As it celebrates 20 years of the European Poker Tour (EPT) in Barcelona, PokerStars announced several rule and procedure changes to maintain game integrity, including new rules banning solvers and preflop charts for players and spectators alike.
Kenny Hallaert, a longtime tournament official who recently signed on as a PokerStars ambassador, announced the changes on social media on Monday as EPT Barcelona kicked off with the �1,100 Estrellas Poker Tour Main Event. They include reductions in shot clock time, new dealer guidelines and changes to the redraw process.
PokerNews spoke with the Belgian poker pro to learn more about the game integrity rule changes, the majority of which he said would be in place in Barcelona and going forward at future stops.
Thomas Fjellheim raised to 4,500 under the gun and was called by Tom Vogelsang in the seat next to him, as well as Albert Martinez in the hijack. Pieter De Necker came along in the big blind as the four players saw a flop of 6?10?A?.
They all checked, as did they on the Q? turn. On the 5? river, De Necker made a bet of 5,000, which only Fjellheim called.
De Necker turned over 10?6? for flopped two pair and was awarded the pot when Fjellheim mucked his cards.
