Malta Poker Open 2010 - Powered by XLbet.com 'Stage 1' Live Satellite at the Portomaso Casino, St. Julians, Malta. A total of 53 players registered for the MPO2010 ‘Stage 1’ live satellite at the Portomaso Casino on the 21 st September 2010. The event kicked off at 8:05pm when the casino dealers started off the first shuffle of the night and dealt out the initial hand to all the eager poker players at the table. The ‘Stage 1’ satellite qualifiers cost players €10 + €1 and give them a chance at starting their journey to the Malta Poker Open 2010 main event – which is worth €1,100. At the ‘Stage 1’qualifier, players are each given 5,000 chips as their starting stack, and have the opportunity of placing two re-buys and one add-on before the break. A re-buy allows players to buy-in once again if they lose all their chips or hold less than 5,000 chips at any point before the first break, which essentially gives players a second chance just in case they get unlucky the first time round. The ‘stage 1’ tourneys are limited to 2 re-buys, so players do not take advantage of their opponents by playing recklessly just because they may afford to do so. An add-on is similar to a re-buy in the sense that if the player wants to, he may pay an additional €10, but this can only be done at the beginning of the first break and only if the player is still in the game. Players may have any amount of chips when purchasing an add-on, and it is seen as more of a top-up rather than a new ‘life’ altogether. In the ‘Stage 1’ satellites, players are given 5,000 chips for both the re-buys and the add-ons done during the game. By the beginning of the first break, some players had exited the tournament making space for an additional 3 players to join in on the action, taking up the starting count of 50, to a total of 53 players. By 10pm this number had dropped to 48 with Ryan Lanzon at the lead holding 38,000 chips at the 7 th level. At the break, we found some time to ask a few questions to the current chip leader, and one of the ‘new kids on the block’ – Ryan Lanzon, a Poker player, who recently turned 25 and is now legally permitted to play in Maltese land based casinos.

Malta Poker Open 2010 - Stage 1 satellite. Tuesday the 7th September saw 40 players register at the 1st September ‘Stage 1 satellite’ for the Malta Poker Open 2010 – Powered by XLBet.com. The live poker tournament was hosted at the Portomaso Casino and kicked off at 8pm. Poker players competed for the €110 + €10 super satellite tickets for the Malta Poker Open 2010 – Powered by XLBet.com. Each player was given 5,000 chips as a starting stack and made their way through the numerous 15 minute blind levels of the re-buy / add-on tournament. Players were limited to 2 re-buys and one add-on before the break, giving them the opportunity of being more adventurous with the hands played for a chance to make a quick double up at the earlier stages of the tourney. Throughout the tournament, Moira Cassar emerged as a clear favourite, and held a strong chip-lead all the way. At one point – late in the game – Mrs. Cassar was in possession of 1/3 of the entire chip stack making her almost unreachable to all of her opponenets. After a gruelling 4 hours of play, the tournament came to a close when ten players were left in the game as Doreen Micallef didn’t manage to qualify in the tournament and placed as the first player out of the money for a ticket prize-pool which reached €1,200 . The following players were the final ten players who manage to qualify and win their seats in the ‘ Super Satellite’ tournament taking place on the 3rd October 2010 . Moira Cassar Giovanni Tozzolino Domenico Tortomasi Patrick Anderberg Mahir Can Christina Nagy Andrea Stellato Sue Abela Lina Theuma Tommy Nielsen The next edition of the Malta Poker Open ‘Stage 1’ satellites is taking place at the Portomaso Casino on Tuesday the 14th September at the Portomaso Casino, St. Julians. The tournament will commence at 8pm sharp. Malta Poker Events

Last Sunday the 5th September, XLBet.com ran their first online qualifiers for the Malta Poker Open holiday package. Amongst the players present, were several Danish players as well as Italian ‘S4NGU1NOSOLD1’ and 2 Maltese players going by the aliases ‘AttardFrank’ and ‘Fishpeterg’ who both made it through the free-roll and the €44 Sub-Satellite which took place prior to Sunday’s ‘Online Super Satellite’ The structure offered players ten minute blinds giving players plenty of space to place some quality online poker, yet by the first break, the tournament had already lost AttardFrank, maxludo and Zeus90x. The chip leaders at that stage, would eventually be the finalists who eventually would take on each other in a heated heads-up battle for the Malta Poker Open holiday package! The heads–up between the finalists started at the end of the second break. ‘79Fjorden’ was in a good position in possession of 2/3 of the chips at the table, but one hand quickly changed the situation around, when ‘79Fjorden’ opened with AK for 1,000 on ‘matros12’s 400 big blind, who easily called with 10 7 suited. The flop came out as an ace high, and ‘79Fjorden’ decided to slow play and check after, should the turn be too be expensive. It started well as the turn was a 10, which put ‘matros12’ in a prefect position to call ‘79Fjorden´s 1,250 bet on turn. The river came out as a miraculous 7 for matros12, and gave him the confidence to push all in, with an additional 5,410 chips. ‘79Fjorden’ called, but only to see ‘matros12’ take over the chip lead. The heads up battle carried on for another seemingly endless 35 minutes, before the final hand was played out. ‘79Fjorden’ limped in for another 300 chips from small blind with J9, whilst ‘matros12’ - on the big blind - checked after with K9 of clubs. The flop came 8J5 with two clubs, and matros12 leaded out with a bet of 700, ‘79Fjorden’ raised to 2000, and ‘matros12’ called only to see the Flush arrive on turn. Once a gain, ‘matros12’ decided to lead out, this time with a bet of 2700. ‘79Fjorden’ went into the box before deciding to go all in with top pair and a Jack high flush draw, but when matros12 turned around his card he could himself drawing dead, as matros12 already had hit the flush king high. 2 hours and 35 minutes from the start of the tournament, ‘matros12’ was the first player to qualify for the holiday package on XLBet.com. ‘matros12’ will be joining us in Malta between the 29th and 31st October 2010 to participate at the Malta Poker Open 2010 – Powered by XLBet.com. €100€ went out to 79Fjorden for coming in second.

The first live super satellite for the Malta Poker Open – Powered by XLBet.com kicked off at 4:30pm on Sunday the 5 th September 2010 at the Portomaso Casino. 66 players participated in the €110+€10 freeze-out tournament each competing for a €1,100 main event seat for the Malta Poker Open. Players were handed 15,000 chips at the start of the tournament which featured 30 minute blind levels, giving them a relaxed blind structure to play through the tournament duration which was expected to last between 7 and 9 hours. 32 of the players present had gained entry to the tournament through the weekly 'Stage 1' satellites which took place throughout the month of August 2010. These stage 1 satellites featured a €10+1 entry and took place every Tuesday at the Portomaso Casino. The remaining 34 players bought into the tournament directly on the day of the event. A few hours into tournament, by 8:00pm, players had decreased to 51 in all, from a starting count of 66 originally. They were at the 6 th level with blinds at 250/500 + 50 antes and the average stack was 19.4k. Players all held relatively close chip stacks yet early indications showed Jason Deguara as a favourite, already at an early stage of the multi-table poker tourney. Some hours later, by 11pm, players were further reduced to 20 players and held an average of 49,000 chips, with Jason Deguara still in the lead – a position he held consistently throughout the duration of the tournament till that time. By the 11 th level of blinds, Jacques Balzan Demajo, took the lead of the tournament after holding a sizeable chip stack throughout, and was closely followed by Domenico Tortomasi and Jason Deguara. These 3 ‘big boys’ at the table held approximately 1/3 of the entire tournament chips amongst them. As the blinds started take their toll on some of the lower stacked players, we saw two players leave the scene after attempts to make a double up. Before his exit, Joe Mangion had a very strong starting hand, AK but was one of the short stacks at the table when he pushed all in with 8.7k. He got called by Nicolas Kostardis holding a respectable 88. Nicolas’s hand kept it’s strength up to the river and sent out Joe in 18 th place. Joe was followed by Fabien Mezanger who was also relatively low stacked, although he was playing a relatively tight game to conserve his chips. Being in an unfavourable position he made an all-in attempt at the blinds but didn’t have strong enough cards to dominate his opponent who called his bet and sent him out in 17 th place. By the time the clock struck midnight, players were at the 13 th level and the average stack had rose to 70,000chips. Blinds were at the 2.5k/5k level and 500 chips were being paid out by the players as antes. At that point, Jason Degauara was back in the lead with over 180k chips, followed by Domenico ‘Mimmo’ Tortomasi with 120k. Andrea Miceli [Italy] was the next player out, when holding AJc, he pushed pre-flop with 45,000 chips whilst on the BB. Miceli got called by Michele Petrone [also from Italy] who held AQ. A queen was the first card on the board as the dealer uncovered the flop, pairing Petrone’s Q giving him the advantage on Miceli’s hand. The turn and river cards followed up yet there were no signs of Miceli’s hand getting any stronger and Miceli was taken out in 14 th place. Roman Dours, a young French player, was relatively low stacked by the thirteenth level of blinds yet he doubled up and then again tripled up in a matter of a few hands which propelled him to inches away from the chip leader, Jason Deguara. Ramon had then achieved a far safer position giving him a better chance at reaching a ‘money finish’ in the tournament. We also saw a great comeback from Franco Bugeja, who was reduced to just 500 chips and took them up to 20,000 in a matter of a few hands, first hitting trips Q’s and then a straight. Franco was still in ‘murky waters’ with a sub average chip stack, yet he performed a noticeable feat at such a late stage of the tournament. A fairly debatable hand took place right before the break when Michele Petrone at the big blind called an All-in bet by Jacques Balzan Demajo. Jacques, who was close to the lead for a big part of the tournament was holding 54k in this particular hand, when Petrone called his bet whilst holding pocket 5’s. Jacques’s AT doubled paired on the flop which helped him take over Petrone’s seemingly loose call as 12 players were left in the game. Jacques took his stack up to 105k whilst Petrone went down to 51k from over 100k a few minutes before. Players went on their final break by 12:30am before entering the 14 th level of blinds. Almost all the players were equally stacked, with the exception of Jenny Tumino, the only remaining female player at the tables, who held approximately 21,000 chips. Once players were back from the break and back into the action, Thomas Harvey, was on the big blind which was 7,000 chips at the time. Dan Hully, who was under the gun, raised the blind to a 20,000 bet which was uncalled by the rest of the players at the table. Harvey retaliated with an all in bet of 44,000 chips whilst holding AQ. Dan Hully called Harvey’s bet with his pocket ten’s and the dealer started off uncovering the flop, which showed a 7 8 9 on the flop, a Jack on 4 th street, giving Hully a straight, and an Ace on the river, pairing Harvey’s Ace. Harvey’s pair was not strong enough against Hully’s pocket ten’s which had developed into a straight by the turn. Hully covered all of Harvey’s stack sending him out in 11 th place. Jenny Tumino was the next player out in 10 th place. After Jenny Tumino’s exit, in 10 th place, the 9 remaining players at the felt were all relatively equally stacked. The lowest stacked player at the table was Michele Petrone with 35,000 chips. All the other player were in the 100k territory. A heads up between Jacques Balzan Demajo and Daniel Bonello - almost equally stacked - resulted up with Jacques on the losing end and started his next hand with barely enough for the blinds. Jacques didn’t last much longer after this face off with Bonello. An unfortunate turnout as Jacques was one of the most consistent players throughout the tournament who maintained a strong lead for a big part of its duration. Jacques won a €110 + €10 Super satellite seat for his placing The next player out was Michele Petrone who held 9T whilst on the button. An opponent under the gun pushed all in pre-flop with AQ and all other players folded. A Queen on the flop gave Petrone’s opponent the advantage and kept his strength all the way to the river. Michele went out in 8 th position, winning himself a ticket for the next edition of the Malta Poker Open – Super satellite. The game came to a close at 1:35AM, when Federico Vitale pushed all-in holding 99. Vitale got called by Romain Dours with KQ. A 4Q8 came out on the flop giving Dours an advantage, which got further strengthened on the turn when a King came out giving him two pairs. The final blow came out on the river with another Queen which developed Dours’s hand into a monster full house with Queens full of Kings - demolishing Vitale’s frail pair. Dours held a larger stack than Vitale sending him out in 7 th place.
