The big topic under discussion is the Spanish tax situation and the way that it may affect EPT/Estrellas Barcelona. There are a few reasons to believe that overseas players may not be chased for tax on winnings but no clear cut assurances either so David and Dara explain the logic behind their decision to just play Estrellas week and forgo the higher buy-in tournaments.

There is also a discussion of the upcoming week-long Unibet Summer Knockout Festival (Aug 27-Sep 3) which spins into a chat about how the games on Unibet Poker are noticeably bigger than ever before. Obviously, David claims that it is because of his raw sex appeal but, sensibly, Dara offers other reasons.
