€250 Sviten Special
Level 14: 4,000/8,000
Entries: 19/79
Christel Haller might be a familiar name to those that follow The Festival Series as in the past she has been part of our work crew handling all of the social media. The multi-talented Melvin Schroen is handling the social media responsibilities this time around and Haller is here at Portomaso Casino in Malta in hopes to win a tournament at The Festival Series.
Unfortunately, our hero won't win the title on the first day of The Festival Series Malta as she just hit the rail in the Sviten Special event after nearly eight hours of play.
"I'm out of the Sviten Special," Haller shared with us with some disappointment in her voice. "I had four hearts on an eight-deuce-three flop. He bet and I called as I also had the eight in my hand. Then he didn't change any cards and I took one. It was a three but not a heart but did give me two pair on the board. He had a monster with a full house with sevens over sixes. We got it all-in after a nine came on the turn and I was still ahead for half the pot. However, he completed a straight after a five came on the river."
Haller did much better than many others and did quite well considering this was her first Sviten Special tournament at a casino. We wish better things to come for Haller.
Meanwhile, in other news, the Sviten Special event is down to just 19 players with 11 making the money for at least a €350 min-cash. The winner will take home much more with a €5,200 top prize on the line. While this is scheduled for a two-day event, it is possible we will have a winner this evening. We will update further about this event early tomorrow. In the meantime, here is a look at all of the payouts.
