OlyBet Last Longer kicks off at the Battle of Malta ME: Day 2
The Battle of Malta 2022 Autumn Edition Main Event attracted many players across the world. At the start of Day 3, less than 5% of the field is remaining, and 11 players are representing OlyBet Poker.
The Main Event exceeded expectations with a huge turnout of players. Through six starting days of the €555 Main Event, poker enthusiasts bought in a total of 4,342 times, creating a prize pool of €2,084,160, well over the €1M GTD.
Last night, 650 players returned to Day 2. Each of them already had a guaranteed min-cash of €1,000, yet everyone was dreaming about the title and the €302,000 top prize. A total of 208 advanced to Day 3, which started Monday at 14:00 local time.
At the start of Day 2, OlyBet Poker introduced a special offer for players from Finland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. Players had to put on OlyBet patches, and the last man standing would win a €1,100 ticket to the Kings of Tallinn 2023 Main Event, which will take place end of February next year. Thirty-four players decided to join this promotion. The Day 2 barrier was too high for many of them, but 11 OlyBet players managed to survive Day 2 and returned to the tables on Monday afternoon.
Finland’s Toivo Rinne is in the best situation with 890,000 chips, which grants him the 24th starting position among Day 3 players. His fellow Finns Timo Ruuska (638,000) and Henri Juutilainen (446,000) are also returning to the fight.
Day 3 saw the return of six Estonians: Taivo Sillaste (814,000), Marko Keskel (729,000), Kaspar Vallisaar (575,000), Magnus Pukk (458,000), Tarmo Tammel (263,000) and Ruben Rahumägi (220,000). While Kaspar and Tarmo are not in the OlyBet Last longer, the other four are eyeing a €1,100 Kings of Tallinn ticket as an additional prize.
Three Latvians entered Day 2, and two are still in contention – Maksims Azarjancs (284,000) and Benjamins Fonarjovs (200,000). Three Lithuanians came back today, with Lukas Stankevičius (488,000) and Kasparas Klezys (309,000) wearing OlyBet patches, while Mantas Petrauskas (625,000) is fighting for the Battle of Malta prizes only.
