On the Hustle: 24 Hours to Go Until 2016 Battle of Malta

The final live satellites are set to go at the Portomaso Casino.

Last-minute sales of VIP packages are still available. Main Event registration is open imminently and Maria Ho is warming up her voice for the Karaoke throwdown.

It’s that time of year again and the event you’ve all been waiting for is 24 hours from finally getting underway.

If you're yet to jump on a plane and make your way here, it's still not too late. Our last-minute flash sale will save you €200 on every VIP package or friend package you book.

You can now also book your ticket to any of our side events online. Go to our payment page and secure your ticket.

Register Early, Satellites Running

Still room at the Inn.

If your seat is already secured, beyond a last-minute review of your push-fold charts your next mission is to register.

Our recommendation when you arrive in Malta is to register asap. The longer you wait, the longer the queues will be at the registration desk.

The registration desk is open from 4 PM on Tuesday and 12 PM on Wednesday and casino staff will get you sorted and ready quickly. Don’t forget your ID!

You can also still satellite your way into the main event right on location. We’re running €55+5 qualifiers until Wednesday when the last ME qualifier starts at 7 PM.

More Than Poker

The Battle of Malta, as you know, is more than a series of poker tournaments. Every night we’ll have a party somewhere to keep you entertained and make your stay even better.

Our host Maria Ho will play a special role at the first of our parties – the Karaoke night at the Marina. If you've been here before you know Maria loves to sing and she doesn’t shy away when someone gets the music machine started.

Still time to get to @PokerListings #BattleofMalta for all the festivities. €550 buy in, €500,000 Guarantee! Oh and did someone say karaoke? pic.twitter.com/LSIocUjCFw

Skies are clear.

Malta was hit by a storm last weekend but it’s already long gone and clear again.

Temperatures are supposed to rise to 26°C (79°F) by Friday so you’ll need your sunglasses away from the tables, too.

The three starting days for the Battle of Malta 2016 are Wednesday to Friday and the starting time is 2 PM.

Look out for the Spirit of Poker Awards ceremony on Thursday. Maria Ho will hand over the awards to our winners Felipe Ramos, Silje Nilsen and Konstantin Puchkov during the first break.
