€1,100 Main Event
Dia 1cd Iniciado
The PokerStars Summer Festival Malta, running at the InterContinental Hotel, continues today with Day 1c/d of the Main Event starting at 12 p.m. local time.
Yesterday's flights attracted total a total of 313 entries and, of those, 95 have already made it through to Day 2. Tiago Luis finished the day as the chip leader with 340,000 chips and was one of only two players to finish with over 300,000, the other being Maher Achour with 335,000.
Players in Day 1c will start with 30,000 chips and the blind levels open at 100/100 with a 100 big blind ante. Blinds will increase every 60-minutes with a break every two levels.
Day 1d starts later on at 9 p.m. local time and will have faster blinds of 30 minutes.
Players can reenter once per flight and late registration will remain open for the first couple of levels of Day 2, meaning there's still loads of opportunities to get involved.
So far, with half of the starting flights concluded, the prize pool has reached €300,480. Today is expected to be busier as more players from across the Continent take their shot at the Main Event.
Away from the tables, players can explore the stunning Mediterranean island, take a jet ski ride, or put their feet up and relax in the Player's Lounge.
Stay tuned, as PokerNews will be bringing live updates of Day 1c straight from the tournament floor and following the Main Event down to a winner.

The instructions have been given. Dealers are shuffling up. The PokerStars Summer Festival Malta Main Event flight day 1c is now underway.
Action has started slowly in the Main Event. Players are still taking their seats around the room and just one player has busted so far in the first level of play. Most hands have resulted in only a slight movement of chips.
In one such hand, the cutoff opened the action with a raise to 300 before Brandon Mifsud reraised to 1,000 from the button. Didier Grubisic called in the small blind, as did the original raiser.
The flop came 5♠4♣J♦ and play checked to Mifsud, who continued for 1,500. Grubisic made the call and the original raiser folded.
The turn came the 7♣ and both players checked it back. The river was the 2♦ and Didier led out with a large bet of 6,500. Misfud made the fold.
