At 6 p.m. local time, poker enthusiasts from near and far will head to one of the hotbeds of poker in Europe, the Casino Barcelona. For more than a decade, some of the biggest poker festivals have taken place right next to the beach and the 2019 888poker LIVE Barcelona Festival will join the list of highly popular events in the Spanish metropolis and major tourist destination.

The festival already kicked off on May 23rd and the flagship event awaits with the �1,100 Main Event. A total of three starting days provide players plenty of opportunities to take a shot at the guaranteed prize pool of �550,000. The registration remains open throughout the first 12 levels of 45 minutes each and until the cards are back in the air for Day 2. All participants receive 30,000 in chips and unlimited re-entries can be purchased during the registration period.

Back in 2018, the festival set new records with more than 20 events and 5,144 entries took part. The 2019 edition provides more than �1,000,000 in guaranteed prize pools and all eyes will be set on the Main Event trophy. Who will follow into the footsteps of Romania's Adrian Costin Constantin, who came out on top of a field of 709 entries?

On the way to victory, Constantin also topped the defending champion back then, as Luigi Shehadeh made back-to-back final tables and narrowly missed out on a second 888poker LIVE Main Event trophy. Whether or not Constantin and Shehadeh will join the action again remains to be seen and you can follow all the action right here on PokerNews!

The �2,200 High Roller is in full swing as the registration has closed at the start of Day 2 and several 888poker ambassadors are in action in the secondary tournament area of Casino Barcelona. Among them are Ana Marquez, Chris Moorman and Vivian Saliba, with several other notables in contention.
