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.

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.

October Satellite – Episode 4 [22/10/09] - Malta Poker Events
十月 23, 2009The fourth episode of the weekly live satellite tournaments hosted by Malta Poker Events attracted 35 players on Thursday the 22nd October at the Portomaso Casino St. Julians.
Among the players present, were some of the regular Malta Poker Events fans like Stephen Spiteri, Ryan Seguna, Charles Sammut and Hubert Micallef as well as last month’s €220 winner, Georg Westin [Sweden].
The event started at 20:30Hrs where dozens of poker players took their shot at the event which gave them a chance at winning their €220 entry to the end of month Halloween Poker Tournament taking place at the Portomaso Casino, Malta, on the 1st November 2009.
The tournament progressed at a steady pace with quality poker players who were taking their time at analysing their opponents before taking any chances with uncalculated decisions. By midnight the game was down to the final table and the actions started to tighten up as leader Brian Cremona had a very strong lead, George Deguara as the short stack while there was a fairly broad distribution of chips amongst the remaining players.
Within a few of minutes after sitting down at the final table, the first player out in ninth was George Deguara, who was one of the lowest stacked players at the table. Next up was Georg Westin, who pushed blindly in a last attempt to double up as his chip stack started to shrink in comparison to the average. Brian Cremona, called Georg’s all in while holding AK and managed to dominate the Q3 held by Georg, and finished off by winning his entire stack which was around 3,700 at the time.
Stephen Spiteri, holding a reasonably healthy stack noticed that the game started to tighten up and took advantage of this by pushing and taking blinds in more than one occasion. While holding KQ, he eventually got called by Victor Mifsud, who was holding A4 diamonds which developed into a flush with a King of diamonds on the turn. The game wasn’t over yet however as to everyone’s surprise, the river card showed a King, which gave Stephen Spiteri a monster full house with King’s full of queens, as he claimed all of Victors Chips, sending Mifsud out in 7th position as the bubble.
The next determining hand was played between Charles Sammut and Mario Mannara, where Charles placed a 6,000 bet which Mario called fairly quickly. The flop showed JT9 and Sammut quickly followed up with an All-in while holding A10. Mario also paired a T on the flop and called Sammut’s bet only to be dominated by his opponents higher kicker, the Ace of Spades, as the turn and river cards didn’t help strengthen Mario’s hand.
The game came to a close by around 00:45 in a hand played between Stephen Spiteri and Ryan Seguna. Ryan pushed all in holding a pair of kings and got called by Stephen Spiteri’s pair of tens. Ryan’s hand maintained it’s strength on the flop which showed a 988 until the turn which showed a 6. The situation completely reversed itself when the river card came out as a 6 giving Stephen Spiteri a runner runner straight, and all of Seguna’s chips. Ryan went out in 5th position, winning himself a ticket for next week’s satellite tournament, leaving Brian Cremona, Charles Sammut, Ivan Farrugia, Stephen Spiteri as the winners of this episode of the October Satellite tournaments.
The next and final episode of the weekly satellites will be taking place at the Portomaso Casino, Malta on the 29th October 2009. The event is set to start at 20:30 hours and should attract around 40 – 50 players for their final chance to win their entry to the Halloween €220 tourney taking place on the 1st November 2009. Players are encouraged to dress-up for the Halloween event to complement the theme of the night as the ‘Spookiest tournament of the year’.

September Satellite – Episode 4 [24.09.09]
九月 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.
This week’s winners for the €220 Freezout on Sunday the 27th September 2009:
- Christopher Sammut
- Thomas Harvey
- Luke Lyttleton
- Hubert Micallef
- Ryan Seguna
- Matthew Pace

This week’s runners up:

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.

九月 14, 2009
The satellite tournament, with a €27+3 entry fee attracted 44 enthusiastic poker players taking their seats in the Poker room at the Portomaso Casino on the 10th September 2009. Amongst the players present were three of the Malta Chili Poker Open 2009 finalists - Massimiliano Privitera from Italy who had placed 2nd, taking home €8,670, Gordon Mifsud who placed fifth and won €2,800 and Andrew Camilleri in 8th placing and €1,128 prize.This week’s payouts included 5 seats to September’s end of month €220 tournament [27.09.09] and 3 seats for the satellite tournament taking place on 17.09.09.

At the final table, Omar Granata and Daniel Mais went out in 7th and 8th place respectively,
With the blinds now at the 2K / 4K level, The strongest of the remaining 6 players at the table were Tanya Apap and Gordon Mifsud, and on the opposite end of the scale there was Giovanni Totsolino with 700 chips.
A struggling effort by Giovanni took place when he pushed all-in with his 700 chips while holding 5 6 and got called by Tanya who held a pair of fours at the time. The flop showed 9 3 3 6 7 helping Giovanni to double up when he paired his 6 on the turn.
In the next hand, Giovanni pushed all-in yet again, with a 1400 stack, and got called by Thomas Harvey and Gordon Mifsud. Giovanni’s KJ hit a pair on the flop and trips on the river when the flop showed 10 4 J 2 J. The 6 10 held by Gordon and A 3 held by Tommy could not match Giovanni’s hand and helped propel his chip count up to 5,400.
The deciding hand played was between Giovanni Totsolino and Massimo Pappalardo, while the dealer button was at Gordon Mifsud. Massimo [SB] holding 10 9 called Giovanni’s [BB] push and he showed his A 7 in turn. Massimo’s hand paired the 9 on the flop and kept it’s strength all the way to the river, beating the hand held by Totsolino.

Malta Poker Events - Malta Chilipoker Open Satellite Update

Malta Poker Events - Malta Chilipoker Open Satellite Update
The fifth Malta Poker Events Satellite tournament attracted 30 players who all shared the same goal: To win a seat to the Malta Chilipoker Open being held at the Portomaso Casino from the 24th till the 26th April 2009.
Payouts for last night’s tournament included three seats to the €330 Malta Chilipoker Open event and three tickets to next week’s satellite.
The players were all seated by 20:30 when the tournament commenced. Various familiar faces plus a host of new ones graced the tables with their different styles and strategies. Some of who were sporting headphones, sunglasses and caps, mimicking their idols as they appear on televised events like the WSOP, WPT and other international events.
Most of the players were Maltese yet there were also some foreign players who participated in the satellite, from which players started dropping out after a few hands were dealt. The 3 table tournament was down to two tables by the beginning of the first break.
Following the intermission, the weakest players began to get blinded out and initiated a series of pushing tactics in order to double up and increase their chances of making it to the final six positions. The tactic worked for a few, yet the majority lost their chips to better stacked players who either trapped the weaker ones, or called, simply because of their relative stack size hitting pairs and trips by the turn or river.
Lawrence Galea bubbled in seventh position against Clive Tong, who paired his Ace [5 kicker] against the KQ held by Lawrence. He was followed by Hubert Micallef whose AQ didn’t hit develop into a stronger hand against Joseph Grech’s pocket 8’s. Hubert won a ticket to next week’s satellite. The next player out was Mario Magri, a 9 to 1 underdog with his Q8 against Trevor Caruana’s A8. Mario also made it into the top six and won himself a seat to next week’s satellite.
The remaining players at this stage were Trevor Caruana, Clive Tong, Joseph Grech and Joseph Camilleri. Here Trevor Caruana, who was relatively short stacked started pushing very aggressively which resulted in him quickly becoming chip leader.
Trevor did not maintain his position though, as Clive, who was the short stack a few hands before, managed to take some of Trevor blinds. In addition, Trevor also started to call several hands against other players, only to fold before the turn in most of them.
A match between Clive and Joseph Grech saw an all in from Clive who hit trips on the flop only to be called by Joe, who hit a full house with his 9,2. Luckily for Clive, the turn and river were 3 and 3 which resulted in a split pot between the two players, who also benefited from Trevor’s 3500 bet after Joe’s call. This was a deciding hand for Clive who luckily survived, giving him a slightly bigger stack than when he entered it.
The game started getting to a close as Trevor’s chip stack started deteriorating. The final hand saw Trevor push once again with his A7 only to be called by Clive. Trevor didn’t hit on the flop, or turn, and when the Ace surfaced on the river, it gave Trevor the higher pair, but it also resulted in a straight for Clive, who won the final hand of last night’s satellite.
Thanks to the great attendance last night, 6 prizes were given out to the players who made it in the top 6 positions.
Prizes were awarded as follows:
1st through 3rd - €330 Malta Chilipoker Main Event winners:
Clive Tong, Joseph Grech & Joseph Camilleri4th through 6th - Satellite tickets for next week’s tournament:
Trevor Caruana, Mario Magri & Hubert MicallefNext week’s satellite will be taking place at the Portomaso Casino on Thursday the 9th April. The event is scheduled to start at 20:30Hrs. Early registration is recommended.
