Despite the maximum capacity of 600 players, the event still looks like and event sold out.
In the preamble to the Main Event, will be held the first EPT Awards ceremony which will reward the best players of the fourth season of EPT, held the day before the Main Event, on September 9, 2008, at the Opium Bar in Barcelona.

The awards were divided into five distinct categories: Best revelation, Best Performance, Best Foreign Player, Best qualified PokerStars and Best player of the year.One should stay connected to hear the results of this unique ceremony.
From all categories mentioned above, we can analyse one better, and that is: “Best Player of the Year”.

Daniel is in fact my favorite poker player. I simply adore how he is capable of revealing the other players playing cards
It is so hilarious to see the faces of his opponents, when he tells them their actual hand.
