Casino Malta is the venue for the Battle of Malta series for the second time this year. In the spring edition, the €500,000 guarantee was converted into a prizepool worth €913,349, thanks to 1,814 entries. However, in the current autumn edition, the organisers have decided to push the bar higher and have set the guarantee up to €1,500,000.

The tournament had two buy-in levels. The first buy-in was €530+€70, where you received a stack of €40,000 and 40 minute levels for your entry. 15 percent of the players were allowed to advance and the chipleader received a bonus of €10,000 for advancing. The second buy-in level was €265+€35 and all of the above was halved - the starting stack, the length of the blinds, the chipleader bonus and the advancement percentages.

Record numbers

Already Flight 1G took care of a new record when it became the biggest flight in the history of this series, breaking the record set in 2019 when there were as many as 1,752 entries in a single flighty. Now the new record is 1,759 entries in one flight.

The total number of entries in the live edition of Battle of Malta is also a record, which has climbed to 5,799 entries. The prizepool here is also a record at €2,578,172. A prize of €300,800 awaits the winner.

290 players have advanced to Day 3 and all of them have already pocketed at least €2,110 here. The chipleader here is Hendrik Blokdijk from Ireland with a stack of 2,485,000. Rounding out the top 5 players is the winner of the spring version of the Battle of Malta, Vasileios Zisis, who took home €100,000 then and now has a chance to earn a much bigger payday. Zisis currently has a stack worth 1,920,000.
