PokerListings to Live Report the Malta Poker Festival (Oct. 24-31)

The Malta Poker Festival (MPF) is ready to rumble with an action-packed schedule from Oct. 24-31 including the €500,000 guaranteed €550 MPF Grand Event

Earlier this year in May, the MPF made its triumphant return to the Portomaso Casino after it was forced to take a break due to the COVID pandemic affecting festivals around the globe. The event was highly successful with 1,014 entries coming out in full force for the Main Event with Daniel Lakerveld winning the title for a cool €71,000. This author had the pleasure of playing in that event. Although he came up dry during the tournaments, he held his own during the mixed cash games running all week long and had a blast meeting new and old friends alike thanks to the friendly atmosphere provided by Montealegre and the luxurious Portomaso Casino.

Expectations are even bigger this time around for the Autumn Edition of the MPF with MPF Founder Ivonne Montealegre spending countless days and nights planning. Another reason a banner turnout is expected is that players had more time to plan and the MPF taking place at its usual time of year.

For the first time, PokerListings will be on hand to report from the beginning until the end the MPF Grand Event. Expect some flavor from the side events as well throughout the coverage along with podcasts and interviews after the event.

€500K GTD Grand Event

As we already mentioned, the €550 buy-in MPF Grand Event boasts a huge €500,000 guaranteed prize pool providing amazing value for the players from Oct. 25-31.

The event features five opening flights on Oct. 25-29 giving players plenty of chances to build a monster stack for Saturday’s Day 2. The event isn’t a money grab and is for the players. One example of this is that the Grand Event doesn’t allow late registration on Day 2 like many events in Europe have for a last-minute dash to meet a guarantee. Another example is that the Grand Event doesn’t allow unlimited re-entries as instead players can re-enter twice per opening flight.

The first four opening flights will be fully covered by PokerListings with 40-minute blind levels while the final opening flight will be a turbo-charged affair with 20-minute blind levels.

The structure only becomes better from there with Day 2 featuring longer 50-minute blind levels and Sunday’s final day boasting the deepest structure of one-hour blind levels.

Those looking to get in for a fraction of the €550 buy-in will have plenty of chances with tons of €60 satellites littered throughout the schedule.

Something for Everyone

While most players will be coming out to Malta to play in the Grand Event, there are plenty of other tournaments on the schedule. No-limit Texas Hold’em players will be able to enjoy tons of events and satellites including a trio of two-day events in The Hendon Mob €225 Championship (Oct. 28-29), the APAT €120 Maltese Championship (Oct. 29-30), and the €1,100 CasinoCoin CUP (Oct. 30-31).

Bounty Hunter Days will power two events including the €230 Bounty Hunter Days Malta (Oct. 26) and the €120 Bounty Hunter Days Progressive Closer (Oct. 31).

Meanwhile, Katie Swift will be on hand to host the €100 Ladies First! on Oct. 29, while the event’s organizer Ivonne Montealegre will host a special event on Halloween for €150 dubbed the Win the Spooky Cross Hosted by Ivonne Montealegre.

Those looking for mixed games are in luck. Not only is there the €200 PLO Knight Crusaders on Oct. 30 but also some more fun on the schedule thanks to CardPlayer Lifestyle and Mixed Game Festival founder Robbie Strazynski coming to town from his home in Israel to host the €230 HORSE Powered by Cardplayer Lifestyle on Oct. 25. This author already entered the event using Luxon Pay as it takes place before the coverage begins. We will be sure to let you know about this author’s personal experiences during Day 1a of the Main Event. But thanks to using Luxon Pay, this author has protected bubble insurance in case he just misses the money.

In addition, there will be mixed cash games running nightly on the casino floor along with the usual array of no-limit hold’em and pot-limit Omaha action.
