The White Knight and the Dark Knight are two of the established side events that take place at every Battle of Malta festival. They are single day No Limit Hold’em tournaments which are both run on 20-minute clocks. 

The White Knight is slightly cheaper, with a €150 buy-in (€130+€20) and players start with 15,000 chips. The Dark Knight costs €200 to play (€170+€30) and the starting stack is 20,000.

Both of these are included on today’s schedule and the first of them to get going, at 3pm, is the White Knight. The players are currently limbering up, some have already drawn their swords preparing to do battle, but whose armour will still be shimmering by the end of the tournament? 

The Dark Knight begins at 6pm this evening.
