PokerListings Championship
The poker tables at Portomaso Casino, the largest casino in beautiful Malta, have already welcomed many familiar faces during the ongoing PokerListings Championship. Among them is Colin Lovelock, who is looking to defend his title after winning the previous edition of the PokerListings Championship in Nottingham earlier this year. Lovelock walked away with a handsome payout of £5,020, an impressive return on his buy-in of just £120.
While Festival Series founder Martin 'Franke' von Zweigbergk, Christel Haller, Totti Lind, Vallo Maidla, and Oskar Ojaveer were all in attendance, they didn't make it to the bagging and tagging stage. However, some notable players did progress to the next stage of the tournament. The list of remaining players after Day 1A can be found below, and anticipation is high for what the remaining days of the championship will bring.
