Day 2 of the Malta Poker Festival Grand Event drew to a close on Sunday with 39 players left in the running. It’s been a fantastic event, attracting over 1,300 entries and subsequently crushing the €500k guarantee. The elevated prize pool of €636,480 has been divvied out to the top 143 players with the big money places still to come.
Stefan Alvetjärn leads the tournament with a hefty 5,250,000 chips, having been consistent throughout the tournament. He went through on day 1a with a just-above-average stack and has played solidly to gain his lead of just over 1M chips. Second is Humberto Galindo with 4,240,000.
We can finally announce our top 10 PokerDeals Last Longer winners! We have ten players left in the tournament after day 2 who are all guaranteed a prize. Yippee!
