After seven days of scintillating action at the beautiful Portomaso Casino, the 2022 Spring Malta Poker Festival Spring Grand Event winner has been crowned. The Dutch professional poker player and respected poker coach Daniel Lakerveld triumphed in the crown jewel of the MPF for €71,000.
It took over ten hours for play to conclude when Lakerveld defeated Hungarian Simon György heads-up to outlast 1,014 players, which generated a prize pool of €486,720. Lakerveld and György both held trip fives in the last hand of the night but the Dutchman's ace outkicked György's king.
