Since its inception in 2012, the Battle of Malta festival has been a go-to event for recreational live poker in Europe. Due to the current events, especially the Covid-19 pandemic, the festival is holding online for the first time. The event kicked off on November 1 and ran through to Nov. 22. 73,240 entries were made across 14 ring events making up a prize pool of $15,623,000, smashing the $11.1 million in guarantees.

The Battle of Malta Main Event was the highlight of the festival as it attracted 8,789 entrants. The $550 buy-in event had a $3 million guarantee but was smashed as entrants generated a massive $4,592,252 prize pool. All other event has been completed except the Main Event that is yet to play down to a winner.

The nine finalists were given a week to prepare as the final table was set on Sunday, November 22. The ninth-placed player is guaranteed a prize of $30,925, but all players will slug it out to be the winner of this iconic festival and go home with the massive reward of $636,478.

On Saturday, November 28, action will resume by 6:30 pm. GMT. GGPoker.Tv will air the action, as part of the Saturday Sessions hosted by Kevin Martin and Randy “nanonoko” Lew with a 30-minute delay.

WSOP bracelet winner, Joseph Cheong is part of the nine finalists to compete on Saturday but has a lot of work to do if he is to add the Battle of Malta to his title list. He has gathered a total of $1,716,343 in tournament winnings. His previous tournament-high was $187,463. If he seeks to beat his last cash figure, he will need to finish in this event in at least the fourth position.
