EPT Barcelona
Stunning beaches. Vibrant nightlife. World-class cuisine. Legendary poker. Barcelona has been the perfect location for the European Poker Tour for over 20 years.

It goes without saying the live action will be off the charts, from nail-biting showdowns between the world’s greatest players to unpredictable draws on the river.
