And we're away...The usual 10,000 deep chip stacks are now being put to work and there are some notable players to point out among the 170 currently sitting in the Casino Vilamoura.
Perhaps the most famous face among the runners is former Portuguese international Ricardo Sa Pinto (pictured). Not unfamiliar with cards from his football career - we chose the photo for a reason - we're hoping he has channelled his aggressive streak on to the poker table!
Regular PPT blog followers will recognise ParadisePoker pro Carlos Oliveira, fresh from a quarter-million dollar score at the WCOOP, and last year's ParadisePoker Tour League champion, Toni Merivuori.
You can rarely miss another Paradise pro, Johnny Jensen, thanks to the Dane's love for a party atmosphere - but he seems be a little more focused than our last outing in Bulgaria!
Other names you may remember Bill Cheung, David Pishvafar, József Hegyi, Łukasz Mazurek and Wiktor Szuster, but we'll also be keeping an eye on local pros Paulo Nunes and Hugo Almeida thrughout.
what is the prizes structure?
