Henrik Juncker The 2022 Unibet Open Malta €1,100 Main Event has crowned a winner at the five-star Intercontinental Hotel in St Julian’s . Out of a field of 359 entries, Denmark’s Henrik Juncker claimed the lion’s share of the €359,000 prize pool after he defeated Mats Karlsson in an all-Scandinavian duel for the title.
Juncker entered the final table, in which the nine contenders represented nine different countries, third in chips. The Dane quickly assumed control with his aggressive playing style to dominate the action and earned the top prize of €75,000 after a short but topsy-turvy battle with Karlsson.
The 15th anniversary edition of the popular mid-stakes tour headed to the Mediterranean island for the fifth time and set a new attendance record for the island stop. Tournaments took place in the Convention Center of the hotel, while cash games ran in the adjacent Casino Malta situated in the same venue. It was the second record turnout for the operator in the current year as the Unibet Poker Belgian Championship at Casino Blankenberge also exceeded all expectations.
More than 100 players had gained their entry through the online Unibet Poker platform, ensuring a very recreational field. Besides the poker action during the five-day series with five-star accommodation, the brand also provided the usual fun activities and parties to bring back the usual jovial atmosphere for which it is widely known.
Nataly Sopacuaperu , Unibet Open’s Head of Events, was certainly happy with the outcome of the first live edition of a Unibet Open stop in more than two and a half years: “It is great to be back after such a long break of over 2 years. We are grateful to see that the players have found their way back to our tables from all over Europe and even beyond. The numbers speak for themselves however it doesn’t say anything about the amazing vibe in the tournament area. We are back!” 2022 Unibet Open Malta €1,100 Main Event Final Table Results
