In last year’s event, local architect Pau Veciana defeated British pro David McConachie heads-up to capture the top prize of €70,000 for beating out a field of 459 entries. It was an international affair last year, with five different nationalities represented at the final table. A similar mix of players from across Europe and the world is expected to descend on the Catalan capital over the coming few days.
