Also make sure to try the seafood on offer down the road, they have a lot of it on display, looks beautiful  Yes, went about 8 years when they had the Heads Up tournament. The fresh calamari was incred. Was that the year Jeff Kimber beat Dan Carter, or when Chubbs Nowab finished runner-up to the Scandi? Was the year Carlos Mortensen threw his weight around to keep the casino open an hour later than it should have been to finish his match without it becoming a crapshoot. My guess of 8 years ago was pretty good. It was 9! http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/event.php?a=r&n=6887Mark Banin beat Devilfish in the semi final! I asked him about that match, he was gutted he didn't get more tv time  |

Believe you can buy into all tourneys with debit card and they charge 0.75% vig. Can't see a problem with cash on the day, though there could end up being a lockout for 1b. Surely the best way is just to deposit into Stars and then direct buy in through there.
Queues may depend on how many people lost their PSLive card!
Looking forward to it. I love Barcelona!

buying in was a complete shambles last year. i don't have a problem with the PS live card, that part of the process was smooth/fine, but the casino is responsible for the cash.
i heard you can buy into all events on pokerstars and would encourage everybody to do this.

It doesn't speed anything up. I bought in online last year and actually waited longer as casino has to find you on an extra list. All Ot does is guarantee your seat. |

Thinking about going to this.
Anyone played it before?
Standard of play equivalent to UKIPT or worse?
Buyin at the venue? Or in advance?
Any other thoughts?
TIA
Magnifico El Camello. Love the place but dodgy as hell - Lawrence 'The Paperboy ' got mugged just outside casino after winning an EPT side event. |

yeah you can just leave your money inside on deposit in 500 euro increments. I would advise never carrying money outside unless you are directly going to get a taxi from right outside.

It was bad 10 years ago when I went. Ridiculous the situation is still bad all these years later. |
