The €200,000 guaranteed PokerListings Battle of Malta tournament will be attended by some of the biggest poker names in the world. The Dudesons and Puma Swede will also be in the hunt for a slice of the prize money.

The Dudesons are ready for battle!

Jukka Hilden, Jarno "Jarppi" Leppälä, Hannu-Pekka "HP" Parviainen and Jarno Laasale - collectively known as The Dudesons - are "four dudes from the arctic circle" best known for performing extreme stunts and comedic pranks on their numerous reality shows, including The Dudesons in America on MTV. The group often battled Johnny Knoxville's Jackass crew and also appeared on Bam Margera's Viva La Bam and the hit movie Jackass 3D. The hard-partying Finns are no strangers to the game of poker and will certainly be the wildcards of the event.

Puma Swede looking to shock the poker world!

Award-winning adult star Puma Swede should fit right into the VIP poker experience, as she's accustomed to living the fast-paced lifestyles of Hollywood and Las Vegas. The Finnish-born Puma recently released her first book My Life as a Pornstar to rave reviews and will enter the poker tournament on a high note.

Don't be surprised if you see a Finn or two at this year's final table. The question is: with The Dudesons and Puma Swede in attendance, will Malta ever be the same again?
