64 Countries Represented in the First-Ever EPT Malta Main Event
Level 10
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
There were 895 players in the first-ever EPT Malta Main Event from 64 countries. The festival has been held jointly with the Italian Poker Tour and, as Malta is only 180 km from the Italian island of Sicily, it’s no surprise that Italy accounts for the most players in the Main Event: 96 (11%), followed closely by Germany with 91 (10%). There are 75 Brits, 60 French and 42 Dutch. Five Maltese nationals also took part – although only Alan Brincat made it through to Day 2.
