PokerStars’ popular streamer and all round good guy Lex “L. Veldhuis” Veldhuis is getting ready to be the centre of attention between July 9-15 when the latest edition of Lex Live takes place in sunny Barcelona.
Lex Live Barcelona runs from July 9-15 at the Casino Barcelona, the same venue that hosts the prestigious European Poker Tour (EPT) Barcelona each year. It is the third time Lex Live has run since its inception in 2019. Lex Live 1 took place in Namur, Belgium, in March 2019, with London hosting Lex Live 2 in late September 2019. Lex Live 3 was scheduled for April 2020, but the world shut down amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
Veldhuis has been chomping at the bit to relaunch his Lex Live tour, and the wait is almost over. Lex Live 3: Barcelona features a €170 No-Limit Hold’em Knockout, a €240 Mystery Bounty, an €880 High Roller, and the crown jewel: a €440 Main Event.
Perhaps the best thing about the schedule is none of the events or satellites shuffle and deal before 3:00 p.m. local time, meaning those attending have plenty of time to sample the delights of Barcelona or enjoy a well-deserved sleep-in!
Lex Live Barcelona Schedule
The €440 Lex Liv Barcelona Main Event has three starting flights, with players sitting down armed with 30,000 chips. Each Day 1 sees players get their grind on alongside Veldhuis for 14 levels spanning 40 minutes each. There is a 20-minute break every three levels, with an extended 45-minute dinner break at the end of Level 9.
The PokerNews Live Reporting team will be on the ground throughout the Main Event, so you may find your name on our famous pages, which is an added bonus!
