European Poker Tour has come a full circle. 100th Jubilee event of EPT is back where it all started – in Barcelona, Spain. It all started yesterday, with the €50K Highroller Even,t but the €5,300 Main Event is scheduled to start tomorrow (Thursday) at noon.

Without a shadow of a doubt Barcelona will bring out many top notch players who will all gather for this big poker festivity. EPTs have always been known to gather the poker elite and this one, if anything, has a reason more to do so considering the festive nature of the event.

We’ve all waited this one with anticipation and now that it is finally here, PokerTube will do its best to bring you at least part of atmosphere from Barcelona. Nothing can really substitute being there but not everybody’s lucky enough to have the privilege.

This is why we will try to make our coverage of the event such that it combines hands from the felt and tweets from the players, so that you get not only what happens but how players experience it. It may not be the same like being there, but we’ll try to make it as close as we can get.

If rumors are to be believed, those in Barcelona are going to have a blast. There will be plenty of poker played, but PokerStars have done their best to make this jubilee an unforgettable experience away from the tables. There is plethora of interesting things being offered and a lot of them come without a price tag for participating players.

As for the Highroller, players are away for their dinner break with fifteen remaining. Those fifteen are playing for the top prize of over €1,000,000. Although most of those remaining are known players, those more famous include Dan Shak, Olivier Busquet, Daniel Colman, Sam Trickett and John Juanda.

Starting tomorrow (Thursday), you will be able to find all the important updates (and those less important, but funny) in the section devoted to EPT Barcelona. Follow the action as it unfolds and comes closer to the final table scheduled to take place on Wednesday!
