�560 EAPT Malta Day 1a Kicks Off at Noon
For its last stop before the Grand Final during the Mediterranean Poker Party in Cyprus in May, the Eurasian Poker Tour (EAPT) settles in Malta, at Portomaso Casino.
The event started on Monday, April 5, with the �120 Flight to MPP, won last night by Italy's Lorenzo Di Blasi for �8,500 and a �5,000 Package to the EAPT Grand Final. But things are getting very serious today, Monday, April 8, with the launch of the �560 Main Event. Back in February, Antonio Puntas was the one who won the last EAPT tournament (�28,732), ahead of a field of 305 entrants.
