The Autumn Series has been underway at the Portomaso Casino in Malta since Friday. It includes the Mini IPS, IPS, and Malta Poker Festival. The Malta Poker Festival kicked off with the €530 + 70 MPF Grand Event (€1,000,000 GTD). After the first three starting days, 15 of the 120 entrants remain in the running. Christian Di Caprio secured the largest chip count.
The €530 + 70 MPF Grand Event began on Day 1A with 47 entries. Of those, six ultimately advanced to Day 2. Christian Di Caprio finished this starting day with a commanding lead and a stack of over 1 million chips. Day 1B was significantly less popular, with only 17 entries. As a result, only two players from this flight advanced to Day 2. Andrea Dal Bo bagged the largest stack with 630,000 chips.
Day 1C then saw the highest turnout so far, with 56 entries. Seven players will return for Day 2. Georgios Emmanouil Poulopoulos leads the day with 920,000 chips. In total, the €530 + 70 MPF Grand Event will feature ten starting days through next Sunday. Play will resume with Day 2 on Monday, November 2. Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi, the 2025 WSOP Main Event World Champion, is serving as the official host of the €530 + 70 MPF Grand Event at the Portomaso Casino.
