A few lucky poker players from the 888poker online poker portal could find their way to Malta. The poker site is giving players a chance to win a seat at the Battle of Malta (BOM) €550 Main Event for as little as $0.01. The tournament offers a guaranteed prize pool of €1 million (US$1.16 million).

The series of tournaments will run from October 25-30 and include an ample selection of NLHE and PLO games. In addition to the Main Event, there will also be a Ladies Tournament, a €165 PLO Double Chance, a €220 Final Battle Turbo, a three-day €1,320 High Roller, a €330 Deepstack Turbo event and a three-day €245 “Siege of Malta” tournament.

888poker’s Battle of Malta package includes the Main Event buy-in, accommodations at the Hotel InterContinental, travel money, access to the BOM VIP party and a 888poker LIVE kit. In addition, the BOM Main Event winner will also receive the LIVE kit for the London event in November, including accommodations and entry into the Main Event.

Last year’s tournament attracted 2,074 entries, setting a new attendance record. It was the largest poker tournament ever seen on the Mediterranean island and set the stage for an even bigger turnout this year. Given that the event has been called the “Best Low Buy-in Tournament in Europe,” it’s no surprise that the field keeps growing.
