Interesting EPT Barcelona Facts

It’s been on the EPT schedule since Season 1, and in fact was the first ever event.
No Spaniard has ever won the title. The closest to do so was Dragan Kostic and Jesus Cortes Lizano, who both finished as runner-up in Season 8 and Season 7 respectively.
No player has ever made the final table twice.
Many Americans have made the final table over the years including Phil Ivey (2nd in Season 3), Jason Mercier (6th in Season 5) and Adam Junglen (6th in Season 4), but Carter Phillips was the only American to win the event, doing so in Season 6 after conquering a field of 479 players for €850,000.
There have been two winners from Sweden (Season 1 & 7) and two from Germany (Seasons 5 & 8); while the other winners have hailed from France (Season 2), Norway (Season 3), Denmark (Season 4) and United States (Season 6).

Thanks to our colleague, Chad Hollaway, for these facts.
