Battle of Malta Takes Fight to GGPoker With $3M Main Event 

The Battle of Malta has moved online to GGPoker in 2020.

Online poker players around the world can fight it out online next month in the Battle of Malta at GGPoker. Despite some live tournaments returning, the popular series has shifted online this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Last week, GGPoker and Battle of Malta organizers announced the shift in venue for 2020. The series runs Nov. 1-22 and a full schedule is expected soon.

“It is with a heavy heart that Casino Malta had to postpone the much-awaited Battle of Malta live event, but we’re elated to partner with such a prestigious brand as GGPoker,” Casino Malta general manager Slawomir Świtalski said in a news release. “We look forward to seeing everyone in Malta in 2021 for a very special Battle of Malta.”

GGPoker adds another big poker brand with Battle of Malta

The Battle of Malta debuted in 2012 and is one of the most popular standalone live poker events in Europe. The award-winning festival has smashed records eight years in a row.

Last year’s series featured 35 events over seven days with more than 13,000 entries. The annual series is held in Eden Arena in St. Julian’s, Malta.

Designed for low- to mid-stakes players, the Battle of Malta is one of Europe’s biggest poker events. Last year’s Main Event attracted 4,657 entries and generated a €2.3 million prize pool.

Along with poker, organizers try to highlight the beautiful and historic island. While there won’t be any trips to the beach this year, there will still be plenty of poker and fun.

“I’m genuinely excited to announce that the Battle of Malta 2020 will be hosted at GGPoker,” said John Scanlon, the site’s director of live events and sponsorships.

“It’s an honor to be unveiled as the organizers’ preferred online partner, and I’m confident that this year’s Battle of Malta will be bigger and better than ever.”

What to expect from this year’s online Battle of Malta

GGPoker made some big waves internationally in recent months. The site is one of the fastest-growing online poker platforms in the world.

GG is fresh off hosting the World Series of Poker Online, which also included WSOP.com in the US. That series allowed players around the world to battle for gold bracelets online for the first time.

The WSOP Online became the biggest online poker tournament series in history, paying out $148 million. GG will now host one of Europe’s most popular series with players around the world getting in the Maltese action.

The $550 Main Event headlines the series with a $3 million guarantee. A full schedule will be posted when made available.

CASH BASH: WPT Online Championships Award $101 Million, 45,000 Satellite Seats

The WPT World Online Championships awarded $101 million at partypoker.

After more than two months of action, the inaugural WPT World Online Championships wrapped up on Sept. 24 at partypoker. The series attracted more than 34,000 players and paid out a total prize pool of $101 million.

The WOCs were designed to replicate an authentic live WPT experience. That meant using real names, limited starting days for championship events, and only one re-entry per day. Organizers were thrilled with the results.

“The WPT World Online Championships have marked a new milestone for the WPT and partypoker, and the response from the players throughout the series has been overwhelming,” WPT Europe Vice President Hermance Blum said in a news release. “We take a lot of pride bringing the unique feel of the WPT to the online felt.”

Bringing players of all types to partypoker

The WPT and partypoker made reaching players of all bankroll levels a big part of the action. That included numerous satellites throughout the festival awarding 45,605 tournament seats.

Of those, 19,655 were unique players qualifying through satellites. In total, the series attracted 285,846 total entries and 34,811 unique entries.

“We are delighted that the WPT World Online Championships created so many success stories,” partypoker managing director Tom Waters said in a news release. “The focus for the series was delivering quality, well-structured events that would give satellite players great opportunities to compete with the best players in the world and the results speak for themselves.

“We look forward to working with the WPT again and sticking to the values that we believe bring the best live poker events online.” 

The $10,300 Main Event final table is a nice example of the opportunities available to players. Seven of the nine final table players qualified via satellite.

Victor Simionato pulled off a particularly remarkable feat. He started with a $22 buy-in and moved through three satellites to qualify. He eventually took fifth for $391,257.

Phil Mighall beat Teun Mulder heads-up for the title to win $1.6 million after a deal. Mulder scored $1.4 million for runner-up.

Phil Mighall won the WPT World Online Championships Main Event for $1.6 million.

Other WPT satellite winners score big

Along with the Main Event, other players also came through big after winning seats by qualifiers. In the Mini Main Event, five of the final nine players qualified through value-added seats.

Arturs Balodis finished third but won the most prize money in the event after a deal was reached. He won his seat in a $55 Gladiator and banked $535,269. Nichita Verbitchii finished second for $339,607 after winning a seat in an $11 Terminator. 

On the last day of the festival, Charlotte Godwin pulled off a similar amazing feat. She qualified for the $102,000 WPT Super High Roller Championship after starting in a $109 feeder event. 

Godwin went on to finish third and win $620,000. One moment stood out when she was all in and rivered an Ace to stay alive in the tournament. If not for that river card, Godwin would have been eliminated in seventh on the money bubble.

A few other key highlights from the series include:

  • Five players winning prizes of more than $1 million.  
  • Players from 94 different nationalities cashing in the series.
  • More event winners (19%) came from the United Kingdom than any other country.

A look at the WOC leaderboards

Along with a slate of major events, the series also rewarded consistency. The WPT World Online Championships leaderboards paid out $100,000.

Artur Martirosian won the Player of the Championships for an additional $50,000 on top of his tournament earnings. Players earned points by finishing in the money in any tournament with a buy-in of $320 or more. 

In the Rising Star competition, Luiz Constantino’s victory in the Micro Main Event helped him top the leaderboard. He picked up an extra $10,000 for his efforts. Players earned Rising Star points for any event with a buy-in of $300 or less.

Team partypoker donates to the freeroll cause

As an added bonus to players, Team partypoker pros pledged their own leaderboard winnings to post-series freerolls. Partypoker is hosting a WPT After Party Freeroll in each player’s name.

Freerolls also include bounty prizes, with each Team partypoker player carrying a $22 Predator ticket on his or her head. Here’s a look at the freerolls all set for this week:

  • Tuesday, Sept. 29 (Robert Romanello) –  $2,000
  • Wednesday, Sept. 30 (Patrick Leonard) – $6,000
  • Thursday, Oct. 1 (Mikita Badziakouski) – $1,000
  • Friday, Oct. 2 (Kristen Bicknell) – $1,000

There were many other notable performances throughout the series. Six players increased their bankrolls by seven-figure sums by the end of the festival.

Team partypoker’s Isaac Haxton placed as the top on the earnings list with $2.1 million. He was followed by Mighall with $1.7 million and Martirosian with $1.6 million.

Online poker series around the world continue to surge and partypoker’s WOC events are a testament to that environment. It’s a good bet another big series is around the corner.

PokerStars WCOOP Finishes Up with $100 Million Awarded

PokerStars has announced its biggest WCOOP series yet.

The massive payouts in international tournament series continued over the last month and that certainly included PokerStars. The World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) came to a close last week with all three Main Event winners crowned and $100 million awarded to players.

That total exceeded the original $80 million guarantee with 1,148,057 entries across the 75-event schedule.

WCOOP main events pay out big cash 

The series featured three main events and tournaments for all levels of bankroll. Portuguese player Andre “PTFisherman23” Marques took down the $5,200 High Main Event for more than $1.1 million.

The title came after the final three players cut a deal. Marques, who has $144,000 in live tournament winnings, topped a 1,977-entry field.

It marked the 14th consecutive year the High Main Event winner has earned a seven-figure prize. The runner-up and third-place winners also all took home more than $1 million.

In the $530 Medium Main Event, “1mSoWeeeaK” started as final table chip leader and went on to win the title. The Thai player topped a field of 7,105 entries for $504,584.

Russia’s “Y.Zakharov” took runner-up for $359,680 while Germany’s “$harkFlo” finished third for $256,392. All top-five finishers collected six-figure prizes as well.

In the $55 Low Main Event, “klimono” capitalized on entering the final table as chip leader as well. This Polish player went on to take the championship for $186,841 in under 90 minutes.

The champion eliminated seven of eight final table opponents single-handedly. “klimono” accumulated almost 90% of all chips before heads-up play against Belgium’s “Tangawi26,” which lasted only one hand.

“Tangawi26” added $132,092 for runner-up and the United Kingdom’s “ID IMPOSS” for $93,403. The event attracted a massive field of 38,660 and $1.9 million prize pool.

A look at some other PokerStars winners

The WCOOP title came with some unique twists this year. PokerStars offered 15 champions exclusive “2021 Slam Packages” to any player winning a “Sunday Slam” WCOOP tournament.

The packages give these winners Main Event High entries into 2021 WCOOP, SCOOP, and Stadium Series. The packages were a nice added bonus for players.

In the battle for WCOOP Player of the Series, “Zapahzamazki” earned the top spot. On the country leaderboard, Brazil won with 35 event titles.

PokerStars ambassador Ben “Spraggy” Spragg also picked up his first ever WCOOP title. On the opening night of the series, he won Event 5-L for $4,349 over 12,192 other entries.

The series is part of a massive September for PokerStars. The company has more than $200 million in guarantees spread across its platforms throughout the month.

Another upcoming PokerStars series hasn’t been announced yet. But with online poker surging during the Coronavirus pandemic, there’s a good shot more is right around the corner.

Phil Mighall Secures WPT Online Main Event Title for $1.6 Million; Satellite Winners Score Huge

Phil Mighall won the WPT World Online Championships Main Event for $1.6 million.

Phil Mighall became the latest player to add his name to the Mike Sexton World Poker Tour Champions Cup and did so in a big way. On Wednesday, this player from the United Kingdom became the inaugural champion of the $10,300 WPT World Online Championships Main Event.

Mighall scored a Herculean payout of $1.6 million on partypoker after topping a field of 1,011. The event built a $10.1 million prize pool and was the highlight of the series. Mighall now sits among the tour’s champions.

Cracking Aces to take the title

When the Main Event reached heads-up play, Mighall battled Netherlands-based Teun Mulder. The two agreed to a deal with an extra $100,000 in prize money to play for.

The final hand saw Mulder’s pocket Aces catch a third Ace on the flop. However, his opponent hit a gutshot straight on the turn. Mighall then moved all in. Mulder called and Mighall secured the title.

For his runner-up finish, Mulder earned $1.4 million. Mighall is the first player to add his name to the Sexton Cup since the trophy’s namesake passed away.

Beyond the online game, Mighall has more than $531,000 in live tournament winnings. Along with a replica version of the Sexton Cup, he receives several other nice extras including: 

  • $15,000 added value entry into the next WPT Tournament of Champions (presented by Baccarat Crystal)
  • a Hublot Big Bang timepiece worth $15,000
  • a set of Baccarat Crystal tumblers

More satellite winners score big in WPT events at partypoker

The WOCs were meant to be similar to a live WPT experience with players’ names used at the tables. Numerous satellites and qualifiers were also offered throughout the series to give lower bankroll players a shot.

That included the Main Event, with seven of nine final table players qualifying via satellite. Argentina’s Damian Salas entered the final table as the chip leader after qualifying in a $1,000 satellite. He went on to finish third for a massive $814,664.

Blaz Zerjav, of Slovenia, qualified through a partypoker LIVE passport and took fourth for $552,006.

Brazil’s Victor Simionato pulled off one of the biggest underdog stories of the entire series. He started in a $22 qualifier and navigated through three satellites to qualify for the Main Event. By the time he was eliminated in fifth place, Simionato earned a life-changing $391,257.

Team partypoker’s Dzmitry Urbanovich, of Poland, also went on an impressive run to the final table. He qualified in a $530 satellite before going on to finish sixth for $277,014.

The final table was streamed live on partypoker’s Twitch and YouTube channels. The WPT’s Matt Savage and Lynn Gilmartin as well as James Dempsey called the action.

“Tournaments this size don’t come around very often,” said Team partypoker’s Jason Koon, who also commented on some of the action. “The final table had a ton of talent and was open for several players to win, which made it really enjoyable to watch.

“It’s got to be an amazing feeling taking down this special WPT, so congratulations to Phil Mighall.”

WPT partypoker WOC action continues 

The Main Event may be over but plenty of events remain at partypoker. The WOCs run through Sept. 24 with $100 million guaranteed for the entire series.

One major event is set to conclude on Thursday. The $3,200 WPT Heads Up Championship is down to the final 16 players after attracting 166 entries in the bracket-style event.

Partypoker will stream those events tonight in a unique setting with four tables at once. Other major events set to wrap up in the next week and streamed online include:

  • Turbo Championship
  • High Roller Championship
  • Super High Roller Championship

Unibet Launches UOS9 with $1 Million Guaranteed; New Software in the Works

The Unibet Online Series X kicks off Nov. 22 and features €1 million guaranteed.

Poker players have yet another online series to look forward to this week. The Unibet Online Series 9 kicks off Sept. 18 and runs through Oct. 11 with 133 events and an overall guarantee of €1 million.

The site caters to those who may not be looking for mega buy-in events and prefer some lower-stakes cash games and tournaments. Those looking to go a bit bigger, however, will also find some action.

The UOS9 is an example of that with Nano, Low, Mid, and High buy-in levels. That ranges from as small as €0.50 all the way up to €300.

Those looking for some lower buy-in options and plenty of fun may want to jump in the UOS9 action.

 

“We foster for our recreational players by running a quite large part of our tournaments in the lower buy-in range,” Kindred Group (Unibet’s corporate owner) poker tournament manager Leo Wagenius tells USPoker. “But of course we’re also running some weekly tournaments in the higher buy-in range, such as €50 to €200.”

Some highlights of the Unibet OS9 schedule

The UOS9 offers plenty of tournaments for players who prefer some fun with a bargain buy-in. Unibet goes out of its way to live up to its motto “By players, for players.”

When it comes to micro stakes action that means no rake. Unibet takes no fee for any tournaments with a buy-in of €1 or less.

Players in the UOS9 will find mostly No Limit Hold’em with a few Omaha events mixed in. There are also several bounty tournaments on the schedule, adding some extra excitement.

Key bullet points include three two-day main events set for Oct. 2 with the €300 Main Event guaranteeing €30,000. The €0.50 Nano version guarantees €400 and the €10 Low version guarantees €4,000.

Unibet is also including some of its traditional brands into the series: the UK Tour and the Unibet Open. The €1,100 Unibet Open Online, a two-day event with €250,000 guaranteed, should attract a nice field.

A few other events that should draw plenty of interest include:

  • €1 Nano NLHE Rebuy Two-Day – €500 guaranteed (Sept. 20)
  • €50 Mid NLHE Rebuy Two-Day – €25,000 guaranteed (Sept. 27)
  • €250 High NLHE UK Tour Online Two-Day – €25,000 guaranteed (Sept. 27)
  • €100 Rebuy High NLHE Two-Day – €50,000 guaranteed (Oct. 4)
  • €50 Rebuy Mid NLHE Two-Day – €25,000 guaranteed (Oct. 4)
  • €100 High Unibet Open Online Two-Day – €25,000 guaranteed (Oct. 11)
  • €1,100 High Unibet Open Online Two-Day – €250,000 guaranteed (Oct. 11)

Proudly rec player friendly at Unibet

Catering to recreational and part-time players is a major part of the mindset at Unibet. Along with lower buy-ins and rake-free micro events, the site also has some other ways it caters to rec players.

Poker tracking software is banned and players can change their usernames up to three times a day. These present some obstacles for sharks looking to feast on less-experienced players.

Wagenius says communicating with players remains a big goal as well at Unibet.

“What really stands out is our close and straightforward communication with our customers,” he says. “We have a Unibet community where we listen to customer suggestions on a daily basis.”

The site also offers players the ability to create on-demand home game tournaments. All these events run rake free – a nice benefit to play with friends while social distancing during a pandemic.

“It’s really appreciated by customers, to be able to have small tournaments with friends and not pay for it,” Wagenius says.

“The entire poker team tries to make customers feel that they can actually impact where we take the product.”

Players have another nice event to look forward to during UOS9. The site plans to launch a complete software client facelift on Sept. 22. No word on the changes yet, but with its player-friendly approach, Unibet hopes the new software will be even more user friendly.

Big Satellites Planned as WPT Main Event Approaches; POWERFEST Underway in France, Spain

The WPT announced this week that the company’s televised events are now available to millions more players across Europe.

After more than six weeks of action at partypoker, the highlight of the WPT World Online Championships is on the horizon. As part of that, the site has a host of satellites planned for the Main Event, set to finish up on Sept. 16.

The $10,300 tournament features a $10 million guarantee and Day 1A is set for Sunday, Sept. 6. The WPT and partypoker have numerous ways to get in the action and hoping a wide range of players get involved.

WPT Main Event satellite spectaculars running all week at partypoker

For the Main Event, players can enter feeder events to the satellites for as little as $2.20. That small amount can eventually turn into a $10,300 seat.

Several mega satellites also give players chances to enter the tournament, priced at $530 and $1,050 buy-in levels.

Team partypoker’s Richard Dubini has already experienced his own qualifier success. He turned a $109 satellite entry into a $10,300 partypoker LIVE passport.

Dubini will now be using that passport for the Main Event.

“I’m so excited to play in the Main Event, with $10 million guaranteed,” Dubini said in a news release. “I won my seat … which proves there is so much value in these amazing satellites.”

Plenty of added value in WPT Main Event

Partypoker has made it quite an event with some nice extras planned for the Main Event winner. On top of the cash winnings, the Main Event winner will also receive a $15,000 package to the next WPT Tournament of Champions (presented by Baccarat Crystal).

Just like a live WPT event, the champion’s name will be engraved on the Mike Sexton WPT Champions Cup trophy. The winner also receives a replica version of the trophy as well as:

  • joining the exclusive WPT Champions Club
  • winning a Hublot Big Bang watch worth $15,000
  • taking home a set of Baccarat Crystal tumblers

Satellite success stories during WPT World Online Championships

Several lower buy-in players have already found success in WOC satellites. Liliane Figueiredo won $13,153 after qualifying via a Second Chance Freeroll for the $109 Six-Max Mini Warmup.

Last week, Kim Heidemann qualified for the Micro Main Event through a satellite, then finishing runner-up for $104,299.

Team partypoker’s Louise Butler praised the site for running so many qualifiers.

“The satellite schedule for WPT World Online Championships is the best I’ve ever seen for an online series,” he says. “There have been some amazing stories of satellite players who have turned small buy-ins into six-figure scores.

“I’m looking forward to playing in the satellites for the Main Event and I hope they will result in more great stories for lower buy-in players.” 

The WOCs run through Sept. 24 with tens of millions of dollars in guarantees still up for grabs. The series is designed to replicate an authentic live poker experience.

That includes the use of players’ real names and limited Day 1 flights and re-entries.

POWERFEST underway, Benjamin Pollak joins Team partypoker

In addition to the WOCs, partypoker’s POWERFEST is running on the partypoker EU network through Sept. 23. The annual series features a guarantee of €5 million in France and €4.5 million in Spain.

POWERFEST offers something for all types of players in three tiers:

  • High Roller
  • Medium
  • Low

Corresponding with the series is the announcement that French poker pro Benjamin Pollak has joined Team partypoker.

Pollak burst onto the poker scene with a third-place finish in the 2017 World Series of Poker Main Event. That finish landed him $3.5 million and he now has almost $13 million in live tournament winnings. 

Pollak began playing poker in 2006 and then quickly moved up in stakes.

“I immediately felt that I was able to go far,” he says. “With hindsight, it may be because I had spent 10 years in Magic [The Gathering, a card game] and I was therefore used to cards and bluffing. Poker was a revelation. I felt it was made for me.”

For Pollak, it’s important poker remains fun and he enjoys showcasing the human element of the game. He can be found playing at the partypoker tables as “BenjaminPollak.”

“I’m thrilled and very excited to join the partypoker team,” he says. “They’ve supported players from the beginning and see the game as I do. I couldn’t be more happy to support them and be part of this great adventure.”

PokerStars Adds Cards-Up Streaming for $80 Million WCOOP; Events Start Aug. 30

The World Poker Tour is honoring PokerStars founder Isai Scheinberg as one of the latest recipients of the WPT Honors Award.

Poker fans who enjoy televised and live-streamed tournaments have been in luck over the last few months. Almost every operator has been offering major events streamed on Twitch and other platforms.

A host of voices providing PokerStars coverage

The 2020 WCOOP is the largest in the history of the series and the site is going the extra mile. Stars hopes to bring viewers closer to the action, making hole cards visible to stream viewers on a short delay.

When the series gets underway, regular presenters James Hartigan and Joe Stapleton will welcome fans checking out the festivities. Special guests will also drop in including poker pros Sam Grafton and Griffin Benger.

Maria Ho anchors the daily coverage, which starts on Aug. 31. In addition to the live streams, there will be 18 final table replays exclusive to the PokerStars Twitch channel. 

PokerStars streamers GJReggie, Mason Pye, and Nick Walsh from OP Poker will offer commentary on those.

WCOOP gets underway this Sunday and offers something for every buy-in level. PokerStars has also promised numerous tournament types.

All events feature Low, Medium, and High buy-ins ranging from $2.20 to $25,000. Three freezeout main events highlight the schedule and are set for Sept. 20. Those include some hefty guarantees:
