Win a €2,000 VIP Package for the Malta Poker Festival on Partypoker

For a tiny island, Malta certainly has a massive – and well deserved – reputation as a great place to play poker. It is, of course, an attractive destination regardless, and as much as some might erroneously believe that poker players are subterranean beings who rarely emerge into daylight, the sun, sea and nightlife that are in abundance in Malta make it an easy choice.

With this in mind, it’s fitting that partypoker LIVE will make a return to the Mediterranean hotspot on October 24-31, with the excellent Portomaso Casino playing host. A nice touch is that partypoker are teaming up with the very popular Malta Poker Festival, with the result being that poker fans can look forward to a week’s worth of tasty-looking events (see the Schedule, below).

The €550 buy-in GRAND Event, boasting a €500,000 guaranteed prize pool, is sure to bring in the numbers that will include both qualifiers and locals alike. The latter have a passion for the game that can see long lines of eager hopefuls snaking into the playing area in the run-up to kick-off.

Qualify for the Malta Poker Festival via partypoker

Of course, you can beat these queues and qualify at bargain basement prices via partypoker – and it’s well worth winning your way to the tables given the juicy €2,000 Malta Poker Festival VIP Packages up for grabs when hitting the satellites.

Here’s what you’ll receive when you get your hands on a VIP Package:

  • 5 nights’ accommodation (October 27-31) for TWO at the luxurious Hilton Hotel
  • €550 buy-in to the Grand Event 
  • All-In Friday entrance to Club Level 22
  • Casino Buffet during tournament play
  • VIP Concierge Service

That’s quite a package (what self-respecting poker fan doesn’t need a VIP Concierge Service, after all?). You can already jump into the Satellite action, and the set-up couldn’t be any more bankroll-friendly, given that it’s possible to start the quest to Malta for as little as €1.25… it’s the ultimate no-brainer.

This is how the qualifying phases work: 

  • Play €1.25 Feeder to win entry to Phase 1 
  • Play €12.50 Phase 1 to win entry to Phase Final 
  • Play €125 Phase Final to win a €2,000 MPF VIP Package [2 x GTD] 

With both Feeders and Phase 1 Satellites running daily, and Phase finals being held every Sunday between August 21 and October 23, there are plenty of opportunities to win your way to a fun-filled break of poker in the sun and, don’t forget, a shot at fame and fortune…
