Round up of latest results

The big news from the weekend focused on events in Malta. In what proved to be a speedy final table, Niall Farrell won a first prize of €534,330 in the main event, after a heads-up deal with second placed Alen Bilic.

It proved something of a thriller, and not just for the tempo, with the likes of Daniel Dvoress and Sam Greenwood, regular high rollers, reaching the last six. Read the full report on the PokerStars Blog.

That left the High Roller event to conclude the EPT Malta festival, won by Byron Kaverman. As Marc Convey reported for the Blog, Kaverman is a player who never accepts he's beaten, coming back from the brink to defeat Mukul Pahuka heads-up.

Last but not least the Sunday Warm up was won by Belgium's donalddrik for a first prize of $79,790. Check out David Aydt's report here.
