The €500k guaranteed Grand Event

The highlight of this Autumn’s festival is the €500,000 guaranteed Grand Event which kicks off on October 27. There’s a special buy-in price on Day 1a – just €400 for those players canny enough to arrive at the festival early. There are a further seven start flights available for a buy-in of €550, with two re-entries permitted per flight. Players get going with a generous 50,000 chip stack and 15% of the field will finish in the money at the end of each Day 1.

The €230 buy-in LuxonPay Mystery Bounty on November 1 offers incredible value with a €5k package for MPP Cyprus added to the prize pool. The €200 Halloween Special Edition tournament on October 31 will be awarding a special prize for the best costume.

Making poker fun

The Malta Poker Festival knows how to make poker fun and gets a lot of stars involved in hosting events. This Autumn that includes PokerStars Ambassador Kerryjane Craigie who will be looking after the €200 buy-in Ladies First! tournament once again. That event takes place on November 2 and is definitely NOT one to be missed. Not only does it feature a €10k guaranteed prize pool but it also includes an added package for the PokerStars Women's Winter Festival at The Hippodrome Casino in London.

EPT Dortmund champion Andreas Høivold is returning to Portomaso Casino for the first time in almost ten years to host the €300 Seniors Event on Sunday, November 3. Other stars making an appearance will include WSOPC champion Mayoman who is hosting the PLO Knights Crusader tournament and top Norwegian pro Jon Kyte headlining the HORSE Event. Eva “Chic” Jiretorn will ensure everyone has a blast in the Sviten Special on October 29. Other tourneys on the schedule include a €2,200 Super High Roller, Bounty Hunter, MPF Deepstack, Win the Button and loads of satellites.

Portomaso is a fabulous marina located in the buzzing resort of St Julian’s. It’s an ideal poker venue with tons of great places to stay, eat and drink, lots going on at night and usually superb weather.

At the last MPF in April, French player Jordan Dumas took down the €550 Grand Event for €100,900. The tournament attracted 1,460 entries creating a €504,600 prize pool.
