EPT Barcelona thread

[TightEnd]

The site says:

It’s all change for EPT Barcelona in Season 7. The traditional EPT season “opener” has been rescheduled for a few months later – from November 22 -27, 2010 - and the buy-in is now €5,300. The EPT is also thrilled to announce that the whole event will now be taking place in an annexe of the Gran Casino at the Arts Hotel giving the event more room than ever before.

Last season’s event was a spectacular success with 478 players creating a total prize pool of €3,382,000. American Carter Phillips, who actually qualified for the event twice on PokerStars, scooped the massive €850,000 first prize after beating British veteran Marc Goodwin.

Both players were a dominant force throughout the event and, for spectators, the tense three-hour heads-up appeared to be a clear-cut battle between the online and live worlds. However, although Phillips had only had a few major cashes before Barcelona, he went on to cash twice more in Season 6 including 12th place in the PCA High Roller while Goodwin was already known as a highly successful online cash game player.

Ha! Actually, you'll notice a horrible moustache on Mr Bartley's top lip. He's taking a huge amount of stick about it in Barcelona, but it's all in a good cause. Please read this post and make a little donation if you can...
