Only good vibes at the 2025 Battle of Malta.

After an initial opening from Ioannis Souroukidis from the Cut-off, Matthew Micallef put in a raise from the Small Blind. Then, from the Big Blind, Samuel Mayet went all in for 32,000. Souroukidis then smooth-called – and so did Micallef. In other words, there was a 100,000-ish pot at stake.

Micallef and Souroukidis checked down every street of the 4♦K♠3♥3♠8♦ board.

Samuel Mayet: A♦K♦
Matthew Micallef: A♥Q♥
Ioannis Souroukidis: A♠Q♠

Mayet’s reaction couldn’t be interpreted as anything other than joyful as he scooped a crucial pot right before the break.

Samuel Mayet: 98,000
Ioannis Souroukidis: 68,000
Matthew Micallef: 44,000
