Off to sunny Spain? You can with Littlewoods Poker

Author: Simon Dexter

Here’s a quiz question: what long-standing poker record was broken at last year’s WPT Spanish Championship, won by Marcus Lehmann? It’s nothing to do with unusual hands or the speed with which Lehmann claimed his Iberian crown. In fact, he could have been romping to victory when a ‘what happened next’ moment occurred.

A regular ten minute break in play was called in order that players could visit the ‘restrooms’ as our American brethren call them, but when they returned, they couldn’t play poker. This was not due to missing cards or because someone had nicked the player’s chips, but thanks to a technical problem with one of the cameras filming the event. With no replacement available, technicians decided they had to repair it before play could resume. The break ended up lasting an astonishing two hours and thirty seven minutes, the longest-ever in a major poker tourney.

Littlewoods Poker players have an opportunity to set a record of their own this season as we’re offering the chance to win a WPT Spanish Championship package worth EUR 7,000 for just EUR 6. If that doesn’t sound like a decent return on your investment, we don’t know what does.

The EUR 6 satellite tournaments take place every day of the week and we have EUR 44 + EUR 4 events every Tuesday, Friday and Saturday. The weekly finals (a EUR 350 + EUR 20 affair) take place at 22:00 UK time every Saturday.

Win one of these packages and you’ll be off to the beautiful city of Barcelona – home of Gaudi’s marvellous architecture, the most fantastic Olympic stadium, the buoyant Ramblas and, of course, the Camp Nou. Comfort breaks notwithstanding, you’ll have the chance to take in all of this and more as the event runs between 23rd –27th May.
