Malta Poker Festival VIP Package Winner Looking Forward To Trip!

Share this:

By Kelly Saxby

Live Events Main Event Travel News News

Catriona, a 35-year-old software engineer from Ireland, is overjoyed after winning a VIP package to the Autumn 2024 Malta Poker Festival Grand Event!

"I couldn't believe I've actually won it when I saw the draw last month, and I am really looking forward to playing in the tournament!" she said, thrilled at the opportunity to compete in one of Europe’s premier poker events. 

Catriona, who started playing poker in her teens for fun, has steadily progressed, with some of her best poker results so far being an online satellite win that secured her a seat in a live tournament and a recent €1000 victory!

The exclusive VIP package she won, valued at nearly €2,200, includes a 5-night stay at the luxurious 5-star Hilton Malta. It also features a €550 buy-in for the €500k GPP Grand Event, MET travel credit, a casino drinks package, and access to the "All-in" party at Club Level 22.

This won’t be her first trip to Malta, as she recently visited for The Festival Malta in September, but she’s excited to once again dive into both the poker and the island’s beauty. Aside from the poker tables, Catriona plans to explore Malta’s top sights, including Valetta, Gozo, the Blue Lagoon, and hopes to indulge in a vineyard wine tasting. 

If you’re eager to follow in Catriona’s footsteps and experience poker VIP style in Malta, you can purchase a VIP package through MainEventTravel. With the Malta Poker Festival offering a guaranteed €500,000 prize pool in the Autumn Grand Event, it’s the perfect opportunity for poker enthusiasts to book a Playcation and combine thrilling tournament action with the sun, sea, and culture of Malta!
