Three Events Make Malta Europe's Hottest Poker Destination in November

The Battle of Malta (Nov 6-9), the Malta iGaming Seminar MiGS14 (Nov 11-12), and the inaugural @Malta Poker Championship (Nov 17-22), not to mention the newly scheduled  EPT stop in March 2015 - Malta is definitely trending in the world of poker! Here are the events you should have on your calendar:

@PokerListings Battle of Malta started yesterday, crushing the $500,000 guarantee with 521 entries and well over 600 registered to play on Day 1B. In addition to @Fabrice Soulier and @Johnny Lodden, notables in the field included Rising Star @Dominik Panka and Living Legend @Thor Hansen, who received the respective PokerListings Spirit of Poker  awards for 2014. Among the ladies in contention at the Battle of Malta poker tables are @Sofia Lovgren @Leonor Margets-Perez @Gaelle Garcia Diaz and of course, BoM 2014 host, @Maria Ho. 

The Malta iGaming Seminar (MiGS) was first held in 2009 with the aim of promoting Malta as an ideal gaming jurisdiction. It has since become a highlighted event on the international calendar of gaming industry decision-makers and professionals. This year’s 6th edition, November 11-12, anticipates record attendance and includes a charity event and a poker tournament organized in partnership with the Battle of Malta on November 10th. We are particularly happy that our own @Nicolas Levi is a speaker on the MiGS14 poker panel!

We are just 10 days away from the start of the inaugural @Malta Poker Championship at @Casino at Portomaso!  RankingHeroes know all about it because of our October #MPCinterview contest in which the community elected @Michel Pons to take our patch to Malta. With his best-liked submission, Michel won the fantastic first-prize package, including buy-in, airfare, and hotel!

 #MPCinterview 

Cant believe i just won the #MPC @portomasocasinomalta . Huge thanks to everyone at ranking hero and all my family and friends for supporting me.

Quel sera votre premier post sur RankingHero pour annoncer votre perf au MPC à vos supporters ?

Un post plein d’émotion sans doute ? Je ne sais pas si j'ai mérité cette victoire, ce titre, ni même ce contrat, même si je ne sais pas si la notion de mérite existe au poker, en tout cas je suis bien là ce soir au @Casino at portomaso j'ai du mal à réaliser, à croire que je rêve debout, je me revois encore derrière mon laptop, écrire un post sur rankinghero afin de participer à un coucours pour pouvoir jouer ce tournoi  #loeufoulapoule 

Avec qui allez-vous célébrer cet évènement ? Allez-vous rester au @Casino at Portomaso  pour faire la fête ce soir ?

Je vais la fêter avec les belles rencontres que j'ai pu faire lors de ce séjour à #malte! Je tiens à offrir une tournée à tous ce qui porte un patch rankinghero, ainsi qu’aux membres de l’équipe présent ici sur place au casino, si je suis là c'est devant vous c'est grace à eux. Ce séjour ce conclu par la plus belle des fins, dans ce casino de rêve, je pense que ce n’est qu’un début et que ce n’est pas la dernière fois que j'y met les pieds. #soulier 

A qui dédicacez-vous votre performance ?
