The ninth season of the tournament European Poker Tour (EPT) has well and truly begun. Indeed, fans of this poker circuit joined the city of Barcelona, Spain to attend the inaugural stage of the new season. A great poker festival begins so because the casino of Barcelona is also the host institution of the Estrellas Poker Tour. Thus, on Wednesday, a Super Satellite Main Event qualifier for this tournament, accessible for 165 buy-in will take place in the poker room of the casino from 7:00 pm. In the other hand, the 5,300 main event of the EPT Barcelona will run from August 19 to 25. Last year the event attracted 811 players generating a huge prize pool of 4,055,000. Players and observers are waiting whether the same success will be registered or not this year.
Several events with various buy-in will be held during this visit that the most important is the head's up championship of 10,300 to be held in three days. The kick-off of this event will be held on August 22 and the field will be limited to 64 participants. There will also be a pot-limit Omaha tournament of 1,100, a ladies tournament of 550, more satellites, bounty tournaments and heads up. But the most awaited event by fans is the first high roller of the season accessible for 50,000 buy-in. It will be held from August 17 to 19 and will be broadcast on television. On August 18, the high roller of the Estrellas Poker Tour of the 1,850 + 150 will be in the program.
