Photo: Nunzia Esposito Level 24: 25,000/50,000 (50,000) Entries: 11/383 Prizes: €170,435 The very next hand after Simon Marks’ exit in thirteenth place, Rodrigo Araujo moved all in for 135,000 from the Hi-jack (Araujo began Day 3 with 905,000, but was crippled after an early all-in encounter didn’t go his way). Jose Aguilera three-bet to 280,000 from the Button, before Manuel Antonio Delgado made it 1,000,000 from the Small Blind. Aguilera went out of the way, and Araujo was heads-up to the flop against Delgado.
Rodrigo Araujo: J♦7♣
Manuel Antonio Delgado: 7♥7♦Araujo was in rough shape, and the 5♠A♣6♣4♠Q♠ didn’t help him. All his chips went to Delgado, and he was eliminated in twelfth place for €2,500.
Manuel Antonio Delgado: 3,100,000

Marks Out From the Getgo

Photo: Nunzia Esposito Level 24: 25,000/50,000 (50,000) Entries: 12/383 Prizes: €170,435 Day 3 of the €500 Main Event is afoot, and there was no slow start.
Simon Marks open-shoved for 430,000 from the Hi-jack. Jose Aguilera re-shoved for 770,000 from the Small Blind, and after Manuel Antonio Delgado folded his Big Blind, the two players turned over their cards.
Simon Marks: 6♥6♦
Jose Aguilera: A♥Q♥“Argh,” Marks sighed as Aguilera immediately connected on the 7♦A♦7♥ flop. No miracle for Marks on the K♦7♣ runout, and he became the first Day 3 casualty, going out in thirteenth for €2,500.
Jose Aguilera: 1,300,000

Big One for Cruz

Photo: Nunzia Esposito Level 23: 20,000/40,000 (40,000) Entries: 15/383 Prizes: €170,435 The board read 4♥6♦4♦ with roughly 360,000 in the middle. Carlos Gutierrez Garcia (Hi-jack) bet 150,000, and Francisco Garrido Cruz (Button) made the call. Garcia continued for 250,000 on the 10♦ turn, and Cruz called once more. Garcia slowed down and checked the A♠ river; after some consideration, Cruz bet 250,000. Garcia made the call within a minute.
Cruz tabled his K♦9♦ holdings and took down the massive pot with the nut flush. Ten minutes earlier, Jack Sambrook (seventeenth, €1,650) and Dara O’Kearney (sixteenth, €1,650) were both eliminated.

Another One for O’Kearney

Dara O’Kearney. Photo: Nunzia Esposito Level 20: 10,000/20,000 (20,000) Entries: 21/383 Prizes: €170,435 One might think this is turning into the “Dara O’Kearney Only” blog. While the Irish poker legend and this poker.pro live reporter shares a passion for long-distance running; there’s no partial shenanigans going on; the action caught has just involved him by chance.
O’Kearney checked his Big Blind after Carlos Gutierrez Garcia (Small Blind) limped. Action went check-check on the 3♣10♠4♠ flop. Garcia dipped his toes in the waters with a 20,000 bet on the 7♠ turn, and O’Kearney made the call. Garcia sized up to 45,000 on the 9♥ river, and O’Kearney put in the chips for a call.
Carlos Gutierrez Garcia: J♦9♠
Dara O’Kearney: 7♦3♥Two pairs were good, and O’Kearney took down a small one.

Eloy Cordoba: J♠8♠
Dara O’Kearney: A♠10♦O’Kearney maintained his lead on the 5♥6♥Q♣ flop. He cemented it on the A♣ turn, and after the 4♣, he knocked out Cordoba in twenty-third place for €1,350.

O’Kearney Decides to Fold

Dara O’Kearney. Photo: Nunzia Esposito Level 20: 10,000/20,000 (20,000) Entries: 24/383 Prizes: €170,435 Francisco Garrido Cruz min-raised to 40,000 from UTG+1. Seated in the Big Blind, Dara O’Kearney was the sole caller.
Action went check-check on the 2♥A♠9♠ flop. O’Kearney check-called a 40,000 bet from Cruz on the 6♠ turn. The Irishman checked for a third time on the J♦ river, and was then faced with an 80,000 bet from Cruz. After spending perhaps one minute in the tank, O’Kearney decided to fold. It may not sound like a massive pot, but O’Kearney did, in fact, lose a considerable amount of his stack.
Francisco Garrido Cruz: 1,230,000

Martin Scores Double Knockout; Wins Humungous Pot

Photo: Nunzia Esposito Level 19: 8,000/16,000 (16,000) Entries: 30/383 Prizes: €170,435 Fairly short-stacked Hugo Benitez opened to 180,000 from UTG+1, leaving himself with 20,000 behind. Jose Maria Nieto Martin then moved all-in for roughly 800,000 from the Hi-jack. The decision eventually came to Benyamin Canatan on the Button, who committed his 620,000 to make the call. When action was back on Benitez, he put in his last chips to make the call.
Jose Maria Nieto Martin: Q♦Q♥
Benyamin Canatan: J♠J♦
Hugo Benitez: J♥10♥Things were looking good for Martin to score a double knockout. The 2♣7♦9♦ flop didn’t threaten his ladies. The turn was the 10♦, and for good measure, Martin improved to a set on the Q♣ river. As such, he sent two players to the rail and improved his stack significantly.
Jose Maria Nieto Martin: 1,650,000

O’Carroll Survives

Annette O’Carroll. Photo: Nunzia Esposito Level 19: 8,000/16,000 (16,000) Entries: 37/383 Prizes: €170,435 Action folded to Antonio Ramon Munoz, who min-raised to 32,000 on the Button. When the decision was on Irish poker legend Annette O’Carroll, she peeked at her hole cards, did the math in her head, then moved all in for 180,000 on the dot. Munoz made the call without hesitation.
Annette O’Carroll: A♣8♥
Antonio Ramon Munoz: J♣J♦“That’s bad news for me,” O’Carroll declared as she saw Munoz’s hand. The Poker Gods were looking out for O’Carroll, though; she took a commanding lead on the 6♥8♠8♣ flop, and the Q♥Q♣ runout sealed the deal. With a full house, she doubled through Munoz.

Time is of the Essence

Photo: Nunzia Esposito Level 18: 6,000/12,000 (12,000) Entries: 40/383 Prizes: €170,435 Bulgaria’s Ivan Ivanov opened to 25,000 from the Cut-off and was then faced with a 90,000 three-bet from Francisco Garrido Cruz in the Big Blind. Ivanov snap-called the raise.
Cruz pondered for a minute before continuing for 50,000 on the 3♥A♠8♠ flop. Again, Ivanov made the call faster than the speed of lightning. Cruz checked the 5♠ turn, and Ivanov checked back within a split second. The exact same scenario played out on the J♠ river.
Francisco Garrido Cruz: K♦J♦
Ivan Ivanov: A♣Q♣Maybe Ivanov has somewhere to be and wanted to speed up the game. Hopefully for him, it’s going to be a long night until he reaches the final table.

Boatman Bids Farewell

Seated in the Small Blind, Jack Sambrook three-bet to 65,000. Back to Boatman, then, who four-bet to 125,000, leaving himself with 40,000 behind. Sambrook forced his opponent all-in for 175,000 in total, and Boatman, naturally, made the call.
Jack Sambrook: Q♠Q♣
Barny Boatman: A♠J♠Boatman was trailing. He picked up a straight draw on the Q♣K♣5♥, while Sambrook improved to a set. Boatman was left drawing dead on the K♦ turn; the A♣ river was dealt for ceremonial reasons. With his full house, Sambrook eliminated Boatman in forty-third place for €1,000.

Herrera continued with a 45,000 bet on the 7♥3♦Q♠ flop. After a minute’s worth of pondering, Dalipi moved all in for 215,000. Herrera made the call faster than you could say “Vamos rápido,” and soon, the players were given the green light by the floor to turn over their cards.
Geron Dalipi: Q♥J♣
Andres Herrera: Q♣3♥Herrera was way ahead with two-pair, and Dalipi didn’t manage to catch up as the board completed with 6♣8♠. As such, Dalipi became the unfortunate bubble boy, going out in fifty-sixth place. As he exited the tournament area, the remaining players could breathe a sigh of relief; they’ve now secured a €1,000 min-cash.

Hero Call Sees Chopped Pot

Photo: Nunzia Esposito Level 15: 3,000/6,000 (6,000) Entries: 58/383 Prizes: €170,435 Matthew Warrie made it 16,000 UTG. Seated in the Small Blind, Rodrigo Araujo was the sole caller.
Araujo check-called a 16,000 bet from Warrie on the 7♣K♣4♥ flop. Action went check-check on the K♠ turn, and on the J♣, it was Araujo who claimed the driver’s seat, as he bet 45,000. After some consideration, Warrie made the call.
Rodrigo Araujo: A♠Q♣
Matthew Warrie: A♥Q♦A nice hero call from Warrie, but it only earned him 50% of the pot. PartyPoker Team Pro is seated at the same table, enjoying a good book.

Dalipi has a Set; Bubble is Approaching

Photo: Nunzia Esposito Level 15: 3,000/6,000 (6,000) Entries: 58/383 Prizes: €170,435 Geron Dalipi opened to 12,000 from the Hi-jack. He got two customers: Carlos Gutierrez Garcia called from the Small Blind, and Ruben Perez Correa joined the fun from the Big Blind.
Action was checked to Dalipi on the 9♦K♥3♥ flop, and he continued for 10,000. Garcia called before Correa got out of the way. Garcia check-called a 16,000 bet from Dalipi on the 7♥ turn, and the dealer then revealed the A♠ river. Garcia checked again, and Dalipi now bet 22,000. After two minutes’ worth of consideration, Garcia made the call. Dalipi turned over 3♠3♣ for a flopped set, and Garcia acknowledged the strength of his opponent’s hand.
The €500 Main Event is now down to 58 players, meaning three more will go out before the 55 remaining are all guaranteed a €1,000 min-cash.

Lamb Folds a Monster

Aguilera put out a 20,000 continuation bet on the 7♥2♥2♠ flop, and Lamb wasted little time before raising to 50,000. After a minute’s worth of consideration, Augilera forced his opponent all in for 295,000 in total. Lamb looked visibly troubled, and after considering his options for a good three minutes, he folded, revealing his K♥K♣ holdings. Aguilera looked surprised over the fold; he turned over his hand, Q♥10♥, before raking in the pot.

O’Kearney Wins Big Pot Right Before the Break

Dara O’Kearney. Photo: Nunzia Esposito Level 15: 3,000/6,000 (6,000) Entries: 68/383 Prizes: €170,435 The remaining 68 players in Day 2 of the €500 Main Event are now on a 25-minute break. Just before the break, a big hand played out at Table 24.
Adrian Creagh opened to 10,000 from the Lo-jack. Daniel Ciancio then three-bet to 30,000 from the Cut-off. Next, Gonzalo Rodriguez four-bet shoved for roughly 160,000. As if things weren’t already crazy enough, Dara O’Kearney then five-bet shoved, having Rodriguz covered. Creagh folded, and so did Ciancio, albeit after spending at least four minutes in the tank.
Gonzalo Rodriguez: A♦K♣
Dara O’Kearney: K♠K♦Rodriguez was in rough shape, and he didn’t manage to find an ace or any other help as the board spelled out 4♠K♥Q♥4♥10♥. As such, he was eliminated, and O’Kearney secured a very respectable stack right before the break.
Dara O’Kearney: 500,000

Jiménez Cruising

Bárbara Jiménez. Photo: Nunzia Esposito Level 14: 2,000/5,000 (5,000) Entries: 71/383 Prizes: €170,435 Luke Bird limped UTG. Carlos Alonso made the call from the Small Blind before PartyPoker Tour Ambassador Barbara Jiménez checked from the Big Blind.
After an initial check from Alonso on the A♣K♥7♣ flop, Jiménez dipped her toes in the waters with a 10,000 bet. This was enough to scare both of her opponents away.
Not an exciting hand at all; this poker.pro live reporter just wanted an excuse to say that Jiménez has a very good stack.
Barbara Jiménez: 468,000

Jose Maria Rodriguez: 10♥10♦
Lucia Antunes: A♦K♠It was a classic coin flip situation, and Rodriguez’s pocket pair stood the test of time, as the board spelled out 9♠7♣4♥J♣7♥. He received a full double-up at the expense of Antunes.

Niall “Firaldo” Farrell. Photo: Nunzia Esposito Level 13: 2,000/4,000 (4,000) Entries: 82/383 Prizes: €170,435 Francisco Huelva opened to 8,000 UTG. Niall “Firaldo” Farrell is watching the football on his phone, but he decided to play some poker as well, as he defended his Big Blind.
Firaldo check-called a 10,000 bet from Huelve on the 3♠8♠6♥ flop. Action repeated itself on the 8♦ turn, the only difference being that Huelva now sized up to 25,000. Both players checked the 3♦ river.
Firaldo turned over A♦3♥ for a rivered full house and improved his stack by 50%.

Proimons check-called a 5,000 bet from Boatman on the 3♥Q♥J♣ flop. Both players checked the Q♣ turn and the 8♥ river. First to show, Proimos turned over 9♣8♦, and Boatman sighed as he mucked his hand.

Collette Stewart made the call from the Lo-jack, and the two of them were soon heads-up to the flop. “Watch out, Collette, I’ve got a monster,” Staples informed his combatant. “Shut up,” Stewart joked with her old friend, and the table shared a laugh.
Staples check-called a 7,000 bet from Stewart on the 6♣A♠3♠ flop. “There it is!” Staples screamed in joy as the dealer revealed the 9♥ turn. Yet, he decided to check, and Stewart checked behind. Staples checked for a third time on the 7♦ river, and Stewart bet 20,000. “Show the bluff,” Staples urged his opponent while throwing his cards in the middle. Stewart turned over the 3♥ as she raked in the pot.

Carter’s Kings Crashes

Barry Carter. Photo: Nunzia Esposito Level 12: 1,000/3,000 (3,000) Entries: 88/383 Prizes: €170,435 Ivan Monje opened to 7,000 UTG. Kevin Moreno made the call from UTG+1, before PartyPoker Tour Ambassador Barry Carter three-bet to 25,000 from the Cut-off. Monje and Moreno both decided to make the call.
Action was checked to Carter on the J♠4♣9♠ flop, and after doing the math, he moved all-in for what this poker.pro live reporter estimated to be 180,000. Monje called faster than the speed of lightning before Moreno mucked.
Barry Carter: K♥K♦
Ivan Monje: 4♦4♠Unfortunate from Carter, and the Q♥7♥ offered no consolation. As such, he became the first PartyPoker Tour Ambassador to bid farewell from Day 2 of the €500 Main Event.
Ivan Monje: 550,000

Rees fancied an 11,000 donk bet on the 8♠4♥3♣ flop, and Huelva was the sole caller. Rees kept going on the 10♣ turn with a 20,000 bet. Huelva stuck around, and the action then went check-check on the 10♦ river.
Rees turned over J♦8♦, and Huelva’s cards hit the muck.

Bourgeois Out First Hand

Blaise Bourgeois. Photo: Nunzia Esposito Level 12: 1,000/3,000 (3,000) Entries: 93/383 Prizes: €170,435 Blaise Bourgeois opened to 6,000 from the Lo-jack. Seated in the Small Blind, Luke Bird three-bet to 13,000. Bourgeois made the call.
Bird continued on the aggressive path with a 22,000 continuation bet on the 4♣Q♦3♥ flop, and Bourgeois made the call. On the 10♥ turn, Bird snap-shoved, effectively forcing Bourgeois all-in for 86,000. Without Hesitation, Bourgeois made the call.
Luke Bird: 2♠2♦
Blaise Bourgeois: Q♥10♠A dream scenario for Bourgeois, but poker can be a brutal game at times. The 2♥ river sawe Bird improving to bottom set, and as such, Bourgeois became one of the earlier casualties in Day 2.
Luke Bird: 256,000

The Calm Before the Storm

The hyper-turbo flight that is Day 1d has concluded, sending another nine players into Day 2. That means that a total of 97 entries will start Day 2. Overall, the tournament scored 383 entries, translating to a €170,435 prize pool.
Today’s poker.pro live coverage will commence at 18:00 when Day 2 kicks off, and the poker.pro live reporter Christoffer Karlén won’t rest until the flight wraps up.

Top 10 All-Time Poker Earners at Casino Admiral Sevilla (March 2026)
With the 2026 PartyPoker Tour currently in town, it’s a good time to look at the biggest winners in Casino Admiral Sevilla’s history, courtesy of The Hendon Mob.

Top 10 All-Time Earners at Casino Admiral Sevilla, as of March 2026 Italy’s Federico Castiglioni sits atop the leaderboard, thanks entirely to his victory in the 2023 ESPT Sevilla Main Event, where he banked €73,290 ($78,360).
Hot on his heels is Ramon Fernandez with $77,526 in total earnings. The biggest piece of Spaniard’s winnings in the Casino Admiral came last month with a win at the Circuito Nacional de Poker Main Event for €60,000.
Rounding out the top three is André Franco from Portugal. Similar to Fernandez, a large portion of his earnings comes from the CNdP, where he secured €58,937 for winning a year earlier.
With the PartyPoker Tour in full swing and the €500 Main Event featuring another hyper starting flight today ahead of Day 2 later on, there’s a very good chance the eventual winner will climb straight into the Casino Admiral Sevilla top 10 once the dust settles, with currently sixth-placed Manuel Delgado already in a strong position after bagging the second-biggest stack from Day 1B

Glenn Brown. Photo: Nunzia Esposito The 2026 PartyPoker Tour Seville has proved to be a smashing success, and although there are still two more days of action to come, it’s never too early to get excited for what’s next to come.

Trip Down Memory Lane: The 2025 PartyPoker Tour London Winter Edition

Thomas Sanderson, winner of the £500 Main Event during the 2025 PartyPoker Tour London Winter Edition. Photo: Nunzia Esposito Last year, PartyPoker made its much-anticipated return to the live poker scene, as the 2025 PartyPoker Tour was born. The tour consisted of five stops (all in the UK), and the successful first year is why the tour is expanding to Spain this year.
The 2025 PartyPoker Tour wrapped up with its fifth and final stop at the same place it began: Genting Casino Stratford, London. As is always the case with the PartyPoker Tour, the £500 Main Event headlined the schedule, and considering the biggest-ever PartyPoker Tour Main Event to date went down in London during the inaugural stop of the tour last year, the expectations were high for yet another big turnout in the English capital.
The Main Event during the 2025 PartyPoker Tour Winter Edition attracted 399 entries, creating a £177,555 prize pool. In other words, the £100,000 guarantee was smashed in stellar fashion. After three days of intense poker action, it was Thomas Sanderson who emerged victorious, claiming the £27,780 first-place prize and the trophy.
Then, there was also the £150 Mini Main Event. A total of 726 entries translated to a £90,750 prize pool; the £50,000 guarantee was almost doubled. The tournament was a smashing success, and victory would belong to André Emerenciano, who emerged victorious and cashed for £14,530.
The PartyPoker Tour will return to Genting Casino Stratford, London, in 2026. It has been announced that the tour will pay the English capital a visit July 4-12, and considering the numbers the two previous London stops have delivered, players should have high expectations.

€250 PLO Masters Main Event in Full Swing; JJ Hazan’s in the House

JJ Hazan. Photo: Nunzia Esposito JJ Hazan recently entered Admiral Casino.
While most players are currently locking horns in the €500 Main Event Day 1b, there are some contestants in Day 1a of the €250 PLO Masters Main Event. Hazan is the founder of the PLO Masters, which runs in conjunction with the PartyPoker Tour, and he’s excited for his series of PLO tournaments to expand to Spanish Soil. I asked Hazan what it means to him that the PLO Masters have made it to Seville:
“It’s a challenge, because the PLO scene in Spain is not very big. That being said, 71 entries in yesterday’s €100 PLO Masters 4/5/6 were great. PartyPoker and the PLO Masters had predicted a maximum of 50 entries in that specific event, so it exceeded our expectations. Perhaps, the Spanish PLO scene is growing.”
Day 1a of the PLO Masters Main Event is currently on Level 3, featuring Blinds 100/300. Thirteen players out of the total 15 entries are still in the mix; late registration is still open, and Hazan himself is just about to enter the inaugural flight, perhaps with the mission to teach the Spaniards their way around four cards. That being said, it was a local player who knocked Hazan out of yesterday’s PLO Masters 4/5/6…

Trip Down Memory Lane: The 2025 PartyPoker Tour Birmingham

Tai Hoang, winner of the £500 Main Event during the 2025 PartyPoker Tour Birmingham. photo: Nunzia Esposito Last year, PartyPoker made its much-anticipated return to the live poker scene, as the 2025 PartyPoker Tour was born. The tour consisted of five stops (all in the UK), and the successful first year is why the tour is expanding to Spain this year.
The fourth stop of the 2025 PartyPoker Tour was held in Birmingham. It was the first time in some years that Genting Resorts World, Birmingham, hosted a live poker event of this magnitude, and the local players were very grateful for PartyPoker bringing new life to the scene.
The £500 Main Event attracted 343 entries; the £100,000 guarantee was shattered, as the final prize pool read £152,635. The £27,420 and the coveted trophy were ultimately claimed by Tai Hoang, who displayed great poker skills throughout the 2025 PartyPoker Tour Birmingham.

Out of the 660 entries, Robert Douras was the only one who could outlast Hoang. Douras claimed £14,370 after what has to be one of the most dominating performances ever on a final table. Hoang got £9,080, which was also a considerable amount of the £82,500 prize pool.

The Bromley Broom

Natalie Bromley. Photo: Nunzia Esposito Level 6: 400/800 (800) Entries: 100/130 Prizes: €100,000 GTD Looking for action, this poker.pro live reporter stopped by the table featuring PartyPoker Tour Ambassadors Barry Carter and Natalie Bromley, as well as prominent player Franky Green. While partaking in some banter with Carter, Bromley opened to 2,000 from the Lo-jack. The Big Blind decided to defend his forced bet.
Action went check-check on the J♣Q♦7♥ flop. Bromley bet 2,000 on the 2♣ turn, and her opponent decided to stick around. Bromley fired again on the 8♥ river, this time 6,400. Her opponent considered the situation for a minute or two before mucking his hand.
Noticing my presence, Bromley pulled up the arms on her shirt, proving she did not have any aces up her sleeves.

Action went check-check on the 5♥6♥5♣ flop. Araujo bet 865,000 on the 10♥ turn before Crawford forced her opponent all in for 2,600,000 in total. Araujo made the call faster than the speed of lightning.
Peggy Crawford: K♥Q♦
Jonas Araujo: 9♥7♥Araujo had turned a flush, and Crawford didn’t improve to a superior one on the 10♠ river. A visibly happy Araujo doubled through Crawford.

Oscar Rodriguez made the call from the Big Blind.
First to act, Rodriguez forced Firaldo all-in on the 9♣K♦Q♦ flop. Naturally, Firaldo made the call.
Oscar Rodriguez: A♦8♥
Niall “Firaldo” Farrell: K♣J♣Firaldo was still ahead with a pair of kings, but the 8♦ was one of the best cards in the decks for Rodriguez, and especially for the suspension. He improved to the nut flush on the 4♦, seeing Firaldo off in eighth for €1,430.

Juan Anguas: A♥10♠
Niall “Firaldo” Farrell: K♠K♣Firaldo was way ahead with the cowboys, but there’s always an ace, isn’t it? The board spelled out 2♥9♦J♥A♣4♠, awarding the pot and a full double-up to Anguas.

After an initial check from Sirbu on the Q♣K♥9♥ flop, Gomez continued for 275,000. “You’re very good,” Sirbu acknowledged his opponent’s skill set as he raised to 600,000. Gomez made the call.
Seconds before the dealer turned over the A♠ turn, Sirbu announced all-in in the dark for his last 1,160,000. Gomez made the call.
Hady Sirbu: K♦Q♠
Carlos Gomez: A♣10♠Sirbu was an 80% favorite, but the Poker Gods were looking out for Gomez, who improved to a superior two-pair on the 10♥ river. As such, Sirbu became the first casualty of the final table, earning €1,120 for his ninth-place finish.

Casino Admiral, Seville. Photo: Nunzia Esposito Level 27: 60,000/120,000 (120,000) Entries: 12/653 Prizes: €84,000 UTG, Juanmi Cubero opened to 250,000. Seated in the Small Blind, Gilberto Lopez was the sole caller.
Lopez check-called a 275,000 bet from Cubero on the A♣2♣4♥ flop. After another check from Lopez on the 10♥ turn, Cubero moved all in for 1,475,000. Lopez made the call without hesitation.
Juanmi Cubero: K♥Q♥
Gilberto Lopez: 4♠4♣Not a half-shabby semi-bluff from Cubero, but Lopez was way ahead with a flopped set. Cubero didn’t hit any of his outs on the 5♣ river, and he was sent to the rail in thirteenth place for €720.

It was a “Call with any two” scenario for Gilberto Lopez Manzanero, and, as such, he did make the call from the Big Blind.
Manuel Salamanca: 8♣7♦
Gilberto Lopez Manzanero: A♠J♥Salamanca was trailing, but he was well alive. He immediately connected on the Q♥6♥8♠ flop, and as the board completed with 9♠5♣, he secured a full double-up.

Jose Maria Lozano Granjo: 5♦5♥
Daniele Barbera: J♥10♥Granjo’s small pocket pair stood the test of time, as the board spelled out 8♥A♦7♦5♣8♦. As Granjo doubled up, Barbera was left in critical condition.

Patel Doubles Through Iwaniak

After an initial check from Patel on the 3♥K♠7♣ flop, Iwaniak forced her opponent all in for 585,000. Patel wasted little time before making the call for his tournament life.
Linda Iwaniak: 5♠5♦
Dillan Patel: K♦J♦A good scenario for Patel, and the runout didn’t see Iwaniak reclaim the lead. She lost the bigger chunk of her chips to Patel, but she’s still one of three women standing in the €150 Mini Main Event (together with Peggy “Pocket Peg” Crawford and Carmen Lopez Cubero).

Bold Bluff from Mortensen

Photo: Nunzia Esposito Level 22: 15,000/30,000 (30,000) Entries: 27/653 Prizes: €84,000 Action folded to the charismatic Hady Sirbu, who opened to 75,000 from the Button. Markus Mortensen decided to defend his Big Blind.
Mortensen chose to donk bet 80,000 on the K♥A♠6♣ flop, and Sirbu made the call. Mortensen slowed down and proceeded to check-call a 50,000 bet from Sirbu on the 7♠ turn. The river was the A♦, pairing the board, and Mortensen now bet 225,000. This had Sirbu visibly troubled. “It doesn’t make sense,” he scratched his head. After perhaps two minutes’ worth of pondering, he decided to let his hand go.
“Show me,” Sirbu urged his opponent. “I’m not sure you want to see it,” Mortensen replied, as he revealed his J♦5♠ holdings. The table shared a laugh, and being a good sport, Sirbu bro-fisted his opponent.
Markus Mortensen: 1,600,000
Hady Sirbu: 1,250,000 -
De La Rosa Survives

Mario De La Rosa: K♠J♠
Sergey: A♠Q♣Sergey maintained the lead on the 8♥6♣3♦ flop, but momentum switched on the J♥ turn. The 2♦ river extended De La Rosa’s tournament life.

Firaldo Takes From Kritzer

Ryana Kritzer. Photo: Nunzia Esposito Level 22: 15,000/30,000 (30,000) Entries: 33/653 Prizes: €84,000 The board read 5♦7♥2♠J♠ with 450,000 in the middle. Niall “Firaldo” Farrell (UTG) checked it over to Ryana Kritzer, who checked it back. On the 10♣ river, Firaldo put out a 350,000 bet, big enough to get a fold out of Kritzer.
It’s quite the interesting table with Firaldo, Kritzer (who is the fiancée of PartyPoker Team Pro Matt Staples), Day 1a chip leader Peggy “Pocket Peg” Crawford, and early-stages chip leader Jose Maria Lozano Granjo.

Again?!

Niall “Firaldo” Farrell. Photo: Nunzia Esposito Level 21: 10,000/25,000 (25,000) Entries: 39/653 Prizes: €84,000 Seated UTG, Adrian Casado Lopez opened to 50,000. Action folded all the way to Gabriel Barba, who decided to defend his Big Blind.
Barba immediately moved all in for roughly 200,000 on the 2♠9♦8♦ flop, and Casado Lopez called just as fast.
Gabriel Barba: 10♥8♥
Adrian Casado Lopez: K♦K♠“Again?!” This poker.pro live reporter was thinking, as pocket kings appeared for at least the fifth time tonight. No dice for Barba on the monotone runout, and all his chips went to Casado Lopez.
Seated on the same table is PartyPoker Tour Ambassador Niall “Firaldo” Farrell, who is playing roughly 1,000,000.
Adrian Casado Lopez: 936,000
Gabriel Barba: 0 -
Staples is Out

Matt Staples. Photo: Nunzia Esposito Level 20: 10,000/20,000 (20,000) Entries: 39/653 Prizes: €84,000 PartyPoker Team Pro Matt Staples was all in before the flop for what looked to be 200,000.
Matt Staples: A♠K♦
Opponent: 2♥2♠Both players improved on the 2♣J♣10♥ flop, but Staples was in rough shape. The runout turned out to be quite the rollercoaster; Staples improved to a straight on the Q♠ turn, but the Q♥ river saw his opponent improving to a full house.
As such, Staples was eliminated in fortieth place for €360. That means that Niall “Firaldo” Farrell is the only one left wearing a PartyPoker patch. What’s worth mentioning, though, is that Staples’ fiancée, Ryana Kritzer, is still in the field. Not too shabby, considering it’s her first-ever live poker tournament.

Kings Again

Matteo Fritz then moved all in for 155,000, and Miguel Gomez Parraga re-shoved for roughly 500,000 from the Big Blind. Crawford grimaced, “That’s unfortunate,” before folding her hand.
Matteo Fritz: A♣4♥
Miguel Gomez Parraga: K♦K♥This is the fourth time today that this poker.pro live reporter sees pocket kings. The Q♣9♠Q♦ flop didn’t help Fritz, and he was drawing dead when Gomez Parraga improved to a full house on the K♣ turn. The dealer dealt the A♥ for ceremonial reasons, before pushing all the chips to Gomez Parraga.
Miguel Gomez Parraga: 675,000

Premium Versus Premium

Photo: Nunzia Esposito Level 18: 6,000/12,000 (12,000) Entries: 55/653 Prizes: €84,000 Action folded to Manuel Sanchez, who opened to 24,000 from the Lo-jack. Seated right next to him, Carlos Herrador made it 60,000 from the Hi-jack. When it came back to Sanchez, he forced his opponent all in for 259,000 in total. Herrador made the call without hesitation.
Manuel Sanchez: Q♠Q♥
Carlos Herrador: K♣K♥Sanchez was dominated, and no case queen or any other help as the board spelled out 4♠3♥4♦6♣10♥. As such, he lost a big part of his stack to Herrador.
Carlos Herrador: 548,000
Manuel Sanchez: 235,000 -

Lopez check-called a 33,000 bet from Guerrero on the 6♦10♣9♥ flop. Both players checked the 6♥ turn, and the 7♥ river.
Adrian Casado Lopez: 8♥8♦
Jose Antonio Guerrero: A♥A♦A rivered straight saw Lopez crack the pocket aces of Guerrero.

Top 10 All-Time Poker Earners at Casino Admiral Sevilla (March 2026)
With the 2026 PartyPoker Tour currently in town, it’s a good time to look at the biggest winners in Casino Admiral Sevilla’s history, courtesy of The Hendon Mob.

Top 10 All-Time Earners at Casino Admiral Sevilla, as of March 2026 Italy’s Federico Castiglioni sits atop the leaderboard, thanks entirely to his victory in the 2023 ESPT Sevilla Main Event, where he banked €73,290 ($78,360).
Hot on his heels is Ramon Fernandez with $77,526 in total earnings. The biggest piece of Spaniard’s winnings in the Casino Admiral came last month with a win at the Circuito Nacional de Poker Main Event for €60,000.
Rounding out the top three is André Franco from Portugal. Similar to Fernandez, a large portion of his earnings comes from the CNdP, where he secured €58,937 for winning a year earlier.
With the PartyPoker Tour in full swing and the €500 Main Event featuring another hyper starting flight today ahead of Day 2 later on, there’s a very good chance the eventual winner will climb straight into the Casino Admiral Sevilla top 10 once the dust settles, with currently sixth-placed Manuel Delgado already in a strong position after bagging the second-biggest stack from Day 1B

Trip Down Memory Lane: The 2025 PartyPoker Tour London Winter Edition

Thomas Sanderson, winner of the £500 Main Event during the 2025 PartyPoker Tour London Winter Edition. Photo: Nunzia Esposito Last year, PartyPoker made its much-anticipated return to the live poker scene, as the 2025 PartyPoker Tour was born. The tour consisted of five stops (all in the UK), and the successful first year is why the tour is expanding to Spain this year.
The 2025 PartyPoker Tour wrapped up with its fifth and final stop at the same place it began: Genting Casino Stratford, London. As is always the case with the PartyPoker Tour, the £500 Main Event headlined the schedule, and considering the biggest-ever PartyPoker Tour Main Event to date went down in London during the inaugural stop of the tour last year, the expectations were high for yet another big turnout in the English capital.
The Main Event during the 2025 PartyPoker Tour Winter Edition attracted 399 entries, creating a £177,555 prize pool. In other words, the £100,000 guarantee was smashed in stellar fashion. After three days of intense poker action, it was Thomas Sanderson who emerged victorious, claiming the £27,780 first-place prize and the trophy.
Then, there was also the £150 Mini Main Event. A total of 726 entries translated to a £90,750 prize pool; the £50,000 guarantee was almost doubled. The tournament was a smashing success, and victory would belong to André Emerenciano, who emerged victorious and cashed for £14,530.
The PartyPoker Tour will return to Genting Casino Stratford, London, in 2026. It has been announced that the tour will pay the English capital a visit July 4-12, and considering the numbers the two previous London stops have delivered, players should have high expectations.

€250 PLO Masters Main Event in Full Swing; JJ Hazan’s in the House

JJ Hazan. Photo: Nunzia Esposito JJ Hazan recently entered Admiral Casino.
While most players are currently locking horns in the €500 Main Event Day 1b, there are some contestants in Day 1a of the €250 PLO Masters Main Event. Hazan is the founder of the PLO Masters, which runs in conjunction with the PartyPoker Tour, and he’s excited for his series of PLO tournaments to expand to Spanish Soil. I asked Hazan what it means to him that the PLO Masters have made it to Seville:
“It’s a challenge, because the PLO scene in Spain is not very big. That being said, 71 entries in yesterday’s €100 PLO Masters 4/5/6 were great. PartyPoker and the PLO Masters had predicted a maximum of 50 entries in that specific event, so it exceeded our expectations. Perhaps, the Spanish PLO scene is growing.”
Day 1a of the PLO Masters Main Event is currently on Level 3, featuring Blinds 100/300. Thirteen players out of the total 15 entries are still in the mix; late registration is still open, and Hazan himself is just about to enter the inaugural flight, perhaps with the mission to teach the Spaniards their way around four cards. That being said, it was a local player who knocked Hazan out of yesterday’s PLO Masters 4/5/6…

The tour consisted of five stops (all in the UK), and the successful first year is why the tour is expanding to Spain this year.
The fourth stop of the 2025 PartyPoker Tour was held in Birmingham. It was the first time in some years that Genting Resorts World, Birmingham, hosted a live poker event of this magnitude, and the local players were very grateful for PartyPoker bringing new life to the scene.
The £500 Main Event attracted 343 entries; the £100,000 guarantee was shattered, as the final prize pool read £152,635. The £27,420 and the coveted trophy were ultimately claimed by Tai Hoang, who displayed great poker skills throughout the 2025 PartyPoker Tour Birmingham.

Hoang got £9,080, which was also a considerable amount of the £82,500 prize pool.

Photo: Nunzia Esposito Level 6: 400/800 (800) Entries: 100/130 Prizes: €100,000 GTD Looking for action, this poker.pro live reporter stopped by the table featuring PartyPoker Tour Ambassadors Barry Carter and Natalie Bromley, as well as prominent player Franky Green. While partaking in some banter with Carter, Bromley opened to 2,000 from the Lo-jack. The Big Blind decided to defend his forced bet.
Action went check-check on the J♣Q♦7♥ flop. Bromley bet 2,000 on the 2♣ turn, and her opponent decided to stick around. Bromley fired again on the 8♥ river, this time 6,400. Her opponent considered the situation for a minute or two before mucking his hand.
Noticing my presence, Bromley pulled up the arms on her shirt, proving she did not have any aces up her sleeves.
Natalie Bromley: 52,000

Dara O’Kearney. Photo: Nunzia Esposito Level 5: 300/600 (600) Entries: 95/111 Prizes: €100,000 GTD This poker.pro live reporter took a stroll through the tournament area and noticed Irish poker legend Dara O’Kearney opening to 1,500 from the Hi-jack. His opponent in the Big Blind decided to defend her Big Blind, and the dealer brought the 6♠8♠K♠ flop to the table. The opponent check-called a 1,500 continuation bet from O’Kearney. Action then went check-check on the 9♣ turn. The opponent completed the check trifecta on the 3♥ river; O’Kearney now fired a 4,000 bet, and the opponent called.
O’Kearney revealed 6♣3♣, which was enough to take down the pot.

Trip Down Memory Lane: The 2025 PartyPoker Tour Glasgow

Zhen Zhen, winner of the £500 Main Event during the 2025 PartyPoker Tour Glasgow. Photo: Nunzia Esposito Last year, PartyPoker made its much-anticipated return to the live poker scene, as the 2025 PartyPoker Tour was born. The tour consisted of five stops (all in the UK), and the successful first year is why the tour is expanding to Spain this year.
The third stop of the 2025 PartyPoker tour was in Glasgow. The legendary PokerBrand took over Alea Casino for a week; it’s an utterly beautiful casino with the most amazing view over the River Clyde.
The £500 Main Event featured a Cinderella story, as exchange student Zhen Zhen navigated her way through the field that consisted of 256 entries. For her win, Zhen was awarded £22,500, the largest chunk of the £111,821 prize pool.
The festival, naturally, also featured the £150 Mini Main Event. That particular affair scored 468 entries, creating a £57,966 prize pool. It was local player Christian Watt who claimed the win and the £10,260 first-place payout.
PartyPoker will return to Glasgow and Alea Casino as a part of the 2026 PartyPoker Tour. All players would be very wise to mark August 3-9 in their calendars, preparing for yet another PartyPoker Tour event in the Scottish gem.

PartyPoker Tour Seville 2026: Finding Confidence at the Table
At the PartyPoker Tour in Seville, I met Kristina Rutia and Paola Morrondo — two players at very different stages of their poker journeys, yet united by something powerful: the decision to show up.
For Paola, this was her first time ever playing poker in person.
“It was the last opportunity I had to come, and I just came,” she tells me, smiling. Work had almost made it impossible. With only one free day in an otherwise packed schedule, she nearly didn’t make it. Online poker had always fit her life better — fast, flexible, something you can dip in and out of. Live poker felt like a different commitment altogether.
Paola And yet, encouraged by her boyfriend Marcos, she took the leap.
“I was really nervous,” she admits. “I’d never sat down with people playing right next to me.”
That first experience could easily have been overwhelming. Instead, it became something else entirely.
“The people were really encouraging. They told me I played well. It made me want to keep going.”
Kristina’s story begins differently, but arrives at a similar place.
Originally from Zaragoza, she had played poker casually with family and friends. But everything changed when she started watching professional games online.
“It felt like a completely different world,” she says. “I couldn’t quite grasp the nuances.”
Kristina That changed when her partner Yeyu introduced her to the deeper mechanics of the game.
“He said to me, ‘Son of a gun, you’re playing better than me!’ That was it. From that moment, I never looked back.”
Since then, poker has become central not just to her life, but to her relationship. And travel is a huge part of the appeal.
“I love going to different places. That’s one of the best things about the PartyPoker tour.”
Of course, the reality is not always glamorous.
“Sometimes you’re playing until 5am. There’s no way I’m getting up at 9am to explore the city,” she laughs. “But it’s worth it. After all, I’m here for the poker.”
What makes this story particularly compelling is that Kristina and Paola met here in Seville.
A shared experience at the tables quickly turned into a friendship — and now, a plan.
They want to travel together to future poker stops, building a small but growing community of women who can support each other.
“There were only four women and more than a hundred men,” Paola says. “I almost didn’t come because of that.”
But she did.
And Kristina is quick to point out that things are changing.
“I always notice how many women are playing. And there are more and more of us.”
Visibility matters. Representation matters. And interestingly, she notes that even in online spaces, gender plays a role.
“A lot of usernames are female, even when men are playing. People assume women are weaker players.”
It’s a revealing insight into the psychology of the game — and the quiet strategies that shape it.
Online poker and live poker, both agree, are two completely different beasts.
Online, you can get used to patterns, styles, and rhythms. In person, everything shifts. You read the room. You read people. You learn again.
And yet, platforms like PartyPoker make that transition possible.
They offer real accessibility — the chance to qualify, to try, to step into the live arena without barriers that once felt insurmountable.
For Paola, that opportunity made all the difference.
“This is just the beginning,” she says.
Seville, too, plays its part.
There is something about the city — its warmth, its openness, its energy — that mirrors the atmosphere at the tables. Even among strangers, there is a sense of ease. The games are not silent, tense spaces. People talk. They help. They encourage.
And then there is everything else: the food, the weather, the rhythm of the streets.
It is a city that welcomes you, even if you have never been before.
At the tables, Kristina is effortlessly stylish, adorned with poker-inspired accessories. Paola, with her distinctive glasses, brings her own sharp edge.
Poker, here, is not just a game. It is becoming something else — a space of identity, style, and community.
And perhaps most importantly, it is becoming a space where women feel they can belong.
They are still nervous. That doesn’t disappear overnight.
But they are playing anyway.
And that is where everything begins. -

Big One for Cruz

Photo: Nunzia Esposito Level 23: 20,000/40,000 (40,000) Entries: 15/383 Prizes: €170,435 The board read 4♥6♦4♦ with roughly 360,000 in the middle. Carlos Gutierrez Garcia (Hi-jack) bet 150,000, and Francisco Garrido Cruz (Button) made the call. Garcia continued for 250,000 on the 10♦ turn, and Cruz called once more. Garcia slowed down and checked the A♠ river; after some consideration, Cruz bet 250,000. Garcia made the call within a minute.
Cruz tabled his K♦9♦ holdings and took down the massive pot with the nut flush. Ten minutes earlier, Jack Sambrook (seventeenth, €1,650) and Dara O’Kearney (sixteenth, €1,650) were both eliminated.

Another One for O’Kearney

Dara O’Kearney. Photo: Nunzia Esposito Level 20: 10,000/20,000 (20,000) Entries: 21/383 Prizes: €170,435 One might think this is turning into the “Dara O’Kearney Only” blog. While the Irish poker legend and this poker.pro live reporter shares a passion for long-distance running; there’s no partial shenanigans going on; the action caught has just involved him by chance.
O’Kearney checked his Big Blind after Carlos Gutierrez Garcia (Small Blind) limped. Action went check-check on the 3♣10♠4♠ flop. Garcia dipped his toes in the waters with a 20,000 bet on the 7♠ turn, and O’Kearney made the call. Garcia sized up to 45,000 on the 9♥ river, and O’Kearney put in the chips for a call.
Carlos Gutierrez Garcia: J♦9♠
Dara O’Kearney: 7♦3♥Two pairs were good, and O’Kearney took down a small one.

Eloy Cordoba: J♠8♠
Dara O’Kearney: A♠10♦O’Kearney maintained his lead on the 5♥6♥Q♣ flop. He cemented it on the A♣ turn, and after the 4♣, he knocked out Cordoba in twenty-third place for €1,350.

Action went check-check on the 2♥A♠9♠ flop. O’Kearney check-called a 40,000 bet from Cruz on the 6♠ turn. The Irishman checked for a third time on the J♦ river, and was then faced with an 80,000 bet from Cruz. After spending perhaps one minute in the tank, O’Kearney decided to fold. It may not sound like a massive pot, but O’Kearney did, in fact, lose a considerable amount of his stack.

Martin Scores Double Knockout; Wins Humungous Pot

Photo: Nunzia Esposito Level 19: 8,000/16,000 (16,000) Entries: 30/383 Prizes: €170,435 Fairly short-stacked Hugo Benitez opened to 180,000 from UTG+1, leaving himself with 20,000 behind. Jose Maria Nieto Martin then moved all-in for roughly 800,000 from the Hi-jack. The decision eventually came to Benyamin Canatan on the Button, who committed his 620,000 to make the call. When action was back on Benitez, he put in his last chips to make the call.
Jose Maria Nieto Martin: Q♦Q♥
Benyamin Canatan: J♠J♦
Hugo Benitez: J♥10♥Things were looking good for Martin to score a double knockout. The 2♣7♦9♦ flop didn’t threaten his ladies. The turn was the 10♦, and for good measure, Martin improved to a set on the Q♣ river. As such, he sent two players to the rail and improved his stack significantly.
Jose Maria Nieto Martin: 1,650,000
Benyamin Canatan: 0

O’Carroll Survives

Annette O’Carroll. Photo: Nunzia Esposito Level 19: 8,000/16,000 (16,000) Entries: 37/383 Prizes: €170,435 Action folded to Antonio Ramon Munoz, who min-raised to 32,000 on the Button. When the decision was on Irish poker legend Annette O’Carroll, she peeked at her hole cards, did the math in her head, then moved all in for 180,000 on the dot. Munoz made the call without hesitation.
Annette O’Carroll: A♣8♥
Antonio Ramon Munoz: J♣J♦“That’s bad news for me,” O’Carroll declared as she saw Munoz’s hand. The Poker Gods were looking out for O’Carroll, though; she took a commanding lead on the 6♥8♠8♣ flop, and the Q♥Q♣ runout sealed the deal. With a full house, she doubled through Munoz.
Antonio Ramon Munoz: 538,000

Time is of the Essence

Photo: Nunzia Esposito Level 18: 6,000/12,000 (12,000) Entries: 40/383 Prizes: €170,435 Bulgaria’s Ivan Ivanov opened to 25,000 from the Cut-off and was then faced with a 90,000 three-bet from Francisco Garrido Cruz in the Big Blind. Ivanov snap-called the raise.
Cruz pondered for a minute before continuing for 50,000 on the 3♥A♠8♠ flop. Again, Ivanov made the call faster than the speed of lightning. Cruz checked the 5♠ turn, and Ivanov checked back within a split second. The exact same scenario played out on the J♠ river.
Francisco Garrido Cruz: K♦J♦
Ivan Ivanov: A♣Q♣Maybe Ivanov has somewhere to be and wanted to speed up the game. Hopefully for him, it’s going to be a long night until he reaches the final table.
Francisco Garrido Cruz: 1,300,000

Boatman Bids Farewell

Barny Boatman. Photo: Nunzia Esposito Level 18: 6,000/12,000 (12,000) Entries: 42/383 Prizes: €170,435 2024 EPT Paris Main Event winner Barny Boatman opened to 25,000 on the Button. Seated in the Small Blind, Jack Sambrook three-bet to 65,000. Back to Boatman, then, who four-bet to 125,000, leaving himself with 40,000 behind. Sambrook forced his opponent all-in for 175,000 in total, and Boatman, naturally, made the call.
Jack Sambrook: Q♠Q♣
Barny Boatman: A♠J♠Boatman was trailing. He picked up a straight draw on the Q♣K♣5♥, while Sambrook improved to a set. Boatman was left drawing dead on the K♦ turn; the A♣ river was dealt for ceremonial reasons. With his full house, Sambrook eliminated Boatman in forty-third place for €1,000.
Jack Sambrook: 1,180,000

Bubble has Burst; Players Are in the Money

Photo: Nunzia Esposito Level 17: 5,000/10,000 (10,000) Entries: 55/383 Prizes: €170,435 Action folded to Geron Dalipi, who opened to 16,000 on the Button. Seated in the Small Blind, Andres Herrera three-bet to 50,000, and Dalipi made the call.
Herrera continued with a 45,000 bet on the 7♥3♦Q♠ flop. After a minute’s worth of pondering, Dalipi moved all in for 215,000. Herrera made the call faster than you could say “Vamos rápido,” and soon, the players were given the green light by the floor to turn over their cards.
Geron Dalipi: Q♥J♣
Andres Herrera: Q♣3♥Herrera was way ahead with two-pair, and Dalipi didn’t manage to catch up as the board completed with 6♣8♠. As such, Dalipi became the unfortunate bubble boy, going out in fifty-sixth place. As he exited the tournament area, the remaining players could breathe a sigh of relief; they’ve now secured a €1,000 min-cash.
Andres Herrera: 665,000

Hero Call Sees Chopped Pot

Photo: Nunzia Esposito Level 15: 3,000/6,000 (6,000) Entries: 58/383 Prizes: €170,435 Matthew Warrie made it 16,000 UTG. Seated in the Small Blind, Rodrigo Araujo was the sole caller.
Araujo check-called a 16,000 bet from Warrie on the 7♣K♣4♥ flop. Action went check-check on the K♠ turn, and on the J♣, it was Araujo who claimed the driver’s seat, as he bet 45,000. After some consideration, Warrie made the call.
Rodrigo Araujo: A♠Q♣
Matthew Warrie: A♥Q♦A nice hero call from Warrie, but it only earned him 50% of the pot. PartyPoker Team Pro is seated at the same table, enjoying a good book.

Dalipi has a Set; Bubble is Approaching

Photo: Nunzia Esposito Level 15: 3,000/6,000 (6,000) Entries: 58/383 Prizes: €170,435 Geron Dalipi opened to 12,000 from the Hi-jack. He got two customers: Carlos Gutierrez Garcia called from the Small Blind, and Ruben Perez Correa joined the fun from the Big Blind.
Action was checked to Dalipi on the 9♦K♥3♥ flop, and he continued for 10,000. Garcia called before Correa got out of the way. Garcia check-called a 16,000 bet from Dalipi on the 7♥ turn, and the dealer then revealed the A♠ river. Garcia checked again, and Dalipi now bet 22,000. After two minutes’ worth of consideration, Garcia made the call. Dalipi turned over 3♠3♣ for a flopped set, and Garcia acknowledged the strength of his opponent’s hand.
The €500 Main Event is now down to 58 players, meaning three more will go out before the 55 remaining are all guaranteed a €1,000 min-cash.

Lamb Folds a Monster

Aguilera put out a 20,000 continuation bet on the 7♥2♥2♠ flop, and Lamb wasted little time before raising to 50,000. After a minute’s worth of consideration, Augilera forced his opponent all in for 295,000 in total. Lamb looked visibly troubled, and after considering his options for a good three minutes, he folded, revealing his K♥K♣ holdings. Aguilera looked surprised over the fold; he turned over his hand, Q♥10♥, before raking in the pot.
Jose Aguilera: 835,000

O’Kearney Wins Big Pot Right Before the Break

Dara O’Kearney. Photo: Nunzia Esposito Level 15: 3,000/6,000 (6,000) Entries: 68/383 Prizes: €170,435 The remaining 68 players in Day 2 of the €500 Main Event are now on a 25-minute break. Just before the break, a big hand played out at Table 24.
Adrian Creagh opened to 10,000 from the Lo-jack. Daniel Ciancio then three-bet to 30,000 from the Cut-off. Next, Gonzalo Rodriguez four-bet shoved for roughly 160,000. As if things weren’t already crazy enough, Dara O’Kearney then five-bet shoved, having Rodriguz covered. Creagh folded, and so did Ciancio, albeit after spending at least four minutes in the tank.
Gonzalo Rodriguez: A♦K♣
Dara O’Kearney: K♠K♦Rodriguez was in rough shape, and he didn’t manage to find an ace or any other help as the board spelled out 4♠K♥Q♥4♥10♥. As such, he was eliminated, and O’Kearney secured a very respectable stack right before the break.
Dara O’Kearney: 500,000

Jiménez Cruising

Bárbara Jiménez. Photo: Nunzia Esposito Level 14: 2,000/5,000 (5,000) Entries: 71/383 Prizes: €170,435 Luke Bird limped UTG. Carlos Alonso made the call from the Small Blind before PartyPoker Tour Ambassador Barbara Jiménez checked from the Big Blind.
After an initial check from Alonso on the A♣K♥7♣ flop, Jiménez dipped her toes in the waters with a 10,000 bet. This was enough to scare both of her opponents away.
Not an exciting hand at all; this poker.pro live reporter just wanted an excuse to say that Jiménez has a very good stack.
Barbara Jiménez: 468,000

Jose Maria Rodriguez: 10♥10♦
Lucia Antunes: A♦K♠It was a classic coin flip situation, and Rodriguez’s pocket pair stood the test of time, as the board spelled out 9♠7♣4♥J♣7♥. He received a full double-up at the expense of Antunes.

Firaldo check-called a 10,000 bet from Huelve on the 3♠8♠6♥ flop. Action repeated itself on the 8♦ turn, the only difference being that Huelva now sized up to 25,000. Both players checked the 3♦ river.
Firaldo turned over A♦3♥ for a rivered full house and improved his stack by 50%.

Proimons check-called a 5,000 bet from Boatman on the 3♥Q♥J♣ flop. Both players checked the Q♣ turn and the 8♥ river. First to show, Proimos turned over 9♣8♦, and Boatman sighed as he mucked his hand.

Collette Stewart made the call from the Lo-jack, and the two of them were soon heads-up to the flop. “Watch out, Collette, I’ve got a monster,” Staples informed his combatant. “Shut up,” Stewart joked with her old friend, and the table shared a laugh.
Staples check-called a 7,000 bet from Stewart on the 6♣A♠3♠ flop. “There it is!” Staples screamed in joy as the dealer revealed the 9♥ turn. Yet, he decided to check, and Stewart checked behind. Staples checked for a third time on the 7♦ river, and Stewart bet 20,000. “Show the bluff,” Staples urged his opponent while throwing his cards in the middle. Stewart turned over the 3♥ as she raked in the pot.

Kevin Moreno made the call from UTG+1, before PartyPoker Tour Ambassador Barry Carter three-bet to 25,000 from the Cut-off. Monje and Moreno both decided to make the call.
Action was checked to Carter on the J♠4♣9♠ flop, and after doing the math, he moved all-in for what this poker.pro live reporter estimated to be 180,000. Monje called faster than the speed of lightning before Moreno mucked.
Barry Carter: K♥K♦
Ivan Monje: 4♦4♠Unfortunate from Carter, and the Q♥7♥ offered no consolation. As such, he became the first PartyPoker Tour Ambassador to bid farewell from Day 2 of the €500 Main Event.
Ivan Monje: 550,000

Rees fancied an 11,000 donk bet on the 8♠4♥3♣ flop, and Huelva was the sole caller. Rees kept going on the 10♣ turn with a 20,000 bet. Huelva stuck around, and the action then went check-check on the 10♦ river.
Rees turned over J♦8♦, and Huelva’s cards hit the muck.

Bourgeois Out First Hand

Blaise Bourgeois. Photo: Nunzia Esposito Level 12: 1,000/3,000 (3,000) Entries: 93/383 Prizes: €170,435 Blaise Bourgeois opened to 6,000 from the Lo-jack. Seated in the Small Blind, Luke Bird three-bet to 13,000. Bourgeois made the call.
Bird continued on the aggressive path with a 22,000 continuation bet on the 4♣Q♦3♥ flop, and Bourgeois made the call. On the 10♥ turn, Bird snap-shoved, effectively forcing Bourgeois all-in for 86,000. Without Hesitation, Bourgeois made the call.
Luke Bird: 2♠2♦
Blaise Bourgeois: Q♥10♠A dream scenario for Bourgeois, but poker can be a brutal game at times. The 2♥ river sawe Bird improving to bottom set, and as such, Bourgeois became one of the earlier casualties in Day 2.
Luke Bird: 256,000

The Calm Before the Storm

Photo: Nunzia Esposito It’s the penultimate day of the 2026 PartyPoker Tour Seville, and Day 2 of the €500 Main Event is going to be the golden nugget on today’s packed schedule.
The hyper-turbo flight that is Day 1d has concluded, sending another nine players into Day 2. That means that a total of 97 entries will start Day 2. Overall, the tournament scored 383 entries, translating to a €170,435 prize pool.
Today’s poker.pro live coverage will commence at 18:00 when Day 2 kicks off, and the poker.pro live reporter Christoffer Karlén won’t rest until the flight wraps up.

Top 10 All-Time Poker Earners at Casino Admiral Sevilla (March 2026)
With the 2026 PartyPoker Tour currently in town, it’s a good time to look at the biggest winners in Casino Admiral Sevilla’s history, courtesy of The Hendon Mob.

Top 10 All-Time Earners at Casino Admiral Sevilla, as of March 2026 Italy’s Federico Castiglioni sits atop the leaderboard, thanks entirely to his victory in the 2023 ESPT Sevilla Main Event, where he banked €73,290 ($78,360).
Hot on his heels is Ramon Fernandez with $77,526 in total earnings. The biggest piece of Spaniard’s winnings in the Casino Admiral came last month with a win at the Circuito Nacional de Poker Main Event for €60,000.
Rounding out the top three is André Franco from Portugal. Similar to Fernandez, a large portion of his earnings comes from the CNdP, where he secured €58,937 for winning a year earlier.
With the PartyPoker Tour in full swing and the €500 Main Event featuring another hyper starting flight today ahead of Day 2 later on, there’s a very good chance the eventual winner will climb straight into the Casino Admiral Sevilla top 10 once the dust settles, with currently sixth-placed Manuel Delgado already in a strong position after bagging the second-biggest stack from Day 1B

Barbara Jiménez: A♠8♥
Francisco Garrido Cruz: A♠8♥A♦Q♦Cruz had Jiménez covered, and in very rough shape. It was looking like this was going to be the hand. He maintained his lead on the 2♣9♠J♠ flop. He took an even firmer grip on the 6♠ turn. Poker can be a brutal game, though; Jiménez hit the magical 8♣ on the river to double up and extend the battle.

PartyPoker Tour Ambassador Barbara Jiménez wouldn’t allow it, as she put in an 850,000 raise from the Big Blind. Cruz decided to go for it; he moved all in for 5,625,000. Jiménez made the call, hoping to see Cruz off in second place.

He’s lost some small pots here and there, and then, the big one, when Jose Maria Nieto Martin doubled up against him.

Francisco Garrido Cruz opened to 320,000 on the button, and Barbara Jiménez called from the Small Blind. Then, Jose Agiluera moved all in for 1,795,000 from the Big Blind. Cruz let his hand go before Jiménez made the call.

All three players checked the A♠4♥5♦ flop. First to act, Jiménez then bet 275,000 on the A♥ turn. Aguilera made the call before Martin folded. The river was the A♦, and Jiménez now bet 500,000. After contemplating his decision for about one minute, Aguilera folded.

Jose Maria Nieto Martin: J♥10♠

Jose Lopez. Photo: Nunzia Esposito Level 25: 30,000/60,000 (60,000) Entries: 7/383 Prizes: €170,435 UTG, Jose Aguilera opened to 125,000. Action folded all the way to Jose Lopez, who decided to make the call from the Big Blind.
Action Went check-check on the 5♥9♦8♣ flop. Lopez dipped his toes in the Waters with a 110,000 bet on the 10♦ turn, and Aguilera made the call. Lopez continued on the aggressive path with a 195,000 bet on the A♦ river, and Aguilera then forced his opponent all in for 670,000 in total. Lopez snap-called.
Jose Aguilera: K♦Q♦
Jose Lopez: Q♣J♠Lopez’s turned straight was no match against Aguilera’s rivered nut flush. Lopez bid Farewell in eighth Place for €4,600, as Aguilera added chips to his stack. He claimed the chip lead, albeit by a small margin.

Barbara Jiménez. Photo: Nunzia Esposito Level 25: 30,000/60,000 (60,000) Entries: 8/383 Prizes: €170,435 UTG, Barbara Jiménez opened to 175,000. Jose Maria Nieto Martin then three-bet to 500,000 from the Cut-off. When action came back to Jiménez, she moved all in for 1,740,000. Martin made the call.
Barbara Jiménez: Q♠Q♥
Jose Maria Nieto Martin: A♦K♠This was the second time this final table Jiménez was up with pocket queens against ace-king, and once again, her ladies got the job done, as the board this time spelled out 4♣6♥5♣J♣J♠. For the third time during the nine-handed affair, she doubled up, this time at the expense of Martin.

Carlos Gutierrez Garcia. Photo: Nunzia Esposito Level 25: 30,000/60,000 (60,000) Entries: 8/383 Prizes: €170,435 After losing most of his chips to Barbara Jiménez, Carlos Gutierrez Garcia moved all in for 145,000 from the Small Blind. Receiving a good price, Jose Aguilera made the call from the Big Blind.
Carlos Gutierrez Garcia: A♦2♥
Jose Aguilera: 8♠7♦Garcia was ahead with the smallest of margins, but this would turn out not to be his day. Aguilera more or less flopped his opponent dead on 5♠6♦4♠. The 2♦A♥ runout didn’t bring a chop, and as such, Garcia became the first casualty of the final table, going out in ninth for €3,600.

Utterly Insane Hand Sees Jiménez Double

Barbara Jiménez. Photo: Nunzia Esposito Level 25: 30,000/60,000 (60,000) Entries: 9/383 Prizes: €170,435 Action folded to PartyPoker Tour Ambassador Barbara Jiménez, who open-shoved for 750,000 on the Button. Seated in the Big Blind, Carlos Gutierrez Garcia made the call.
Barbara Jiménez: A♥K♣
Carlos Gutierrez Garcia: 6♠6♣What followed was a runout that belonged in Hollywood. Jiménez took the lead on the A♦A♣4♠ flop. Garcia reclaimed the driver’s seat by some margin on the 6♦ turn, and Jiménez was now in rough shape. The Poker Gods were on her side, though; she improved to a superior full house on the 4♥ river. Jiménez earned herself a full double-up, while Garcia survived with crumbs.

Liano Wins Big One Aginst Lopez

Fernando Liano. Photo: Nunzia Esposito Level 24: 25,000/50,000 (50,000) Entries: 9/383 Prizes: €170,435 Seated in the Hi-jack, Fernando Liano opened to 100,000. Barbara Jiménez made the call from the Small Blind, and Jose Lopez joined the fun from the Big Blind.
Action was checked to Liano on the 8♦5♣2♥ flop, and he continued for 75,000. Jiménez made the call before Lopez raised to 260,000. Liano made the call, whilst Jiménez decided to let her hand go.
Lopez kept the aggression going with a 225,000 bet on the 8♥ turn, and Liano made the call once again. Lopez bet 350,000 on the A♥ river, leaving himself with 615,000 behind. Liano considered his options for one minute before forcing his opponent all in. Ultimately, Lopez decided to let his hand go.
Thanks to the stream, we know the players’ hole cards.

Correa swiftly folded before Martin snap-called.
Barbara Jiménez: Q♠Q♦
Jose Maria Nieto Martin: A♣K♠It was a classic coin flip situation, with Jiménez being the player at risk. The 4♦9♥5♣J♣J♠ flop favored her, though, and the short stack doubled up.

Matthew Wharrie: A♦9♥
Manuel Antonio Delgado: A♣J♠Wharrie was dominated, and he didn’t manage to overcome the odds on the K♣5♥7♥6♠Q♣ board. He was eliminated in tenth place for €3,000, and the nine-handed final table is now set.

Araujo Next One to Go

Photo: Nunzia Esposito Level 24: 25,000/50,000 (50,000) Entries: 11/383 Prizes: €170,435 The very next hand after Simon Marks’ exit in thirteenth place, Rodrigo Araujo moved all in for 135,000 from the Hi-jack (Araujo began Day 3 with 905,000, but was crippled after an early all-in encounter didn’t go his way). Jose Aguilera three-bet to 280,000 from the Button, before Manuel Antonio Delgado made it 1,000,000 from the Small Blind. Aguilera went out of the way, and Araujo was heads-up to the flop against Delgado.
Rodrigo Araujo: J♦7♣
Manuel Antonio Delgado: 7♥7♦Araujo was in rough shape, and the 5♠A♣6♣4♠Q♠ didn’t help him. All his chips went to Delgado, and he was eliminated in twelfth place for €2,500.

Simon Marks open-shoved for 430,000 from the Hi-jack. Jose Aguilera re-shoved for 770,000 from the Small Blind, and after Manuel Antonio Delgado folded his Big Blind, the two players turned over their cards.
Simon Marks: 6♥6♦
Jose Aguilera: A♥Q♥“Argh,” Marks sighed as Aguilera immediately connected on the 7♦A♦7♥ flop. No miracle for Marks on the K♦7♣ runout, and he became the first Day 3 casualty, going out in thirteenth for €2,500.

Top 10 All-Time Poker Earners at Casino Admiral Sevilla (March 2026)
With the 2026 PartyPoker Tour currently in town, it’s a good time to look at the biggest winners in Casino Admiral Sevilla’s history, courtesy of The Hendon Mob.

Top 10 All-Time Earners at Casino Admiral Sevilla, as of March 2026 Italy’s Federico Castiglioni sits atop the leaderboard, thanks entirely to his victory in the 2023 ESPT Sevilla Main Event, where he banked €73,290 ($78,360).
Hot on his heels is Ramon Fernandez with $77,526 in total earnings. The biggest piece of Spaniard’s winnings in the Casino Admiral came last month with a win at the Circuito Nacional de Poker Main Event for €60,000.
Rounding out the top three is André Franco from Portugal. Similar to Fernandez, a large portion of his earnings comes from the CNdP, where he secured €58,937 for winning a year earlier.
With the PartyPoker Tour in full swing and the €500 Main Event featuring another hyper starting flight today ahead of Day 2 later on, there’s a very good chance the eventual winner will climb straight into the Casino Admiral Sevilla top 10 once the dust settles, with currently sixth-placed Manuel Delgado already in a strong position after bagging the second-biggest stack from Day 1B
