Battle Of Malta Poker 2019 Schedule

The Battle of Malta 2019 is less than a month away. The prestigious, award-winning tournament will start on Wednesday, October 16th and run for seven days with a record number of 27 different events.

The Battle of Malta 2020 Online will be taking place between November 1st and November 22nd on Natural8-GGNetwork. Here’s the full schedule. The post Battle of Malta 2020 Online Schedule appeared first on Somuchpoker. Thousands of poker players will be descending to the island of Malta for what promises to be one of the best tournament festivals of the year in the 2019 Battle of Malta. The festival hosted by Casino Malta by Olympic Casino features 35 action-packed tournaments and cash games running around the clock from October 15-22 at the InterContinental.

The buy-in for the main event is €555 and it will come with a hefty guarantee of €1,000,000. Last year this guarantee was easily surpassed as a record number of 3.816 entries signed up for the tournament, generating a prize pool of €1,850,760.

The first Battle of Malta was held in 2012 and since then the tournament broke its own attendance record every year. From 349 entries seven years ago to almost 4,000 last year – the BoM paces from record to record. It is not unlikely that this year will see yet another mind boggling attendance number.

Last year the Frenchman Julian Stropoli won the main event and took home €168,500. But he wasn't the biggest winner last year. Due to a deal the final his fellow countryman Maxime Canevet bagged €192,000 - almost 350 times the buy-in.

This is how the number of entries for the Battle of Malta has developed over the past 7 years:
