The next stop on the 2023 888poker LIVE tour is sunny Barcelona. Beginning on May 10, the Catalonian capital hosts the latest Made to Play live poker festival. There will be nearly two weeks of action to keep poker enthusiasts engaged, but as with most of the stops on the tour, there will be plenty to see and do off the felt as well.
From May 10 through 22, 888poker LIVE Barcelona hosts the series at Casino Barcelona, and the marquee event will be the €1100 Main Event with the action kicking off on May 17 for the first of four starting flights. The final shot at Day 1 of the Main will be May 20 for the turbo Day 1D at 11 am.
There is plenty more poker on the schedule, of course. The series features a wide range of buy-ins, with the cheapest game, The Mini Shot Turbo, coming in at just €50. At the other end of the scale, the Super High Roller on May 15 is a €5300 event, so players have many choices depending on their bankroll levels.
With a median buy-in of €150 for the entire series, it will be a very affordable two weeks of poker without considering Barcelona’s healthy live satellite schedule. Satellite events start at €50, and players will have shots at various events throughout the series.
