The Autumn Series has been underway at the Portomaso Casino in Malta since Friday. It consists of three events: the Mini IPS, the IPS, and the Malta Poker Festival (MPF). The Malta Poker Festival kicked off with the €530 + 70 MPF Grand Event (€1,000,000 GTD). After the first three starting days, Christian Di Caprio secured the largest chip count. But now, starting days 1D, 1E, and 1F have also come to an end.
Day 1D of the €530 + 70 MPF Grand Event recorded 82 entries. Ten of them qualified for Day 2. Antonio Barrera, who had won the Hendon Mob Championship at the Mini IPS, finished the day as the chip leader with 1,086,000 chips.
