The First Main Event of Season 10 On the EPT
Welcome to the first Main Event of Season 10 on the PokerStars.com European Poker Tour. The PokerNews live reporting team is here in Barcelona to bring you all the action from the felt for what plans to be a very, very massive event. Barcelona has been a stop on the EPT every season since the tour's inception, getting better and better every year.
Last year, Mikalai Pobal defeated a field of 1,082 entries to earn €1,007,550. That's both a massive number of entries and amount for first place, but the stars seem to be aligning for an even bigger event this time around. All of the events here at the Barcelona festival have been huge, with jam-packed tournament rooms and mile-long registration lines. One can only expect much more today for Day 1a of the €5,300 Main Event.
There will be plenty of big names in the mix, including Team PokerStars Pros, online qualifiers, and other top international players. The cards will be in the air at 12 p.m. local time, so prepare yourself for a great day of action from the felt. PokerNews will have all your live updates right here, so saddle up and enjoy the show.
You can also check out PokerNews' coverage of the €50,000 Super High Roller event. The field was down to eight players after Day 2 with over €770,000 to the winner. WIth only seven spots paying, a very big bubble will be in effect right from the get go.
