CoinPoker’s Battle of Malta Online series is underway, and the opening stretch of the $30 million festival has already produced its first major champions.
Following a headline-grabbing first weekend built around the $1,000,000 guaranteed CoinMillion, the series continues with a run of flagship tournaments, physical trophies, and 100 live packages to the Battle of Malta Autumn Edition still up for grabs.
CoinMillion Headlines CoinPoker’s Opening Week
The $215 buy-in CoinMillion wrapped up the opening week of Battle of Malta Online, delivering the largest prize pool of the series so far.
A player going by “monc” came out on top of the $1,000,000 guaranteed field to take home a first-place prize of $121,500, along with a physical Battle of Malta Online trophy and a matching digital version for their CoinPoker Trophy Cabinet.
The final table produced plenty of drama before that outcome was settled.
🏆 We Have A New CoinMillion Champion!
Congratulations to monc, who takes home $121,500 after an incredible run through the field!

Several other players walked away with significant paydays from the CoinMillion field:
- 1st: monc – $121,500.00
- 2nd: n7v7rcapp7d – $77,100.00
- 3rd: JohnnieTsunami – $55,800.00
- 4th: IdiOtsudaDavai – $40,600.00
- 5th: LappyPoker7 – $29,800.00
A deal was floated late in the tournament but turned down, and shortly after the request was rejected, JohnnieTsunami was eliminated. Given the tournament’s reception here and during World Poker Masters, a CoinPoker spokesperson indicated CoinMillion could become a recurring fixture on the platform’s calendar going forward.
The opening week also saw “shipitplz” take down the $55 buy-in Mini CoinMillion for $20,000, while other players have been using satellite paths to lock in seats for the bigger events still to come later in the schedule, including the Main Event.
More Champions Crowned Early In Battle Of Malta Online
CoinMillion produced the biggest single storyline, but it wasn’t the only title decided in the festival’s early days. Other winners so far include “agarrolaocho,” who took the Valletta 8-Max for $39,002.46, “Vorr,” who claimed the $150 CoinMasters Bitcoin title for $39,764.14, and “BAAAAMBINOOOO,” who won the $320 Dark Knight PKO for $18,341.63.

CoinPoker has been publishing winner interviews and final-hand replays throughout the series on its X channel, giving fans a way to follow along as new champions are crowned. A full breakdown of results by event is also available directly on the platform through the Battle of Malta tab’s Event Winners section.
What’s Still Ahead In CoinPoker’s $30 Million Festival
Several of the series’ biggest tournaments are still to come before Battle of Malta Online wraps up.
Players have already begun winning live packages to the Battle of Malta Autumn Edition through the Champions Trials leaderboard promotion, which awards tickets to a multi-stage live tournament simply by entering events each week. CoinPoker plans to hand out 50 more of these packages before the online series concludes. The live Battle of Malta Series itself runs from October 27 to November 4 with a $2,000,000 guarantee.

Main Event: $2,500,000 Guaranteed
The festival’s flagship event is the $565 buy-in Main Event, guaranteeing $2,500,000. Day 1 flights run at 17:30 UTC throughout the week leading into a Day 2 finale on August 3, and $55 satellites remain available for players looking for a cheaper route in. The eventual winner receives a unique physical trophy distinct from the rest of the series’ awards.
Main Challenger And Main Crusader
Value-focused players still have access to the $55 Main Challenger, which carries a $500,000 guarantee, one of the strongest guarantee-to-buy-in ratios anywhere in the festival. The $11 Main Crusader runs alongside it with a $100,000 guarantee for an even lower entry point. Both events run daily Day 1 flights at 17:30 UTC.
CoinMasters BTC High Roller
High-stakes players can target the $1,500 CoinMasters BTC High Roller, part of CoinPoker’s long-running CoinMasters series, with a $1,000,000 guarantee. Days 1A and 1B have already been played, with 1C and 1D still to come before the winner picks up a gold-plated CoinMasters coin and a physical trophy delivered to their door.
The Iron Throne
The $5,200 Iron Throne returns as one of the series’ most prestigious high-roller titles, with a $400,000 guarantee across a two-day format running July 26 and 27.
Regs Of The Round Table
The $530 Regs of the Round Table, with a $200,000 guarantee, is expected to draw a number of recognizable poker names, potentially including Bencb, Kelvin Kerber, Jeremy Ausmus, Patrick Leonard, and other CoinPoker ambassadors. Lower buy-in versions at $55 and $11 run alongside it with $75,000 and $20,000 guarantees respectively, and all three award trophies to their winners.
How To Get Involved In CoinPoker’s Battle Of Malta Online
Beyond the prize money, CoinPoker is offering plenty of ways for players to stay involved in the festival, from physical and digital trophy events to Champions Trials packages for the live Autumn Edition, all backed by daily satellites into the series’ biggest tournaments.
With the $2,500,000 Main Event, $1,000,000 CoinMasters BTC High Roller, $500,000 Main Challenger, and $400,000 Iron Throne all still on the calendar, the biggest results of Battle of Malta Online are still to come.
New CoinPoker players can also claim a 150% welcome bonus worth up to $2,000 on deposits of $10 or more, part of the platform’s broader CoinRewards program that includes CoinRaces, Splash Pots, and other ongoing promotions.
