Alternatively, there’s also the €275 Israeli Poker Championship Tournament that I might opt to play instead. The €250 buy-in represents an affordable price point and I have a feeling that this will be a uniquely fun event to participate in. Earlier this year, the Hendon Mob announced that it would for the first time be hosting a poker tournament with its own branding at the Malta Poker Festival. I very rarely get the opportunity to play in poker tournaments, and have played in less than a handful over the last decade. In no particular order, here are the top five items on my list. Even with all those miles flown, travel for poker never gets stale, and there’s plenty that I’m looking forward to on this upcoming trip to the Mediterranean island nation. I feel very fortunate to say that this will be my sixth poker trip of 2018, after visits to Los Angeles, Las Vegas (twice), Bucharest, and Barcelona. In just a couple days, I’ll be jetting off to sunny Malta for the inaugural Malta Poker Festival, and I’ll be in attendance until November 6.
