At 12 p.m. noon local time, the second of three starting days of the Main Tour WPT Barcelona Season 2018-2019 €3,300 Main Event kicks off at the iconic Casino Barcelona, which is known as one of the major hotspots for poker with incredibly successful festivals throughout the last few years. The WPT stop with €6,000,000 in guaranteed prize pools, hosted in cooperation with partypoker, is no different as highlighted by the success of the WPT500 that attracted more than 2,700 entries in total.
Two major highlights of the schedule remain and the €3,300 Main Event with a guaranteed prize pool of €3,000,000 is certain to attract poker enthusiasts from near and far to try and become the latest WPT Champion’s club member. Another eight levels of 60 minutes each are scheduled for Day 1b with a break every two levels and a tentative dinner break, and the registration as well as single re-entry period remains available for the first four levels of Day 2.
