Leaderboard update

Four players with real chances to get the bracelet just busted. Sascha Firth, Jamie Lennox and Alexandre Andermatt did well, but it was not enough.

Teemu Lahtinen, who was just busted, holds the lead on our race, but since we have so many players with real chance still on, it is not expected that he gets it.

Stay with us for live updates on the race for the Golden Bracelet.

Player Profile - JOE

During the break we managed to catch our player Joe who came all the way from Singapore to play Malta Poker Tour and ask him about his experience.
“Its very exciting for me to play this event, since it’s the second live event I played in my life. I started playing four years ago when I received 100 USD as a bonus deposit and I built up my bankroll. Today, my biggest online winning is 20 000USD and I plan on continuing. My wish is to play the APPT in Manilla in November so I must get on the affiliating to collect the money.”-says Beng Joe as he is trying to convince me he is 32 years old. I found it hard to believe that since he looked so young but then he told me about his travelings and how much he enjoys them, so I tought - he cant be 20 and been all over the world already.:) He especially loves to go to China and Czech Republic and when traveling he never forgets to bring a book, as his favorite literature is the one about poker. 

“One day Im gonna be just like Doyle!” - said Joe and rushed to the table.

On the karting side, organization were surprised to see that we had some extremely good pilots. And the top, Alexander Digholm, Zsolt Nagy and Juuso Lepannen had their own battle for the first three places.
