Barcelona sell out: European Poker Tour launches with record turn out.

The first prize of €416,000 was won by former dentist Jan Boubli, 51, from Paris. Cheered on by a large French crowd, Jan was close to tears as he picked up the biggest tournament prize of his career.

The record EPT turn-out, which included 33 PokerStars.com qualifiers, generated a total prize pool of €1,300,000, over five times more than the 2004 tournament.

The first event of season two of the EPT featured a host of celebrities including three-time WPT winner Gus Hansen, WPT Ladies’ champion Isabelle Mercier, Dutch poker legend Marcel Lüske, Britain’s Dave ‘Devilfish’ Ulliott and Rob Hollink, winner of the 2005 EPT Monte Carlo Grand Final.

The huge crowds of poker players, many from Scandinavia, exceeded all expectations. Tournament director Thomas Kremser said:“No-one could have estimated that so many players would make their way to Barcelona for the start of the European Poker Tour. It is incredible.”

EPT founder John Duthie said: “We knew by the end of the first EPT that the tour was a massive hit, but today’s turn-out is simply extraordinary. Players were queuing up for hours to register and we still had a struggle to accommodate everyone. It’s fantastic.”[5]
