Jakub Szczotka & Armins Daugis
Jakub Szczotka and Armins Daugis were able to turn their KKPoker x Battle of Malta tickets into cash prizes!
Poland’s Jacub has recorded live poker tournament cashes dating back to 2010 and has earned over $196,000. His poker travels have taken him to countries such as Czechia, Portugal, England, Ireland, Scotland, Spain, Cyprus, Slovakia, and of course, Malta.
Both his biggest cashes before the 2026 BOM came for US$12,000, including 2nd place in the 2024 Polish Poker Cup Winter Edition High Roller event in Bratislava.
However, after securing a spot in Malta via the KKPoker online satellites, he has unlocked a new highest cash after achieving 3rd place in the 2026 Star Yes High Roller for €21,900!
Also representing KKPoker was Armins Daugis, who hails from Latvia. In the €300 Bounty Hunter Trophy, Armins had a deep run in the 265-entry field and secured a heads-up deal for €4,040.
Congratulations to both, and all KKPoker qualifiers on their Battle of Malta experience!
