The fourth day of the 2026 PartyPoker Tour Seville was arguably the most significant day of the festival so far, with the conclusion of the €150 Mini Main Event. It was a star-spangled final table featuring PartyPoker Tour Ambassador Niall “Firaldo” Farrell, WSOP Circuit Ring Winner Peggy “Pocket Peg” Crawford, and others. In the end, though, the win was claimed by a native player, ensuring the trophy stayed on Spanish soil. What’s more, 30 players made it through from the first starting-day flight of the €500 Main Event, and the €100 PLO Masters 4/5/6 saw another side event trophy going out.
Anguas Takes the Cake
There’s no doubt that Casino Admiral is the place to be this week for all live poker enthusiasts in Spain. The 2026 PartyPoker Tour Seville has passed the halfway mark, and the most intriguing tournament so far has, undoubtedly, been the Mini Main Event. The first starting-day flight set the tone when it became the biggest-ever Day 1 of the Mini Main Event of the PartyPoker Tour, and the €50,000 guarantee was absolutely shattered as the 653 total entries translated into a €81,625 prize pool.

Day 3 kicked off at 20:00 on Thursday, March 19, and the 14 players who survived Day 2 took their seats, eager to pick up the fight for the €15,920 first-place payout. Leading the field was Crawford with 30 Big Blinds, but anything could happen; just to give some perspective, Firaldo was in fifth place on the chip counts with 25 Big Blinds.
It was Crawford who managed to extend her lead somewhat against the rest of the field during the earlier stages. Jose Mario Lozana Granjo eventually busted in tenth place for €880, and the nine-handed final table was set.
Hady Sirbu would become the first casualty, bidding farewell in ninth place for €1,120. He got it in good on the turn with two-pairs, but Carlos Gomez rivered a superior one, earning a considerable pot that saw him climb to the top of the chip counts. He was soon joined on the rail by Firaldo. It’s an educated guess that the Scottish poker legend was the favorite of many to win the tournament, and things were looking good for him until his pocket kings were cracked by the ace-ten of Juan Anguas. This crippled Firaldo, and just a few hands later, he moved all in with king-jack, coming up short against the ace-eight of Oscar Rodriguez. Firaldo had to settle for €1,430 after finishing in eighth place.
Crawford had displayed great poker skills throughout the tournament, and as previously mentioned, she had earned herself great presumptions for a super-deep run. Unfortunate for her, she lost the majority of her stack as she moved all in with a semi-bluff on the turn, running into the flush of Araujo. Soon thereafter, she got her last seven Big Blinds in the middle with king-queen, unable to beat the ace-ten of Anguas. For her seventh-place finish, Crawford earned €1,780.
All six remaining players were all waving the Spanish flag, and they decided to do a deal straight after Crawford’s exit. This saw Araujo securing the biggest amount, €8,150; however, play continued with an extra €4,000 up-top for the winner, alongside the coveted trophy. Chips were trading owners back and forth, but Anguas took a solid lead after eliminating Fernando Banda in sixth place for €5,170. It was an all-in pre-flop encounter, where Anguas’ ace-king held up against the ace-eight of Banda.
Rodriguez was the next one to hit the rail. He got it on good with king-queen against the jack-ten of Araujo, but the latter improved to a pair of tens on the turn. Rodriguez wasn’t able to reclaim the driver’s seat on the dull river, and as such, he had to settle forr €6,190 after going out in fifth place.
Not being particularly deep-stacked, the pre-flop action was immense with four players left. Gilberto Lopez became the next to fall with king-ten against the ace-nine of Araujo, and he went to collect €7,135 for his achievements. Three players left, then, and Carlos Gomez would soon enough be the third-place finisher for €6,900, after getting it in with king-deuce against the king-eight of Araujo. As such, the stage was set for a heads-up showdown between Araujo and Anguas, with Araujo holding a two-to-one chip lead.
Anguas was up for the task, though, and he managed to make the stacks even. Both players were soon playing roughly 30 Big Blinds each, and they then clashed all-in preflop, Araujo being the player at risk. He had a pretty hand, jack-nine suited, but he received no help on the board to beat the king-ten of Anguas. The dealer counted the stacks to make sure that Araujo indeed had the shorter stack, and the sizes were soon confirmed. That settled it; Araujo was eliminated in second place for €8,150, while Anguas took home €9,770 in total, the stunning trophy, and the €150 Mini Main Event title.
