It’s nice to know that Spain keeps receiving big poker events although the economic and financial crisis seem not to leave the country this soon. There’s no info about satellites for these events, but there will be some, right? Anyone have any idea of the poker site they can be using to launch some satellites for this tour?

not sure this is gonna be a hit, as fakiry mentioned economical climate is not the best in spain atm, marocco seems like an odd place for a poker event too- anyway all the new initiatives are welcome, since i like dudes who are doing something instead of just talking, but they will not have it easy to fill the tour with players

888 have just finished a Morocco poker promo which starts next weekend at a CAsino hotel. They have also just started a promo for Valencia too. Sattelite buyins at 30c step 1 and only another step to go till you get to the final so not a bad deal overall. Dunno about CIRSA tho!

Wow this is really interesting tour, especially at 75+10 because I think will can attend a wide range of players, any kind of tournament is announced in Romania in the near future? Or Romania will remain to serve as a 3rd world country of?

I think the reasons for which these two countries were selected are pretty obvious really...
First of all in Spain after the spanish gov started to tax online poker the live events are more appreciated and Morocco simply because it's a stunning country(especially during the cold season in Europe ).
The more the merrier. I think it's really good for Spain that an event is held despite the crisis. I don't see a reason why would they have problem with finding players.
