The PartyPoker Grand Prix Bratislava may have only just concluded but satellites for the Malta edition are already in the PartyPoker tournament lobby, waiting for you to turn a tiny investment into a shot at a €1 million guaranteed prize pool.
PartyPoker LIVE MILLIONS Malta runs from September 23 through October 3 at the Casino Portomaso in sunny Malta, and it is going to be incredible. The bustling schedule, which we detail in a future article, features several must-play events, including the €550 buy-in €1 million guaranteed Grand Prix Malta.
The Grand Prix Malta features two online Day 1s, one on August 6 and another on September 3. Buy in for €550 or win your way in from as little as €0.01, and you’ll enter the mix armed with a 50,000 starting stack, and play to 16-minute levels where blinds start at 100/200/25a.
Each of the Grand Prix Malta Online Day 1s allow up to two re-entries during the first eight levels, which is when late registration shuts. Play then continues until only 15% of the field remains, with that top 15% locking in a €900 min-cash. That €900 is transferred to your PartyPoker account within 24 hours of the flight finishing, so you can use it to conclude the tournament in Malta from October 1.
Satellites from €0.01 Are Available
GP Malta Online Day 1Centrolls costing €0.01 run throughout the day, and they award at least 10x €1.10 Feeder tickets. The €1.10 Feeder satellites payout €4.40 Phase 1 tickets, with those awarding €22 Phase 2 entries. Progress from Phase 2 to take a seat in the weekly Phase Final, which has no direct buy-in. The next Phase Final runs from 17:00 BST on August 6, so you must hurry if you want to get involved this week.
What to Expect From the Grand Prix Malta
The Grand Prix Bratislava concluded on July 30 after Greece’s Alexandros Dimogiorgis outlasted 1,112 opponents. Dimogiorgis clinched €102,000 of the €542,690 prize pool after a heads-up deal with Dillan Bruce, who walked away with €93,000 for his efforts.
There was a €500,000 guarantee on the Bratislava Grand Prix’s prize pool, but the one in Malta is guaranteed to weigh in at €1 million or more, so the prizes will be even bigger! You can check out the final table results from Bratislava below.

The opening two flights, Day 1a and Day 1b on September 23-24 feature an early bird special offer that sees you able to buy in for only €400 instead of €550 for the remaining flights, including those taking place online. They say the early bird catches the worm, well the early bird saves themselves €150 in this case!
