13 часы. 25 минуты назадMalta Poker Events – Thursday Satellite - 19.11.09
The action picked up yet again on Thursday the 19th November with Malta Poker Events at the Portomaso Casino, St. Julians. 4 Seats were given out as prizes for the €220 freeze-out taking place on Sunday the 29th November. Winners of the €27+3 freezeout satellite event included previous satellite frontrunners Thomas Harvey, and Tanya Apap.The tournament structure featured a starting stack of 3,000 chips and a blind structure which increased every 18 minutes. Players were at their seats at 20:30 hrs, and were split up into two separate tournaments according to their indicated preference whilst registering at the Portomaso cash desk - A 10 player tourney in the smoking area and a 24 player multi table tournament at the smoke-free tables of the Centrally-located casino.
Players who busted out early or made it late to the event had the chance of joining in on a 3rd tournament which started at 21:00Hrs. The event was made up of 7 players, and resulted in a win for Ryan Seguna, taking home €132 and Marthese Azzopardi, who won herself €57.
A fourth tournament started at 23:00hrs which was set up as a €20+2 sit’n’go with 3,000 chips and blinds increasing every 10 minutes. The freeze-out tournament which lasted approximately two hours paid out three players who each received €110 [1st], €66 [2nd], and €44 [3rd]. for their efforts.

The next and final episode of the November satellite tournaments will be taking place on Thursday the 26th November 2009 at the Portomaso Casino, Malta. The event is set to start at 20:30Hrs and is structured as a re-buy tournament. Players will be limited to just one re-buy for the first hour and one top-up before the break, helping increase the pot size, and giving poker players a second chance if they get unlucky in the first stages of the game. The re-buy limit is in place to discourage players from resorting to ‘maniac play’ [constant all-ins] to make it into the money.
Previous editions of the monthly tournament reached an average prize-pool of around €13,000, with €4000 going out to the player who made it into the first place in the money. Last month’s tournament was led by Beatriz Bernal from Spain, in her first ever live tournament at such a buy-in.

September Satellite – Episode 4 [24.09.09]
Сентябрь 25, 2009Last night’s episode started at 20:30hrs with 67 registered players and 3 separate yet simultaneous tourneys - A multi table freeze-out satellite of 45 players in the regular poker room at the Portomaso Casino, and two more games, a re-buy satellite and a freeze-out satellite in the no smoking area of the Casino.
The event featured the highest attendance rate for our Poker events this month and players demonstrated abundant anticipation for the €220 freeze-out this Sunday, the 27th September 2009.
The hottest hand of the game was played a few hands before the game came to a close.
With blinds at the 800/1600 level, Luke Lyttleton [chipleader] called the big blind and was followed by Andrew Camilleri [Placed 8th In Malta Poker Open] who also called the big blind.
The players in the small blind and the big blind positions checked and the dealer followed by
uncovering the flop and showing Q 9 8.
Holding top pair, Luke Lyttleton bet 4k and Andrew Camilleri responded with a 12k Push. Andrew’s snowmen [88] had hit trips on the flop. The small blind and big blind both folded and a few minutes later, after much consideration, Luke called Andrew’s push. Luke uncovered his KQ whose paired Queen was up against Andrew’s Trips.
The turn card came as a Queen which gave Luke Lyttleton trips and also pushed Andrew’s hand in full house territory – This took Andrew’s probabilities to a near certain win, yet as the last card was turned, a monster hand came in the form of a queen on the river, giving Luke Lyttleton Quad Queens, sending out Andrew Camilleri in 7th position. Having experienced a relatively bad beat, Andrew still displayed great sportsmanship here, cheering Luke and wishing him the best of luck in Sunday’s €220 freeze-out tournament.
A few hands later, with the blinds at 1k/2k and antes up to 200, the game came to a close when Joseph Mangion went all in, pushing 7.2k on Luke Lyttleton. Luke called this action as he held a respectable A10 which held their strength as Joseph’s JQ didn’t strengthen on the flop which showed 8 4 7. The 2 on the turn didn’t help Joseph either and when the river card [10] came out it was his final blow which gave Luke a pair of 10’s before sending Joseph out in 6th position with €115 in cash.
Some of last night's featured winners: From left to right - Ruben Vellden, Christopher Sammut, Thomas Harvey, Luke Lyttleton.

As a warm-up for Sunday’s €220 freeze-out event, this week we are offering our players a new and exciting Knock-out tournament. Everyone loves knocking out players - In this tourney you’ll get paid for it! This event will be taking place on Saturday the 26th September at the Portomaso Casino at 19:00Hrs. The fresh tournament has a buy-in of €45 and the players will receive €15 for every player they knock-out in addition to whatever cash they win from the normal prize-pool. If interested, please register early for this event as we are limiting it to three tables.
The satellite events this month resulted in 26 seats being handed out as prizes for the end of month September freeze-out and several more players placed their registrations last night. With less than 2 days to go, spaces are being taken up at a speedy rate giving this month’s tourney a reasonably chunky prize-pool.
You may register for this weekend’s €45 Knockout and €220 Freezeout at the Portomaso Casino cash desk between 10am and 4am.
