Apart from London and Copenhagen (and Monte Carlo, provided the Grand Finale will be held there), Barcelona is the only city that played host to an event in each of the EPT Seasons. In 2004, the buy-in was €1,000 and Swedish Alexander Stevic won the main event and the €80,000. In Season 6, entrees had to pay €8,000, resulting in the 478 participants creating a prize pool of €3,382,000; the winner was Carter Phillips, taking home €850.000.
