“Ivonne Montealegre is a passionate woman who pours her heart + soul into the The Malta Poker Festival. She also takes no prisoners so when I was ushered to her office last Friday, it felt a bit like I was being sent to the principal’s office.”

89th out of a record breaking field of 1460 players in the The Malta Poker Festival main event. Super happy with the result considering I had 10BBs at start of day 2 with 218 still in field and managed several pay jumps. Great event!
I will take it down next time! See you then Malta! ❤️
