Stavros Passias
Another massive day of poker action went down at Casino Malta on June 1, as the Battle of Malta 2026 Summer Edition continued apace, with the Main Event field reduced to 24 players, four side-event trophies awarded, and the Novibet Cuatro PKO getting underway.
Stavros Passias of Greece (10,760,000) leads Italian duo Angelo Censabella (8,880,000) and Daniele Renzi (7,340,000) heading into the penultimate day of the Main Event, with the huge sum of €176,070 awaiting the champion.
In the side-events, Fabian Wolf of Germany banked the chunky first-place prize of €46,180 in the €1,100 Star Yes High Roller, Michal Krzyminski of Poland took the €300 Bounty Hunter trophy (€4,255) after a heads-up deal with Armins Daugis, while German Sascha Manns locked up the Beer Poker Tour event title (€6,920), and Yamen Ghamen of Israel won the €150 Hyper Turbo (€3,700), again after a heads-up deal. In the Novibet Cuatro PKO, Marius Negrescu of Romania leads 54 qualifiers for the final day, who will return at 3 p.m. on June 2.
Another sumptuous day of poker action awaits, as the €400 Malta Championship and €2,200 Super High Roller take prime position among the side-events offered today.
€600 Main Event Day 3 Recap
Only 75 players returned for the third day of combat, led by Ugnius Vestertas of Lithuania, and with all players having guaranteed a minimum €2,000 payday. The knockouts came thick and fast, with Roar Aspas and Matiss Celmins among those to exit quickly.
Vestertas would ultimately hit the rail in 26th, and by halfway through the day, Censabella had soared to the top of the standings, and was joined by Passias by the conclusion of the flight. Players such as Theodoros Ampelikiotis, Erland Kalstad and Marko Grujic fell towards the end of play.

Angelo Censabella
Florence Mazet (3,375,00) is the last woman standing, while Mark Vella (4,215,000) is the final home hope still in the mix, while there are three Greeks and five Italians represented in the penultimate day.
