€1,100 Main Event
Dia 1ab Iniciado
The PokerStars Summer Festival Malta has returned to the beautiful Mediterranean island for the second year, bringing more mid-stakes action to recreational and seasoned players alike from across the Continent.
Day 1a of the €1,100 Main Event, the first of four starting flights, kicks off today at 1 p.m. local time.
In return for their entry fee, players will receive starting stacks of 30,000 chips. With levels starting at 100/100 with a 100 ante, this equates to 300 big blinds. The blinds are set to increase every 60-minutes, with a break every two levels.
Day 1b also starts today at 9 p.m. local time. The second flight will run for 10 levels but with shorter, 30-minute blinds.
Players can re-enter once per starting flight and late registration is open until the end of level 12 on Day 2.
It’s too early to tell how big the field will get and what the total prize pool will look like, but last year’s champion, Zlatin Penev, walked away with the top prize of €144,630, the lion’s share of the €782,400 total prize pool.
Away from the felt, Malta is a country steeped in history, culture and entertainment. PokerStars will be offering historic tours and player’s parties to keep things lively for those who bust early or who simply want a break from the tables.
PokerNews will be following all the action on Day 1a and beyond, all the way up to the moment a new champion is crowned.

Tournament directors have made the announcements. Dealers have been instructed to shuffle up and deal. The PokerStars Summer Festival Malta is now officially underway.
Action folded around to Andrei-Petricia Dusu, who open raised from the button. The small blind called, and Ioannis Georgopoulos reraised to 1,200 from the big blind. Both other players called to see the flop.
The flop came J♠2♣A♣. Play checked to Dusu, who made it 1,200. The small blind folded and Georgopoulos reraised to 4,000, which Dusu called.
Action then slowed down as both players looked to contol the size of the pot. The turn came the 2♥ and both players checked. The river was the 3♦ and both players checked it to showdown.
Georgopoulos showed K♣Q♣ for a flop bluff. Dusu showed A♦6♥ for a pair of aces and won an early pot to chip up.

Tom Channir moved all in preflop with a short stack and was called by Fabrizio Benvenuto in the small blind. Two players flipped their cards for the all in, with Channir at risk.
Tom Channir: A♥J♦
Fabrizio Benvenuto: 9♥9♣
The board ran out 9♠2♣Q♠5♠A♣. The flop brought Benvenuto a set of nines to leave Channir drawing very thin. The ace on the river was no good and Benvenuto held up to send Channir for an early exit.
