The “Siege of Malta” drew 393 players and lasted two days. Thirty-nine players made the money, and when they were down to six, the players made a deal.

Jeries Makhalfa pushed through all way, eventually busting Peter Freden in second place.

The only Pot-Limit Omaha Tournament at the Battle of Malta had almost 100 entries including Norwegian poker legend Thor Hansen who made it to the last two tables before he was eliminated. If there was a PLO ranking list at the BOM, it would probably be lead by Olli Konko, who made the money for the second time in a row, finishing in 13th place in 2014 and 6th this year. Last year’s winner Bror Kivello was also back to defend his title, but it wasn’t to be.Complete Payouts1 Tavris Aristotelis – €6000
