Last night Sascha Manns was in the zone. He was super focused throughout the €250 8-Game and ended up taking second place for a payout of €3,355. He was beaten heads up by Nikolas Bokowski in the early hours of the morning and just a few hours later they both returned for the final day of the Mixed Main Event, with a H.O.R.S.E.S format.
Manns will be determined to get that winners trophy this time and Bokowski will be going for his second. If either of them makes it deep they will be strong contenders for Player of the Series, hoping to pick up a €1,600 package to The Festival Series in Malta. Manns used to be a resident of the small Mediterranean island (which I have also called home for the last decade) and will savour a chance to return to his old stomping ground, where he is considered a local within the Maltese poker community.
There is another fully fledged Maltese player still in the H.O.R.S.E.S as well, possibly the best known Maltese player on the scene. That player is the very likeable and jovial Antoine Degiorgio, who drives the mixed games poker scene in Melaland (only Maltese residents and frequent visitors will get this joke, sorry).
Best of luck to all riders today, they still have a long way to go, with several more laps of the track to complete before the winning line will come into view.
