Last opportunity for online poker players to qualify for €1,500 buy-in EMOP Malta grand final
This week sees the final online poker satellites at Pinnacle Poker to the last leg of the European Masters of Poker tour in Vittoriosa, Malta from September 23 to 26. Up to 500 players will compete in the €1,500 + €150 buy-in main event which will see players start with 15,000 in chips compared to the regular 10,000.
Players can qualify for the Maltese grand final across the Entraction network for as little as €2 or 200 VIP-points.
There are four main satellites remaining:
Monday 19:40 CET with €100 buy-in and 2 packages guaranteed worth €2,500 each.
Wednesday 19:40 CET with a €100 buy-in and 2 packages guaranteed.
Thursday 19:40 CET with a €200 buy-in and 4 packages guaranteed.
Sunday 19:40 CET with a €200 buy-in and 4 packages guaranteed.
Daily super satellites to all main qualifiers are available.
Players can also buy in directly through their Entraction account to the live event in Malta for €1,650.
An additional benefit of the European Masters of Poker is the leader board competition where players can win additional prizes beside the regular prize pool. Five percent is taken from each tournaments prize pool and is placed in the leader board prize pool. The top 15 overall players will receive cash prizes after the five tournaments are completed.
The estimated first prize is €25,000. In addition to this, the winner will receive a watch worth €10,000 if the player has earned 25,000 VIP-points from January 1st 2009 until the start of the last tournament.
Anton Wigg from Sweden topped the field of 399 players at the European Masters of Poker in Casino Barcelona last month taking down €55,502 for his victory. The EMOP Barcelona event attracted the largest field of the tour so far.
