After the craziness of yesterday's Beer Pong Open when over a hundred teams competed for the title, tonight the atmosphere is changed slightly, with a combo of giant paella and Catalan rumba rhythms.
With the help of DJ Honney, the atmosphere will be transformed so although the weather today might be a little rainy, some sunny rhythms will brighten up everyone's evenings!

Lewis finished eighth in the WSOP Player of the Year leaderboard last year, and is the number four French player in the world according to the Global Poker Index.
