Hi all,

Just as a reminder, last Omaha High Low (format) Player's Choice Satellite running tonight! Find it easily under EVENTS - MORE - SPECIAL (also tourney #946933977). Good luck to anyone playing!

There will be more of these special ones in the weeks before EPT London.

Good luck everyone!

Cheers,

Neil

So I might use a players choice ticket for one of the omaha events. Can I go and do this at the reg desk on the day of the tourney. Or do I need to arrange this online beforehand with online support staff?

Thanks!

Bumping a number of threads with this post as I'm not sure who is reading where about the Omaha 8 questions I've received over the last year or so.

There is a €109 Omaha High Low Player's Choice Satellite tonight at 16:05 ET (21:05 BST / 22:05 CET - #939929132) for the Omaha 8 Championships during EPT11 Barcelona! There are feeders for the Sat running all day from €1.64 to €15.00.

As a reminder, EPT Season 11 is focusing on a different discipline at each stop this year. In Barcelona, the game is Omaha 8 with a €1K FLO8, PLO8 and NLO8. In London it will be €1K Mix (HORSE, 8 Game, 10 Game) and in Prague it is €1K Omaha High (FLO, PLO, NLO). The Spring Events aren't confirmed as of yet.

An additional point about the changes to "Player's Choice" Sats recently made is that no matter what discipline of poker (Holdem, Stud, Omaha) you win your "Seat" in, you can use that ticket for any tournament where Player's Choice is applicable. So if you win a seat in the Omaha 8 Sat tonight, you can still use it for a NLH Player's Choice Event. The same as when you win a NLH Player's Choice you can use that ticket to play any of the Omaha 8 Champs in Barcelona, or the other non-NLH Champs throughout the season.

Good luck tonight and if you have any questions please let us know

Hey Neil,

Got lucky and won that 109 EUR satellite - So just so it's clear, Ill be able to use the ticket for every 1K side event in Barcelona I'd like? Like event 39 for example...

I believe it is just the three O8 tournies and Estrellas Main.

You can see in the client if you look at your tournament tickets - it shows which tournaments you can use them for.

Hi all,

I don't want to derail the official event threads, so I'm just posting the links. Please keep any discussions and feedback to either of these two threads below. Thanks!

To read about the important changes for EPT Season 11, check out either of these threads (it is the same post ).

given the laptop situation last year i'd think you pretty much have to be allowed to bring a bag w you.

afaik shorts were not officially allowed last yr (?) but they let you in anyway

Wouldn't recommend going just for cash games. The cash games are run by casino Barcelona and not the ept staff. If you want to spend time waiting in insanely long lists whilst tables sit empty and floor staff try to be as unhelpful and rude as they possibly can then cash games in Casino Barcelona will be your dream. People get there at 11am and literally run down the stairs so they are top of the lists and don't have to wait hours.

I would like to know if this has been addressed ( == make certain that there are more dealers to accommodate the bigger demand for cash games)

From what I gather, the casino really don't care that much because they have the ept over a barrel. Its the only casino in the city so if they want to host the most popular ept there is zero choice of location.

Suggestion for stars. Have someone at the casino that can issue stars checks so we could cash out some of our balance (and arrange for the casino to cash them obviously).

Really, we should be able to somehow get money offline easily there for cash games through Neteller or Skrill, too. There should be some company or those companies themselves that do it.

Please if anyone knows how to get money offline in Barcelona easily via Stars/FTP or Neteller or Skrill (besides their debit cards obviously), please PM me or post here. Thanks.
