Five things from this week on PokerStars.
It's finally here. The ecu Poker Tour's 13th season kicked off this week in Barcelona with the Estrellas Poker Tour Main Event. On the time of writing there have been greater than 1,400 entrants, but this figure is probably going to have gone up considerably by the point you read this.
Alongside them is the €10K single re-entry event, to not be confused with the €10K single re-entry High Roller that closes off the festival. You can not tell the variation? Rather well? neither can we, but we go along with what's written at the tin and apparently, while nearly identical (the high roller is eight-handed) we're reliably informed that one is and one isn't.
This weekend the Super High Rollers gets comfortable, and with a €50K entry fee you do not get this one mixed up. Then on Monday the principle Event begins, set to crown the primary champion of the season next weekend.
All of that you could follow at the PokerStars Blog, with live updates from the key events of the festival, in addition to EPT Live coverage starting with the Super High Roller final table on Monday.
You wait ages for an important online or live festival to begin after which two come along at once, or no less than one immediately after the other.
As well because the EPT the brand new WCOOP 2016 schedule was published, with a guaranteed prize pool of $50,000,000 over the process the 82 event schedule.
The series runs from September 4-26 with the principle Event starting on Sunday, September 25 with an eye-watering $10,000,000 make sure that. makes it one of the crucial richest poker tournaments of the year.
Check out the main points at the Blog.
A modern event within the tournament lobby, and a brand new promotion to discuss this week, either one of which we've written about at the PokerStars Blog.
First there's the brand new Bubble Rush MTT. You will see greater than 20 of those each day, with buy-ins from $0.55 to $109. What are all of them about? Well, they're designed to get you into the thrill a part of a tournament (deep stacked, long levels and a guaranteed payout) in about an hour.
Before the bubble the tournament has a hyper turbo format, but once into the cash it reverts back to a typical event. A QUICK track to fun, as we called it, and costs to check every bank roll.
What's more between Monday and August 28 we're hosting a Bubble Rush Challenge. On every occasion you money in a Bubble Rush event you'll win free entry right into a $7,500 re-entry Bubble Rush freeroll tomorrow. A SNAPPY method to boost your bankroll in additional ways than one.
Just open your challenges window within the tournament lobby to look what we're talking about.
Some of these winnings might even pay for a vacation. Or failing you could win one in our new Spin & Go promotion.Make that Spin & Go on Holiday.
As we detailed this week we're giving PokerStars players a free shot at a $5,000 luxury holiday package in our new Spin & Go on Holiday

This week's featured video is set Hero Calls. I've never really managed to make one myself (what exactly do you call a failed Hero call?), but they make for one of the vital more draw dropping footage on PokerStars.tv.

The latest episode of the #EPTNotLive podcast is now available, previewing the return of the EPT season. Here is a word from the team.
"It's the Barcelona Preview Show! James and Joe sit up for the primary leg of EPT 13, detailing the large tournaments taking place, the events being streamed live to tell the tale PokerStars.tv, the #EPTLive freerolls running throughout the festival, and the changes being made to the EPT payout structure.
Liv Boeree joins the men live from Munich Airport (!), and provides her thoughts at the payout change. She also talks about what she'll be playing and getting as much as while in Barcelona, and explains why she isn't capable of enter the principle Event this year. Finally, snooker enthusiast Andy Harper tries to prove that he is an ever bigger Phil Laak fanboy than Joe on this week's edition of 'Superfan vs Stapes'. #EPTNotLive"
