Artur Gjoka during the 2025 Battle of Malta.

From the Cut-off, Artur Gjoka opened to 7,000. Giuseppe Di Bella, seated on the Button, decided to make the call.

Both players checked the 2♣K♥T♠ flop. When the A♥ fell on the turn, Gjoka bet 10,000. Di Bella raised to 30,000, and Gjoka couldn’t have made the call any faster.

The river revealed the 3♥. Gjoka checked, and Di Bella bet 45,000. Gjoka thought the situation over before throwing in chips for a call.

Giuseppe Di Bella: 4♣3♣
Artur Gjoka: K♠T♥

Gjoka had to take a second look at the board before understanding how the hand played out. The decently sized pot went his way right before the players were sent on a break.

Artur Gjoka: 312,0000
Giuseppe Di Bella: 145,000
