Grand Event Day 1d Begins at 2 PM
The 2023 Malta Poker Festival (MPF) Autumn Edition has been booming with plenty of players battling it out in the Grand Event, the side events, and, of course, cash games at the luxurious surroundings of Portomaso Casino for a week of thrilling poker action.
The crown jewel of the festival in the €500,000 guaranteed MPF €550 Grand Event powered by the Unibet DeepStack Open (UDSO) already attracted a banner field of 548 entries during the first three opening flights including 260 entries on Thursday’s Day 1c alone. With four more opening flights, who knows how big the Grand Event will grow.
While the focus of our coverage will be on the Grand Event starting when it kicks off at 2 p.m. on Friday, we will also sprinkle in some flavor from the side events and activities away from the poker action.
The Grand Event boasts seven opening flights from October 24-29 with surviving players battling it out for two more days on October 29-30 until the latest winner is crowned.
