Two of today’s side events are now well in progress and the Dark Knight has just begun. It’s been a regular fixture at the Battle of Malta for many years and this is the second running of the caped hero’s favourite poker tournament at the Spring Edition.

There were 17 players in their seats at the start and late registration is open until 8.35pm for latecomers.

Today’s PLO has 16 runners so far and is now in the 6th level, with two levels left for late entry.

The earlier starting MAS NLH is now up to 125 entrants with 25 minutes left for late registration and 64 players still in.

There is just one more side event left to begin, the €150 Hyperturbo at 9pm.
