UNIBET OPEN BARCELONA 2011

The second live stop of 2011’s Unibet Open tour will see us heading to one of Europe’s greatest cities, Barcelona, from June 9th-12th, allowing all Unibet players four beautiful days on the sun-drenched coast of the Mediterranean sea, right at the height of summer. With its sandy beaches, numerous museums, famous cathedral and the Nou Camp (considered a football cathedral in its own right) there will be more than enough things for any poker player to go and see should he or she be unfortunate enough to bust out early from the Main Event.

The tournament itself will take place at the Grand Casino de Barcelona, an exquisite venue situated right on the beachfront itself. There are literally hundreds of restaurants and bars within walking distant so you can be sure you will not go hungry or thirsty on this trip! Seafood is a speciality here and poker players have a track record of enjoying their fish, clearly making this a match made in heaven!

So the question is what are you waiting for? Get cracking on qualifying for this event as it’s sure to be one of the hottest tournaments of the summer, in more ways than one (satellites available from 28th February)
