Welcome to Day 1c of the 2022 888poker LIVE Barcelona �1,100 Main Event
The 2022 888poker LIVE Barcelona stop is gearing up for the business end of the series, which is set to conclude on May 23, 2022 at Casino Barcelona. All eyes are set on the �1,100 Main Event, which has thus far attracted 166 entries in total. However, the biggest attendance can be expected in the final starting day with a regular level structure of 45 minutes.
As of 5pm local time, Day 1c will commence and it wouldn't be much of a surprise if the total field size will more than double as a result. All participants start with 30,000 in chips, which represents 300 big blinds in the first two levels of the day. A total of ten levels of 45 minutes each are scheduled with a break after level three and six.

Former 888poker LIVE Winners in Barcelona
Back in 2017 the 888poker LIVE tour headed to Barcelona for the first time and Luigi Shehadeh came out on top of an 609 entry strong field to claim the top prize of �110,000. In 2018, Adrian Constantin and Joel Isla Gonzalo cut a heads-up deal to secure �114,025 each and Constantin won the following duel for the trophy.
In September of the same year, local live poker veteran Sergio Alonso Camunas won the 888poker-sponsored Circuito Nacional de Poker (CNP) stop at the venue. For his efforts in the �550 Main Event, the Spaniard padded his bankroll with a payday of �70,000. Gabriele Rossi then followed in the footsteps of fellow countryman Shehadeh in 2019 to claim �110,000 after topping a field of 551 entries.
| Year | Entries | Prize Pool | Winner | Country | Top Prize |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2017 | 609 | �584,640 | Luigi Shehadeh | Italy | �110,000 |
| 2018 | 709 | �709,000 | Adrian Constantin | Romania | �114,025 |
| 2019 | 551 | �551,000 | Gabriele Rossi | Italy | �110,000 |
