April 8, 2025
After roughly eight hours of play, Day 4 of the 2025 Battle of Malta Main Event came to an end. It was an absolutely thrilling day, which started with a few short stacks busting during the earlier stages, followed by some thrilling hands that saw many chips trading owners. Let’s take a look at what played out during play today.
Ziemichod did Great
Emanuele Pandetta was the first player to bust out from Day 4, and from that moment, the action escalated quickly. One of the players who was very active today was Adrian Ziemichod. He eliminated Alessandro Siena in brutal fashion, and from there on, he was on a mission to collect as many chips as humanly possible. He booked the chip lead during the first break and never looked back; perhaps the highlight of his day was when he turned a royal straight flush and even got value from it.
Adrian Ziemichod will enter the final table as the chipleader with 21,300,000 in chips.
Another player who won some crucial pots during the day was Finland’s Rasmus Lundström. Hitting a straight on the river, he won one of the biggest pots of the tournament and earned himself great presumptions maneuvering the table. Lundström was also the one to put an end to Day 4 when his rivered straight cracked Gabriele Carro’s aces and brought the number of players down to eight.
Rasmus Lundström.
