This looks like it is going to be a fantastic 12 days of poker in a beautiful city. Just to go to Barcelona would be a treat but to go there and play poker must be amazing. Good luck to all

Good event, many poker stars, sorry that you can not participate, it is very difficult to get to barcelona, the costs are very high, it will be another time. Luck to the participants.

888Live Barcelona Festival will be an awesome event for aspiring poker players from all over the world. William Kassouf... Is this the guy who made a deep run at the 2016 World Series of Poker Main Event?
I would certainly really like to go to barcelona and play poker with the best players but it's very difficult to do .... wishing to go to this sunny city probably as many players and all try to get to this event

888 are still advertising winning tickets to this event from 0.01c . Takes a lot of luck and hard work to achieve this but no doubt there will be one or two,players at the event who have gained entry through micro stakes satellites. Give it a go, you just never know your luck. It only takes a couple,of tourney wins to get there!

One thing these players are not gonna see is the city of Barcelona since they will be spending most of their times in the casino anway.

Great even of live poker in a great city of barcelona, super vacation if you get a qualification with $0.01 satellite. And if you win some money from the tournament it is a vacation where you are paid to have a good time and relax in Barcelona

lot of new names and lot of them from last WSOP!I have on t-com,max tv to go,so can watch tv on mobile phone or laptop and there I have arena sport tv,6 sport channels and they have poker shows every night!and ofcourse this last WSOP and I first time heard about this kassouf!that man isnt normal,he talk and talk,even he is not in hand!I knwo that nobody wanted to shake hand with him,when he was out at WSOP!he was in maybe first 20 player,cant remember his place!but he is so annoying when he is in hand!
The attempt to get to a tournament of this scale through the satellites is certainly good for the players .... but it's very difficult ... too many people want it.... many people

well that's a great reasoning from Mober on who those dudes and dudettes are... "One unknown person wasnt enough, so they got a bunch of them", truly magnificent strategy 888 have came up with, to appoint unknown people as ambassadors of the brand...

This whole ambassador thing is a pile of $hit if you ask me, most of these people turn me off from poker anyway and not the other way around.

That sounds great and it was verry nice that not only Stars offers like great live poker series like in the last years. 888Poker promoted nice tourneys, the WSOP last year and now this interesting event in Barcelona.
