Welcome to the €10,300 EPT High Roller to round out the PokerStars European Poker Tour Barcelona festival. After a week of Super High Rollers and Single Day High Rollers, this particular High Roller is steeped in history and is one that any poker player would be delighted to win.

From just 36 players back in 2010, it has steadily increased to regularly attract more than 400 entries, with last year's field of 439 players topped by Max Silver, who defeated Norbert Szecsi heads-up to win €600,924 after a three-way deal with the Hungarian and third-place finisher Joris Ruijs.
