The WPT Spanish Championship will be hosted by the Casino Barcelona and there is a buzz about this event. Any new site for the WPT brings out the best players, and very few of the top pros will pass on a city like Barcelona.

The European Poker Tour will make a stop in Austria early this month when the EPT Baden Classic kicks off on Oct 7th. It’s the third event of the season for the EPT and the €8000 ($10,488 + $552) to enter is bound to attract the world’s best poker players.

Casino Baden will host the event, which will give the winner a seat in the Season Four EPT finale plus the cash prizes.
