Season 12 of the European Poker Tour kicked off in Barcelona this week, and straight away it set about setting records. Don't believe us? Check out what Howard Swains had to say in the PokerStars Blog:
"In the case of the Main Event, the numbers in the €5,300 flagship tournament have moved steadily upward. The Main Event of Season 11 was 21 percent bigger than it was in Season 10, and this year's tournament represented an increase of 13 percent on last year. Over two seasons, that's a 37 percent increase, which is bonkers.
