Welcome to the PokerListings coverage of the 2022 partypoker Championship (PPC) Malta Main Event taking place at the luxurious Portomaso Casino from March 31 to April 4.
Live poker is back in a huge way in Malta with the PPC Malta Main Event guaranteeing a whopping €500,000 for a €550 buy-in. There are still satellites running in the casino where players can potentially earn a seat for just a fraction of the cost.
Today will feature Day 1b starting at 4 p.m. Players will start with a healthy stack of 30,000 in chips with blinds increasing every 30 minutes. The tournament allows for one re-entry per opening flight during the late-registration window, which is scheduled to close today at 10:30 p.m.
The action will conclude when the field is down to just 15% with all surviving players heading to Sunday's Day 2 already in the money for at least a €1,000 min-cash.
PokerListings will be reporting the live portion of the PPC Malta Main Event from beginning to end while sprinkling in coverage from side events including the High Roller. In addition to reporting the biggest hands and bad beats, PokerListings will also share the cool ambiance that partypoker LIVE and the Portomaso are both well-known for. In addition, we will sprinkle in news about the side events and how you can get involved in some amazing promotions at partypoker.
Follow along with the action at PokerListings when cards are in the air at 4 p.m. CET.
