The event will occur in the Casino Barcelona which is owned by Grup Peralada in Barcelona Spain. This is the fourteenth World Poker Tournament and it is to be filmed.

This collaboration between the World Poker Tournament and Grup Peralada collaboration might become the beginning of an even closer relationship that will be going forward into the future. Even at this time these two organizations are already in discussions with regard to possible future poker events in Spain and also the possibility of a Spanish tour that would include televised events appearing at Grup Peralada casinos in other places along with new ideas relating to Portugal and South America.

Steve Lipscomb who is the World Poker tournament, has characterized this partnership as a ground breaking arrangement when he said that this is a very important move for his company as it continues its expansion of its services into the European market.

This sentiment was supported by Oliver Zugel, Grup Peralada’s casino division chief, when he agreed saying that this move will generate a new standard for premium, televised European poker events in Europe along with laying the groundwork for an Iberian tour including other leading casinos that are located in Spain and Portugal.
