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.

Ghastly news. These things always hit home more when we have been to the place, & of course many of us have, several times.

There is a blonde actually staying at a hotel in Las Ramblas today, he has a Staking Thread, here;

Things crazy here..I've been in constant touch with Grant (ZZZ ROPE TODAY)  as he is actually in Las Ramblas

He had sent me a horrific photo in real time at 5.10pm from his hotel window as it had just happened. The place  is  still manic with traffic backed up and blue lights  everywhere.

Latest Local news saying at least 13 dead and 80 injured and there has just been a shoot out with two police officers and they have shot a guy dead ( they claim he is Moroccan but could be stolen i d  .The casino is approx 2 miles away and is absolutely  packed with an alternates list of 400 so long they shut registration for the 1100 euro till tommorow. ..needless to say the sub terrean poker continued amongst all the madness upstairs

A bit surreal..Hopefully the worst is over
