open [Main event] satellite, on Thursday the 19th March, next week’s schedule includes a €22+2 satellite tournament for a €220 seat in the Prymavera in Poker event taking place at the Portomaso Casino.
Pryma Gaming [Italy] have a schedule of events taking place from the 17th – 22nd March at the Portomaso and are offering a seat through a satellite for our local player community. Make the best of it!
The satellite event will be taking place on Monday the 16th March and will start at 8pm. We recommend that your register early to avoid disappointment.
