Didnt take long to get action tonight. Sindre went all in preflop with 6,3 offs and Martin called with a pair of Aces. Board came bad for Sindre and we needed to say good bye to him untill next time.

THANK YOU SINDRE!

Waiting for the final table

While waiting for the final table and being unpatient to find out who is going to win the bracelet, players started forming their S’n'G tables and competing in skills since there is two girls at the table that are going to prove that they might be cute but they are not harmless

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.

Only two hours after the start, Jose Quintas got knocked out by a Russian player Alex Milyushin and is now officialy out of the bracelet race.
Jose opened his cards and saw AQ. Did not think much and called Alex’ all in preflop (AJ). Chances were good untill the river.Alex rivered a Jack and took Joses chips.

Thank you for playing with us Jose, you are still one of the leaders for the bracelet!
