Big-name pros joining her at the felt include Team PokerStars Pros Leo Margets and Luca Pagano, EPT champ Andreas Hoivold, 888poker pro Sofia Lövgren, Paul Jackson and more to be named.
“The overwhelming response to BOM 1 and BOM 2 took even us by surprise,” said PokerListings Editor-in-Chief Matt Showell.
“We knew there was a demand for a low buy-in event with all the perks of a major poker tour but we didn’t imagine it would take off so fast and create such an electric atmosphere. We’re thrilled the anticipation is already high for BOM 3 and poker players can expect an even better, fully immersive poker experience.”
Premium BOM packages are now available for just €1,395 and include:
· €550 buy-in to the Main Event
· Four nights at 5-Star Hilton Malta
· Daily breakfast and dinner buffet
· Tickets to VIP opening cocktail party and Official Battle of Malta party
The Premium Friend Package costs €1,950 and includes a second Main Event buy-in. Double accommodation is provided at no extra cost.
"A big thank you goes out to all of our sponsors,” Showell adds, “who have supported the tournament from the beginning and are irreplaceable in spreading the game of poker to a worldwide audience.
“The 2014 BOM is sponsored by 888, Betsson, Betsafe, NordicBet, Poker770, Everest Poker and PlanetWin365 and without them we couldn’t succeed. Players can win full packages to BOM 2014 with all of them and we’re truly thrilled to welcome all players, new and returning, and our amazing sponsors to Malta in November.”
