PokerStars has announced plans to host their first-ever live Spin & Go tournament at the forthcoming European Poker Tour festival in Malta; Online Spin & Go jackpots increase to 10,000x the buy-in.

It’s not easy being a live tournament grinder these days. It’s a case of deep pockets or wealthy backers. As the World Series of Poker Europe (WSOPE) reaches its climax, the European Poker Tour (EPT) opens the doors of its Maltese festival.

It’s the second time the EPT has held a festival in Malta. Last year, Jean Montury won the €5,300 Main Event, earning, €687,400, and the Pole Dzmitry Urbanovich announced his presence to the world after winning a record-breaking four side events. He would go on to win the EPT11 Player of the Year award.

There will be 76 events sandwiched between Oct 20-31. The Portomaso Casino will act as hosts. The festival will have a place for the Italian Poker Tour (IPT). Team PokerStars Pro Luca Pagano now runs that not so little outfit. They will be celebrating their milestone 50th event in Malta.
