The EPT Malta Main Event is in full swing, but before getting to this point, dozens of other players won "Spadies" in the long list of side events. In case you didn't know, the EPT Malta is playing host to 69 events total, more than any other EPT festival in history.

Urbanovich Captures 2nd, then 3rd, Titles of EPT Malta Festival

Dzmitry Urbanovich, the �25,000 High Roller champ, took down his second tourney of the EPT Malta Poker Festival, the �1k NL Deepstack Turbo Big Ante for �35,200. While waiting for his winner pic to be taken, Urbanovich was busy playing the PokerStars Sunday Million on his iPad. Urbanovich is also a man who, after winning �572,300 in the High Roller, entered a �500 buy-in event and made the final table.

There were 156 players in the Deepstack Turbo Big Ante creating a �151,320 prize pool with 22 paid. Frenchman Massou Cohen seemed pretty happy with his second place finish; EPT Deauville champion Ognyan Dimov min-cashed the event for �1,750.

As if that wasn't enough, less than an hour ago the youngster from Poland captured his third title (and he hasn't even entered the Main Event yet.

Here's how PokerStars officials described his most recent victory:

Last night, after official EPT photographer Neil Stoddart had finished taking Dzmitry Urbanovich��s second winner pic of the festival, the 19-year-old Pole said: ��See you soon!�� Well ��soon�� has turned out to be the very next day as Urbanovich has just beaten Jack Salter heads-up to win today��s �5,000 NL Turbo for �110,000. This is now the third EPT trophy that Urbanovich has picked up at the EPT Malta Poker Festival and it��s still only Day 1b!

Urbanovich started his incredible performance by defeating some of the best players in the world in the special �25,000 High Roller for �572,300. A relatively early finish in that last on Friday meant he had to time to enter the �500 Midnight Turbo �C he made the final. Yesterday he won the �1,000 NL Deepstack Turbo Big Ante for �35,200 and just now he banked another �110,000 for winning the �5,000 NL Turbo. You might think it was about time Urbanovich thought about entering the Main Event �C but no, he��s going to play the �2,000 NL Turbo first �C that started a couple of hours ago and he was impatient to get in to it.
