WPT - Spanish Championship


Why the WPT decided not to televise their recent event, the Spanish Championship, which ended on Tuesday at the Casino Barcelona, remains a mystery. It was a high class tournament – 253 entrants paying €5000 and contributing to a prize pool of $1,993,071 – in one of the world’s most attractive cities but it didn’t warrant a TV crew.

We can only think that the guys that operate mics and cameras couldn’t be bothered to haul their arses over the Atlantic and experience some culture. Either that or we are underestimating the amount of detailed preparation it takes before they are ready to film the audience at the Bellagio Cup IV in July.

For those who have been deprived of the telegenic appearance of poker’s finest, you can rely on us to keep your brow furrow-free. Think of us as the Oil of Ulay of gaming news – stay with us and you WILL have DRAMATICALLY younger-looking skin.
