Hollywood Poker Sending Players to Barcelona

Thursday August 14, 2008

Hollywood Poker is giving its players the chance to qualify for the biggest Spanish tournament of the year.

The star-studded poker site will be running its Barcelona Online final on Sunday, Aug. 17, with numerous $15,700 Barcelona Live Main Event Packages on the line. Each package provides the $13,200 buy-in for EPT Barcelona in addition to $2,500 in travel and accommodations allowances.

The Spanish tournament, which takes place at the prestigious Casino Barcelona, runs from Sept. 10-14 with the eventual winner walking away with a truckload of Euros. Last year Denmark's Sander Lyloff took down €1,170,000 for coming in in first place.

Tournament buy-in for the Barcelona Online Final is $300+$20 but players can also work their way up the six daily satellite qualifiers, which start at just $1+20￠.

Hollywood Poker is the most celebrity-laden poker site on the Web and is part of the busy Ongame network. Hollywood Poker is one of the sites that offers Mac-compatible software; it also supports the completely automated import of Hold'em data to PokerTracker.
