The stars came out, including the likes of Liv Boeree, Marcin Horecki, Theo Jorgensen and Jan Heitmann of Team PokerStars Pro, plus the SportStar Fatima Moreira de Melo, and a host of other top names in the game.As is typical, some survived to fight another day, while plenty of others perished.

Before this tournament started I had already seen lots of the well known players being very enthusiastic about going to Malta and it definitely looks like all the star players will be involved. I notice Jack Salter doing well again,he seems to be on a good run at the moment.

Theo Jorgensen is very well classified and is, in my opinion, the one who can best win this event. Of course they all know a lot of the game and they're all used to the kind of pressure they're feeling in this moment, but i guess Theo Jorgensen is more prepared than the others due to his experience.

Really not bad what these guys are playing, but I am rather proud of my own "European Poker Tour" success. Yesterday I have win 50 cents in the German EPT live malta freeroll on Ppokerstars. It was only the minimum cash, but still better then just watching poker on TV.

I've never heard anybody speaking enthusiasticly about going to Malta. Ever.
