Following the success of the Spanish Championship on last year’s World Poker Tour, WPT Enterprises and Grup Peralada announced they are bringing the event back to the Tour schedule again this year, to be hosted by Casino Barcelona on May 21 – 27, 2008.
The event is expected to draw a field of over 400 players, including the new face of the WPT Poker Made Millionaire, Poker Pro Antonio “the Magician” Esfandiari, as he represents the worldpokertour online site at the tables.
Casino Barcelona will hold Super Satellite No Limit Hold’em (buy-in 200 EUR+20 EUR), with unlimited re-buys and add-on, starting from 3 p.m. on May 21 and May 22. Online satellites are available now at worldpokertour.com. The main event begins at Casino Barcelona on May 24 concluding with the non-televised final table on May 27.
Last October, the WPT Spanish Championship event saw 226 players from around the globe put up EUR 7,500 to compete. The field included poker pros such as Gus Hansen, Erik Seidel, Isabelle Mercier, Juha Helppi, Christer Johansson, and many others. First place went to Austrian Markus Lehmann, who won EUR 537,000 and the WPT Spanish Championship title.
If you cannot go to the event itself, you can still watch the Spanish Championship televised on June 2nd on its new channel, the Game Show Network, in the time slot immediately following High Stakes Poker on Monday night.
