Records, records, records are being broken left and right at The Festival Series Malta. As we mentioned earlier in our coverage, the €250 Sviten Special event broke a new The Festival Series attendance record with 79 entries beating the previous record of 77 entries.
Meanwhile, yesterday the €250 PokerListings Championship broke The Festival Series prize pool record with 354 entries generating a €76,464 prize pool. While today, the €125 8-Game established a new The Festival Series attendance record with 93 entries for a €9,820 prize pool.
The 8-Game and PokerListings Championship are on dinner break. It might be some time before the 8-Game reaches the money with 26 players remaining and the event paying out the top nine players at least a €300 min-cash with the eventual winner scheduled to earn the top prize of €3,350.
Meanwhile, the PokerListings Championship is down to the final nine players with each player locking up at least a €1,340 prize. Colin Lovelock is looking for back-to-back championships after previously shipping this event at The Festival Series Nottingham. Other players that are in the hunt for the top prize of €16,200 include Niklas Borg, Karl Sundin, Manuel Blaschke, Younes Jarir, Vahur Tima, Tanguy Pellerin, Wooseung Kim, and Laila Hawaszadeh.
