As more and more people in the world begin to embrace the poker trend, Spain is no exception. The very first Spanish Open Championship was hosted in 2005, just as the worldwide online poker craze was reaching its apex. It seems that there is not a country out there that can resist the urge to celebrate the world’s most popular poker card game. The first tournament in Spain was a great success, with over 70 players. The tournament was noted for the large number of foreign applicants that it attracted many from the United Kingdom. The reputation of the Spanish poker scene has grown to such a degree that it has gained European attention. The next step for Spain is to gain worldwide attention. This should not be a difficult task for the poker loving country, as the tournaments are happening more and more frequently. On average there is a large scale tournament every three months, complete with satellite tournaments to gain entry. Like the United States, most tournaments have both online and physical satellite tournaments. On the brick and mortar side of the equation, there are at least six different physical satellite tournaments to gain entry into the big Spanish tournaments. The pots also continue to increase as more and more players become interested in the classic casino game.
