Series España dates announced

Win a seat to the Full Tilt Poker Series España live tournament with a buy-in of just $5! Sub-satellite events are running throughout the day at FullTiltPoker.com

Poker players around the world will get the chance to once again participate in Full Tilt Poker's Series España as the poker company announces its live tournament series will return for a second run in 2010.

Once again the Full Tilt Poker Series España will be made up of four live events from four different Spanish hotspots. The tournament kicks off on 25th-27th April at the Casino Castell de Peralada. Players will then move onto the Casino Torrequebrada in Malaga from 4th-6th June. To ensure players don't have the dilemma of choosing between two events there will be a pause in play for the World Series of Poker (WSOP) before the tournament trail continues on 27th-29th August in Madrid at the Casino Gran. The Grand Final of the Full Tilt Poker Series España will be played out in one of Spain's most cosmopolitan cities, Barcelona, at the Gran Casino de Barcelona.

There can be little doubt that Full Tilt Poker is committed to ensuring the España Series is a tournament series to be reckoned with – there is a guaranteed prize pool of $1 million dollars in total. The first three stops have a guaranteed prize pool of $150,000 and there is a lucrative $550,000 pot for the Grand Final.

Buy-ins for the first three events are set at $1,500 and the final is $3,000. There are numerous ways in which players from around the world can secure a seat in the Full Tilt Poke Series España. Each week three satellites will run on Full Tilt Poker, offering players the opportunity to win a spot in Spain. Each satellite will run as follows:

Tuesdays at 3:45 EDT, $200+$16 buy-in with three guaranteed seats to Gerona
Thursdays at 3:45 EDT, $200+$16 buy-in with three guaranteed seats to Gerona
Sundays at 3:45 EDT, $500 + $35 buy-in with five guaranteed seats to Gerona

If players don't want to buy directly into these satellite events, they can qualify for a place via the sub-satellites that carry buy-ins from as little as $5. These sub-satellites run constantly throughout the day and Full Tilt Poker has guaranteed a seat onto the Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday satellite tournaments. Finally, for those players who don’t win a seat courtesy of the satellite route they can still register for the events on line at FullTiltPoker.com
