George Galea during the earlier stages of the Malta Poker Dream - battling for his share of the €400,000 prize-pool
35 players remain at the main event of the Malta Poker Dream day 4. The tournament which will continue at the 24th level later on today at 3pm. The average stack is up to 582k and our Maltese ‘Poker Knight’, George Galea is going strong holding 617k. He’s currently in 12th place as far as chip count is concerned, and the only remaining Maltese player at the main event. Supported by his family and friends, both at the tournament venue as well as on the PokerMalta site and MaltaPokerEvents facebook page, George has gone through the first 3 days of the tournament with some mild swings managing to beat the majority of his opponents and holding onto his stack with very calculated decisions and well timed actions when they counted the most.
Well at this stage, some people might argue that poker is all about luck, with a very small element of skill involved. If this were to be the case, it surely doesn’t apply for George Galea. Just to give you some background on George – apart from his numerous wins already, he also won the Malta Poker Showdown anniversary tournament at the Casino di Venezia earlier on this week, showing that skill and perseverance give great results at the felt. Apart from his own success this week-end, George seems to have spilt over success at the felt to his partner and frequent money finisher Graziella Vella, who also won €800 for placing 3rd at the Malta Poker Dream ladies tournament. Graziella achieved her placing whilst she was over-seeing George’s progress at the main event.
We’ll have our fingers crossed today as we sit through with George at the Portomaso Casino. The tournament kicks off at 3pm! Players, poker fans, and anyone who wants to follow George at the live tables is welcome to join the action. There’s only 35 players left, and Galea stands a very good chance of making it through the final stages, bringing the Malta Poker Dream trophy home this year
