By Kelly Saxby
Live Events Main Event Travel News News

Newly Appointed PokerStars Ambassador Kerryjane Craigie is once again hosting the Malta Poker Festival Ladies First Event this Autumn 2024. And MainEventTravel.com has a VIP Package up for grabs to celebrate! 

As the Global Poker awards nominated Malta Poker Festival returns for the Autumn edition in October, so does one of the most well-known advocates of women in poker. Kerryjane Craigie, fondly known as Kj, hosts the Ladies First! Women’s event during MPF, which now boasts a whopping €10,000 GPP plus an added Main Event Entry + Accommodation Package to the Women’s Winter Festival £100k GPP Main Event taking place at the Hippodrome this November!

Kj is a one of the most passionate champions of women in poker you’ll have the pleasure to meet. On hosting the event, she shares: “Malta Poker Festival offers the perfect blend of expertly run events and Mediterranean charm. I’m thrilled to be part of it once again and can’t wait to welcome everyone back for this exciting edition!”

MPF Founder Ivonne Montealegre, echoes the sentiment, saying: “Kj’s leadership is invaluable, and her commitment to elevating women in poker is unmatched. We are thrilled to have her back for this Autumn edition and to be partnering with The Hippodrome and Pokerstars to create a satellite event during MPF so players can go to the Women’s’ Winter Festival in London."

€10K Guaranteed Prize Pool, Womens ‘ Winter Festival Festival Package, and Satellite to the event 

Ladies First!  brings with it the first ever €10,000 guaranteed prize pool, raising the stakes and drawing even more top female poker talent to Malta.Kj and other representatives of the Womens Poker Association will host a lunch prior to the start of the event. 

Ladies First! takes place Saturday 2nd November at 14:00 at Portomaso Casino Malta and features a €200 buy-in, a 25k starting stack, 25 minute-blind levels and unlimited re-entries during the first 10 levels. 

In addition to the coveted title, trophy and cash, the tournament winner will walk away with a Package to the Women’s Winter Festival supported by PokerStars at The Hippodrome in London this November that includes a £400 Main Event entry and 3 nights in London —an extraordinary bonus that further enhances the value of this unique tournament.

To top off the women’s weekend in Malta, MPF is also hosting a satellite on Sunday 3rd November into the Women’s Winter Festival in London. The satellite features a €60 buy-in, 15k starting stack, 20 minute levels and unlimited re-entries through level 8, but that’s not all! This event has 10 x £400 Women’s Winter Festival  Main Event Seats ADDED to the prize pool, this is a £4k value on top of the seats generated from buy-ins. 

This partnership between Pokerstars and MPF is unique and shows how much support Women in Poker are getting through the efforts of the two WPA board members.
