European Poker Tour back in 2020
The biggest on the schedule are on the European Poker Tour. Stops in Sochi, Monte Carlo, and Barcelona offer the biggest arenas for players looking for a big payout.
Alongside the EPT Main Event in Barcelona comes the PSPC, also at Casino Barcelona. A Platinum Pass earns you a seat at this second incarnation of the PokerStars Players Championship. And they’ll be hundreds of winners to be names in 2020.
Each Platinum Pass awards free entry to the €22,500 buy-in (approx. $25,000) tournament as well as a six-night hotel stay, flights, transfer and certain expenses for the winner and a guest.
PSPC 2020 will take place at Casino Barcelona from August 20-24. Back in January 2019 the inaugural PSPC broke records as the biggest $25,000 buy-in live poker tournament in history.
Former Spanish gym owner Ramon Colillas topped a field of 1,039 players to take home $5.1 million.
Satellites
Of course, while you can buy in directly to all the events above, you can win your way to each of them in online satellites on PokerStars.
They’ll start in the weeks prior to the events above. Some are even running now (for Manila), so check out the PokerStars lobby for more details.
We’ll see you on the road.
