“(1) Off to EPT Barcelona with @natashabarbour and my parents! My favorite stop of the year! Let’s goooooo!!! (2) Busted 50k super high roller. Grinded a short stack for 4 hours. Eventually got in TT vs AK to bust with 35 players left. Main event 2moro.”
Shaun Deeb
“Almost missed registration due to hotel being so far backed up apologies to my table. I tried to shower before coming but couldn’t get my bag.”
Daniel Negreanu
“(1) Not sure I’m going to be able to play this 50k in Barcelona today. Woke up not feeling well at all. Hoping to rally but I dunno man… (2) Not feeling great but I’m going to do my best and play this 50k. Spent 36 straight hours in bed on strong Euro meds. Euro meds rock!”
Kevin MacPhee
“Usually Barcelona gets me excited for another great season of EPT action. This year, I feel like I am not attending any other EPTs.. So sad what the EPT & PokerStars has turned into… :(”
Allen Kessler
“Wow, even I think paying 20% is too large a portion of the field.”
Daniel Negreanu
“@steveodwyer @PokerStarsEPT @NeilJPoker the 20% payout for main event is fine but should not be implemented in high rollers.”
Steve O’Dwyer
“I’m fine with 20% in any freezeout with a large % of field qualifying via satty. Ridiculous in reentry HR/SHR.”
Others

Todd Brunson

Antonio Esfandiari
“Stoked to have @MariaHo @tsarrast @BigCheese_poker join the @PokerCentral family. Our stock just went up !!!”
Melanie Weisner
“On a scavenger hunt–one of the things is to video asking for samples in an ice cream store until refusal. At #13 and she isn’t stopping
“Ok, I’ll take the Milky Way and chocolate almond.” “Cup or cone?” “Oh, neither. Just more samples” #15″
