Battle Of Malta Poker 2019 Schedule
The Battle of Malta 2019 is less than a month away. The prestigious, award-winning tournament will start on Wednesday, October 16th and run for seven days with a record number of 27 different events.
The Battle of Malta 2019 is taking place October 25–30 and will again be held in the spacious Eden Arena at the InterContinental Conference Centre, adjacent to Casino Malta. Now heading into its eighth consecutive year, the event has built a solid reputation as the #1 destination No Limit tournament for low to mid-stakes poker players. The full schedule for the Battle of Malta 2020 was released as below. It will run for the first three weeks of November and feature a multitude of side events, satellites, and cheap qualifiers. Since the hit show Game of Thrones was initially filmed in Malta, this became part of the theme.

As the World Series of Poker turns 50 this year the WSOP organizing committee has gone the extra mile - and then some - to make the 2019 WSOP schedule a memorable one. A dazzling array of 90 (!) events are on the official WSOP schedule with the entire festival kicking off on May 29.
The buy-in for the main event is €555 and it will come with a hefty guarantee of €1,000,000. Last year this guarantee was easily surpassed as a record number of 3.816 entries signed up for the tournament, generating a prize pool of €1,850,760.
The first Battle of Malta was held in 2012 and since then the tournament broke its own attendance record every year. From 349 entries seven years ago to almost 4,000 last year – the BoM paces from record to record. It is not unlikely that this year will see yet another mind boggling attendance number.
Last year the Frenchman Julian Stropoli won the main event and took home €168,500. But he wasn't the biggest winner last year. Due to a deal the final his fellow countryman Maxime Canevet bagged €192,000 - almost 350 times the buy-in.
This is how the number of entries for the Battle of Malta has developed over the past 7 years:
