It wasnt a big tournament, but it wasnt a small wither. The number of participants was high enough, probably due to low buy in. Wonder how the brm member did in this tournament. We can also see, that there was a deal, between the last five players.

That and the fact they basically threw the registration package after you on the onlne satellites if you were just a little bit interested to participate...
I think this is a rather unusual event .... when two Frenchmen in the final play out the main prize .... there are not so many French players at all .... and here two are challenging the victory at once .... of course the venue greatly influenced this .... France is very close to Malta .... very very close

Biggest Ever Battle of Malta was a major tournament with excellent prizes. 1st place won less than 10% of the total prizes and that's very good for all players who have finished In The Money. If it was an Pokerstars online tournament then 1st place wins approximately between 15.7 and 18% but is not the case and i think online poker prizes need to be changed, because for 1st is too much money. Congratulations to all players of the final table.

Massive well done to Julien Stropoli for being crowned champion of the 2018 Battle of Malta main event and scooping over €150,000! That is a good amount of money. It takes an enormous amount of dedication and perseverance to maneuver through a field of 3,816 players.

Not in November - you're not. Rain and max. 20 degrees in Celsius is not a weather made for swimming and chilling on the beach.
