Eloy Cabacas – Rational Intellectual Holdings Ltd PokerStars recently tested a new tournament format, bringing its popular online Spin & Go innovation to the live poker scene at the EPT Barcelona festival.
The first-ever live MTT Spin & Go event took place on August 26 and 27, featuring 27 invited players, primarily from Spain and Italy — two key markets where Spin & Go tournaments are especially popular. A couple of participants from Portugal also joined the exclusive event.
We are aiming to provide Spin and Go regulars with opportunities for visibility and recognition within the poker community.
The format closely followed the online jackpot sit & go structure (called PokerStars Spin & Go) , with the event set up as 3-handed Hyper Turbo Sit & Go games. The 27 players were divided into nine tables, with the tournament progressing through three phases: the First Heat, Second Heat, and Final Heat. In the opening phase, players at each table competed in multiple games, with the table concluding when one player won five games. 2024 North American Poker Tour Win Your Way to NAPT with
