PokerStars qualifies more players for big events like the World Series of Poker and the European Poker Tour than any other site, and now PokerStars is offering a poker camp to prepare its players for their chance at a major live tournament.

The PokerStars Poker Camp is scheduled from Sept. 7-8 in Barcelona, just days before the EPT Barcelona main event. From now until July 19, satellite qualifiers will run twice daily at 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. ET with a buy-in of $48.50. One out of 10 players will get a seat into the final tournament, which will take place Sunday, July 20 at 1 p.m. ET. For every 10 players in the final tournament, a PokerStars Poker Camp prize package will be awarded. The package is worth $4,000 and includes three nights hotel accommodation, exclusive gifts, and invitation to a private party with player players and celebrity tutors.
