World Poker Tour Spanish Championship underway in Barcelona with record fieldThe World Poker Tour Spanish Championship, underway at Gran Casino, Barcelona, attracted a turnout of 326 players ⎯ the highest ever for the event.

The €3,200 + €300 buy in tournament generated a prize pool of just over €1 million and the winner will lift €315,000 plus a seat into the 2011 WPT World Championship event.

Adam Pliska, WPT president said, “Casino Barcelona has been an incredible partner – from player and partner servicing to tournament staff, their dedication to every detail is second to none. They put on a great tournament and deserve the turnout they have got.

With great numbers for the €10,000 buy-in WPT Grand Prix de Paris at the Aviation Club and now a great field at Casino Barcelona the future is bright for the World Poker Tour stops in Europe.”

Last year American Mark Flowers topped the 160-strong field.
