EPT Barcelona runs August 16–29: The headline is the €5,300 Main Event, but we love the sound of the new €2,200 ‘In The Money at 180,000’ tournament. Like a milestone satellite, if you hit a stack of 180K you cash and move straight to Day 2.

PokerStars co-founder Mark Scheinberg is reportedly selling his superyacht Synthesis. You can live like a billionaire – if you can afford the $152,341,000 asking price.

The sun deck has a jacuzzi, the lower deck features a full spa, and the helipad converts into an entertainment space. Nice life.

Flights are growing in APT Incheon Main Event: Two flights are in the books, and two more go today in the APT Incheon Main Event, with flight C underway and now the biggest starting flight yet with 230 entries so far, less than four hours into the day.

There will also be a final turbo flight starting at 6 pm local time, with Day 2 starting Wednesday morning, and registration will also be open for a level at the start of Day 2.

Last year's Main Event saw 1,281 entries, and with over 900 so far this year between the three starting flights here at Paradise City and the 282 'onlive' entries, a new record could definitely be set.
