It’s back! The popular European Poker Tour Barcelona event kicks off next week with ten Platinum Passes up for grabs – along with mouth-watering prize pools in dozens of tournaments from August 21 to September 2.
MainEventTravel has dozens of great hotel options for EPT Barcelona including the luxury Hotel Arts where the event is being held, the Ibis, Villa Olimpic and the Poblenou Travelodge.
This is the first EPT in Barcelona for several years although PokerStars has never missed a stop in the Catalan capital since the European Poker Tour first came here in 2004. Last year Sebastian Sorensson, a 27-year-old warehouse worker from Sweden, won the PokerStars Championship Barcelona Main Event for €987,043 after outlasting a 1,682-player field in the Main Event. Overall, there were more than 21,000 entries including PokerStars’ biggest ever live tournament at the time: the National Championship which had 4,557 entries.
Key events for EPT Barcelona 2018:
Platinum Passes
During EPT Barcelona, PokerStars will be awarding ten Platinum Pass packages to the PokerStars Players NL Hold’em Championship in the Bahamas next January.
