Malta Poker Showdown’s second event took place at the Casino Di Venezia, last Sunday, the 25th April. This April edition achieved a greater participating rate than the previous month, with 32 players joining in the poker tournament, up from around 20 in the previous month.
The €150 + €15 Malta Poker showdown Tournament reached a pot of €4,800 this month giving players €2,000 more than the March’ edition of this new poker tournament in Malta.
The live poker tourney attracted a number of Maltese players together with a host of foreigners based in Malta, who all share a love for Texas Hold’em poker, the world’s favourite card game. Swedish finalists Lars Johannson and Daniel Erikkson were in fact the last two players at the table after the tournament had almost reached its final stages.
Daniel Erikkson took down the first prize with his full house made up of 5’s full of 9’s at the concluding hand of the Malta Poker Showdown’s final table. Daniel’s hand sent out Lars Johannson in 2nd place taking home a respectable €1,000. Daniel took home the biggest cash prize amounting to €2,000 for his enduring focus at the poker tables.

1st Daniel Erikkson €2000
2nd Lars Johansson €1000
3rd Ray Bonnici €800
