The European Poker Tour is celebrating its 20th birthday in sunny Barcelona over the next 10 days.
Eight days of live streaming starts on Sunday with the final table of the Estrella Main Event, followed by the climax of the Super High Roller on Monday, before the EPT Main Event takes over with Day 2 on Tuesday, and daily action until the champion is crowned on September 9.
James Hartigan and Joe Stapleton, plus an array of special guests, will be your hosts for the duration, and PokerStars has added eight daily freerolls (starting at either 15:45 or 18:45 CEST) with a total of $20,000 WCOOP tickets up for grabs to help keep you entertained.
Each freeroll will award $2,500 worth of WCOOP tickets, and they're all open to new and existing customers. To enter, simply tune in to the EPT Livestream on Twitch or YouTube where the password for each freeroll will be revealed.

WCOOP 2024 boasts $80M in guarantees
The 23rd installment of PokerStars' flagship online tournament series runs September 8 - October 2 and guarantees over $80M in prize money across the 379 events on the schedule, with commemorative trophies going to all event winners and 12 World Champion titles up for grabs in a number of poker variants.
With buy-ins starting at $5.50 and rising all the way up to $25,000, there's a tournament for players of all abilities and bankroll levels to try their skills in for a shot at World Championship poker glory.
In 2023, Ivan 'ILS007' Stokes claimed the top spot in the WCOOP $10K Main Event. Stokes battled his way through the field of 600 entrants to bag the World Champion title, the trophy, and $1,047,257.
There are sure to be a number of familiar virtual faces at the WCOOP tables this year. Patrick Leonard, Lex Veldhuis, Benjamin 'Spraggy' Spragg, and Benny Glaser are all amongst the COOP regulars and, as usual, should be ones to watch again this time around.
