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.

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.
