Malta Poker Festival Useful Stepping-Stone for Recreational Players

The 2022 Malta Poker Festival (MPF) is fast approaching, getting underway on April 25 at the wonderful Portomaso Casino, Malta. The series, established in 2018, is the brainchild of Ivonne Montealegre and is catered toward recreational and aspiring poker players.

Originally a licensed psychologist, Montealegre swapped the sofa for the sportsbook and has never looked back, having over 20 years experience working in live poker. PokerNews recently caught up with Montealegre to get the scoop on this year's MPF.

Love of Poker Dominates MPF

The MPF has often been praised for its grassroots feel and sense of community the series brings and that is down to Montealegre and her team putting players first, always.
