Casino Barcelona, best known for hosting the PokerStars European Poker Tour, is running a different kind of event this month. From October 13 to 18, the venue stages the Sixers Poker Series, a festival in which every tournament is contested six-handed rather than the usual full-ring format.
The series opens on October 13 with the two-day Niners event, a €220 No-Limit Hold’em tournament. A €1,200 High Roller follows on October 14, setting the stage for the festival’s centerpiece, the €660 Main Event, which begins on October 15.
While the Main Event field plays down, organizers have scheduled several side events, including a €230 NLHE Progressive Knockout, a €335 Mystery Bounty, and a €220 Closer tournament.
The Main Event carries a €150,000 guarantee. Players can enter directly for €660 or attempt to qualify through €125 satellites. Everyone starts with 50,000 chips, with 45-minute levels on Day 1a and Day 1b, while Day 1c runs on a faster, 20-minute turbo structure. Unlimited re-entry is allowed until the start of Level 15.
A similar Sixers Main Event held at Casino Barcelona in October 2024 drew close to 300 entries, generating a €159,660 prize pool. The top four finishers each earned at least €10,500, with the eventual, unnamed champion collecting €30,000 from their €660 buy-in.
Fans of short-handed No-Limit Hold’em action may want to consider making the trip to Barcelona for this year’s edition of the Sixers Series.
