€ 500.000 hat 888 beim 888live Barcelona Festival Main Event garantiert. Nach den Starttagen stehen aber schon 610 Entries beim € 1.100 No Limit Hold’em Turnier zu Buche und die Late Reg ist noch möglich. Das Opening Event am letzten Wochenende war schon sehr erfolgreich, das Main Event aber übertrifft doch die Erwartungen. Die Garantiesumme ist bereits klar übertroffen und mit der Late Reg wird es auf jeden Fall nicht nur ein grandioser Erfolg für 888poker, sondern auch ein neuer Teilnehmerrekord.
Drei Starttage wurden angeboten, wobei schon Tag 1A mit 104 Entries gut besucht war. An Tag 1B waren mit 171 Entries ein paar mehr am Start, während dann an Tag 1C gleich 325 Entries an die Tische stürmten. Viele bekannte Gesichter hatten sich in Barcelona eingefunden, darunter auch die 888poker Botschafter Natalie Hof, Kara Scott und Sofia Lövgren, auch Michal Mizrachi, Patrik Antonius, Will Kassouf oder auch Alec Torelli waren als Promis am Start. Einige deutschsprachige Spieler waren ebenfalls am Start und konnten sich zum Teil auch gut in Tag 2 spielen. Unter anderem haben es Sasa Lalos, Sebastian Langrock, Felix Osterland, Sascha Ranzinger Leon Tran, Felix Osterland und einige mehr in Tag 2 geschafft. Den Chiplead hat Lucia Martinez mit 268.800 knapp vor Terje Sirenes. Alec Torellil liegt auf Rang 4, auch Will Kassouf konnte sich mit Rang 12 eine sehr gute Ausgangsposition schaffen.
Mindestens 197 Spieler gehen heute in Tag 2, der bei den Blinds 1200/2400, Ante 300 beginnt. Die Coverage zum Event könnt Ihr unter pokernews.com mitlesen.
