The Battle of Malta series is coming to an end, but before that we have yet to see the €1,500,000 Main Event champion. The buy-in amount here had two levels - the first was €600 and the second was €300.
The Main Event broke all its previous records and set new ones. The first record was for the number of entries in a single flick (1,759), the second was for the total number of entries (5,799) and the last record was for the amount of the prizepool, which reached as high as €2,578,172.
Today we will get to know the new champion
