Level 11: 600/1,200 (1,200) Entries: 121/285 After I caught the last hand put in the blog, I started walking towards my computer to write it up. In the arena hallway, I ran into a good friend, Rasmus Lundström. Lundström, who finished fourth in the 2025 Battle of Malta Spring Edition, arrived to the casino roughly…
Level 11: 600/1,200 (1,200) Entries: 121/285 Harald Redl opened to 3,000 from UTG+1. It takes two to tango, they say, but in this case, Francesco Piro (UTG+2), Davide Iannaco (Button), Francesco D’aniello (Small Blind), and Banedickt Wenzel (Big Blind) all wanted to swing their hips. Action was checked to Piro on the flop, who dipped…

Level 10: 500/1,000 (1,000) Entries: 137/281 On an eight-handed table, Yamen Ghanem opened to 2,200 UTG. The only player who decided to make the call was Dimitrios Katsikas, who chose to defend his Big Blind. Both players decided to check the flop.

Level 10: 500/1,000 (1,000) Entries: 135/272 Action folded to Wesley Wiemens in the Cut-off, who opened to 2,200. Francisco Morren decided to defend his Big Blind.
