Welcome to Day 1a of the 888Live Barcelona Main Event!
We're here in the stunning Catalan capital of northern Spain, Barcelona, where players will take to the felt for the first flight of the €500,000 guaranteed Main Event. With huge fields and massive top prizes in previous 888Live events in London and Rozvadov, Barcelona is expected to once again fill the tables and give players from across the world all the fun of 888Live events with the chance of bagging a major title all for just €1,000+100 entry.
Each level lasts 45 minutes on Day 1, so we expect to see plenty of players taking no time at all in pushing for an early lead. With play due to begin at 6.00pm, here are the levels players will play across Day 1a, with an hour-long after Level 6.
Day 1 Level Structure
| Level | Ante | Small Blind | Big Blind |
| 1 | 50 | 100 | |
| 2 | 75 | 150 | |
| 3 | 25 | 100 | 200 |
| 4 | 50 | 150 | 300 |
| 5 | 75 | 200 | 400 |
| 6 | 75 | 250 | 500 |
| 7 | 100 | 300 | 600 |
| 8 | 100 | 400 | 800 |
| 9 | 100 | 500 | 1,000 |
| 10 | 200 | 600 | 1,200 |
| 11 | 200 | 800 | 1,600 |
| 12 | 200 | 1,000 | 2,000 |
With unlimited re-entries until the first hand of Day 2, plenty of big names will be expected to fall out of the High Roller and into the Main Event, with 31/65 players still remaining. Catalin Pop, the defending champion from 88Live's Rozvadov Main Event, at King's Casino is still in with a chance of winning that event before taking to the felt in the Main Event.
