NEWS RELEASE: There’s a busy few weeks of poker coming up on the Mediterranean Island of Malta. The €1 million guaranteed Battle of Malta, this year staged at the Hotel InterContinental (Malta’s largest 5-star hotel), starts on Thursday. This will be the seventh edition of the €550 entry tournament and organisers are expecting to ‘smash’ their prize-pool guarantee meaning the field will eclipse 2,000 players.
Hundreds of online poker players have qualified online for this event with 32Red Casino being one of many online sites that are sending customers to the beautiful warm and sunny island for a week of fun and potential profits.
Cash Drop Casinos contributor Roy Brindley will be guest presenting the action live as part of webcast presentation being pieced together by the event’s organisers. All coverage will be cards-up with full graphics (thanks to RFID technology) with the first five days featuring a single-table and a fixed camera. The final table, however, will go into fifth gear with full commentary, five cameras and a revolving group of guest hosts to help crown the winner.
Grand Event Topped out at €500,000
A week later, at the nearby Portamaso Casino, there is another €500,000 in guaranteed prize-money for the Malta Poker Festival Grand Event. InterTops Poker have been running online qualifiers featuring $2,500 packages for their customers and their Poker Manager said: “The Malta Poker Festival is a brand new event but I am sure it will be a hit, and there is still chance for players to earn their seat at the tables for the main event. “The festival has it all; it is set in a stunning location, it is playing in a prestigious casino and it has a life-changing prize pot. So if you think you have what it takes to lift the trophy, sign-up for an InterTops Poker satellite now.”
