We are now down to the final table of the €3,000 Party Poker MILLIONS Malta main event and the finals just gotten underway. There’s €93,000 up top, but a lot more poker left to play before the winner will be known.  All the action can be followed on our Twitch stream, with commentary by Jason Glatzer. It will be cards up on a 30-minute delay.

The final is being contested between 4 Italians, a Swede, a Canadian, and Englishman and a Hungarian. Fabio Peluso, who holds the chip lead has been an online player for several years, but only started playing live two years ago. In that short space of time he has amassed live earnings of over $650k including a WSOPE bracelet. Party Poker Team Pro Matt Staples has made his first Party Poker Millions final table, but not his first cash in the event, as he had a 10th place finish in the Barcelona MILLIONS event last year
