Making History

Casino Barcelona's poker manager, Raúl Horta, called the April series:

"The festival with the highest guaranteed prize pool in the history of poker tournaments ever held in Europe .... a truly unique series of tournaments tailored for the most demanding players."

Those players will include Party Poker ambassadors such as Fedor Holz, Sam Trickett, Ike Haxton, Jason Koon, Roberto Romanello, Joao Simao, and site chairman Mike Sexton.

Also on the Grand Final Barcelona MILLIONS schedule are four Super High Roller events that each allow a single re-entry and all guarantee €2 million prize pools. The buy-ins vary among €25,000 (2 events), €50,000, and €100,000.

Party Poker is already running satellites to the Grand Final Main Event with qualifiers as low as half a buck. Other options include $22 Quarter-Finals and $109 Semi-Finals that feed into the weekly $1,050 Finals.

The weekly Finals guarantee ten prize packages worth $16,000 that include the €10,300 Main Event buy-in, an 8-night stay at the fabulous Hotel Arts, and $500 in walking around money. Casino Barcelona will also be hosting five super satellites that will put a minimum of 225 players in ME seats.
