Title: Barcelona terror attack (same time as PokerStars Championship) Post by: DaveShoelace on August 17, 2017, 05:02:13 PM Sad thing is that a terror attack is barely news these days because they are so common, but as it is happening at the same time and some 2km from the PokerStars Championship I thought I'd open a thread, urge people in Barca to stay indoors, let people know they are safe etc etc.
I have deffo used my one time, I would have been there today but it's my birthday at the weekend and I was double booked.
