PokerStars Championship

With the PokerStars Championship events in the Bahamas, Panama, Macau and Monte Carlo on the books, and PokerStars Championship Sochi currently underway, PokerStars today announced some more details about the tour's inaugural year.

The PokerStars Championship Barcelona has been featured on the website ever since the inception of the tour, but now details about the guarantees have emerged. On top of that, PokerStars today officially announced the PokerStars Championship Prague.

PokerStars Championship Barcelona

The Barcelona leg of the PokerStars Championship has been a fixture on the schedule ever since the tour was announced late last year. The Barcelona stop of the European Poker Tour has always been one of the most popular ones, and few people doubted the event would return as part of the new tour.

The PokerStars Championship Barcelona runs Aug. 15 through 27, with a slate of big events. Today, the world's biggest online poker site announced guarantees for the PokerStars National Championship, the PokerStars National High Roller, the PokerStars Championship Main Event and the PokerStars Open.

The biggest guarantee, �7,000,000, is reserved for the �5,300 buy-in Main Event. If recent years are any indication, it's unlikely PokerStars will have to add something to the prize pool.

Last year, when Polish player Sebastian Malec took down the event for �1,122,800, the 1,785 unique players made for a total prize pool of �8,657,250.

In total, Europe's biggest poker festival has a combined guaranteed prize pool of �13.1 million. More information about the event can be found on pokerstarslive.com/championship/events/barcelona/, the full PokerStars Championship Barcelona schedule can be found here.
