The 2026 PartyPoker Tour Seville has come to an end. The English dictionary lacks words to describe how successful this event has been; the word “Extraordinary” will have to do. The conclusion of the €500 Main Event was the highlight of the seventh and final day of the week-long festival, and it saw Francisco Garrido emerging victorious, defeating PartyPoker Tour Ambassador Barbara Jiménez. The €250 PLO Masters Main Event also crowned its champion on Sunday, and, last but not least, three more players emerged victorious in various side events.
A Thrilling Affair
Already from the start, the 2026 PartyPoker Tour Seville exceeded expectations. It all started off with the first starting-day flight of the €150 Mini Main Event becoming the biggest of its kind, and that set the tone in Admiral Casino. The action only ramped up during every day of the festival, and all presumptions were in place for Sunday, March 22, to be a thrilling conclusion of the tour’s inaugural event on Spanish soil.

The most exciting affair on the final day was arguably the conclusion of the €500 Main Event. The tournament’s four starting-day flights combined scored 383 entries, meaning the total prize pool read €170,435, loads more than the initial €100,000 guarantee. Ninety-six players started Day 2, and 55 of them were guaranteed a €1,000 min-cash. The penultimate day lasted roughly 11 hours before the thirteen remaining players bagged their chips. They returned at 17:00 the next day, ready to resume the battle for eternal poker glory.
Day 3 was off to a hectic start, to say the least. Simon Marks, Rodriguo Araujo, Jonathan Rees, and Matthew Wharrie were all eliminated within the first 30 minutes, which meant the nine-handed final table was set. Considering that Marks, Rees, and Wharrie were the only non-Spanish players, all players on the final table were waving the red/yellow flag, ensuring the trophy will stay on Spanish soil.
Arguably, one of the most exciting names on the final table was Barbara Jiménez. The PartyPoker Tour Ambassador was the only player left in the field wearing the PartyPoker patch in an official capacity. She had her work cut out for her, though, as she began the nine-handed affair at the bottom of the chip counts. It was Jiménez, though, who began the final table running the hottest. Early on, she picked up Q♠Q♦, got all her money in pre-flop against the A♣K♠ of Jose Maria Nieto Martin, and managed to win the flip for a full double-up.
A while later, she doubled up again, this time against Carlos Gutierrez Garcia, in the most flabbergasting fashion. It was once again an all-in and call pre-flop scenario, this time with Jiménez holding the A♥K♣. She took a solid lead over Garcia’s 6♠6♣ on the A♦A♣4♠ flop, but Garcia reclaimed the driver’s seat with a firm grip on the 6♦ turn. Yet, Jiménez improved to a superior full house on the 4♥ river, leaving Garcia with less than three Big Blinds. The very next hand, Garcia shoved from the Small Blind with A♦2♥, getting called by Jose Aguilera, who received a good price from the Big Blind. Aguilera, who had 8♠7♦, flopped his opponent dead on 5♠6♦4♠, and as such, Garcia became the first casualty of the final table, earning €3,600 for his ninth-place finish.
Jiménez’s rungood was not over yet. Soon, it was déjà vu, as she clashed all-in against Martin for the second time, with the exact same hands. Once again, Jiménez’s Q♠Q♥ stood the test of time against Martin’s A♦K♠. With this win, Jiménez claimed the chip lead, which was quite remarkable given that, as previously stated, she started at the bottom of the chip counts. She held it for roughly 30 minutes, until Jose Lopez went out in eighth place for €4,600. Lopez had turned a straight with Q♣J♠ on 5♥9♦8♣10♦, but had been re-raised all in by Jose Aguilera on the A♦ river. Lopez snap-called for his tournament life, and saw the bad news in the form of Aguilera’s K♦Q♦ holdings.
That particular hand saw Aguilera claiming the chip lead, but after a few more orbits, he dropped to second place on the chip counts once the first break commenced. The chip lead belonged to Manuel Antonio Delgado at this point, with Aguilera and Jiménez both breathing down his neck. Play soon resumed, and within the first few hands, Fernando Liano became the next casualty, courtesy of Aguilera. The players clashed all-in preflop, and Aguilera’s A♠Q♠ immediately connected on the A♣6♠K♦ flop to take the lead over Liano’s 9♦9♣. No help for Liano on the 8♥K♠ runout, and as he headed to collect a €6,000 paycheck for his seventh-place finish, Aguilera advanced to the top of the rankings.
This was really when Aguilera put the pedal to the metal. Being arguably the most experienced player on the table (with a tenth-place finish in the legendary $10,000 Main Event during the 2023 WSOP), he utilized his chip lead in textbook fashion, putting immense pressure on his opponents. He extended his lead even further, and things were getting more and more critical for the shorter stacks. Soon enough, Manuel Antonio Delgado moved all in for 12 Big Blinds with Q♥J♣ on the Button after an initial min-raise from Martin, seated in the Hi-jack. Martin made the call with 9♠9♦, and as the A♣A♦3♣6♥8♥ board didn’t help Delgado, he became the next one to go. He received €7,600 for his sixth-place finish.
The five remaining contestants went on a 45-minute dinner break, perhaps enjoying the €10 Black Angus burger at the casino bar, which poker.pro Christoffer Karlén had far too many of the last week. They resumed play around 22:30, with Aguilera being the current chip leader. He would soon improve his stack even further; short-stacked Ruben Perez Correa open-shoved his last three Big Blinds from the Button with A♦J♠, and Aguelira received too good a price from the Big Blind. He made the call with Q♣10♦, immediately overtook the lead on the 5♦Q♠8♦ flop, and the 5♥6♥ runout offered Correa zero consolation. He had to settle for a €9,400 payout after finishing fifth.
Things were looking really good for Aguilera with four players left. That being said, anything can happen in poker, and Aguilera started losing some smaller pots. Then, he lost a big one against Jose Maria Nieto Martin, who doubled up with K♠K♣ against Aguilera’s A♦8♣. Before you knew it, Aguilera became the shortest stack, almost out of all sudden. Soon enough, he four-bet shoved with 10♥10♦ from the Big Blind, and Jiménez made the call with A♥K♠. Jiménez kept winning the flips, and as she sent Aguilera to the rail in fourth place for €11,400, she became the first one to reach an eight-digit stack in the Main Event. Just a couple of minutes later, she had another classic coin flip confrontation, this time against Martin. For the third time during the final table, Jiménez’s Q♠Q♥ held against A♦K♥, and as Martin went out in third for €14,400, Jiménez and Francisco Garrido were now heads-up, with Jiménez holding a two-to-one chip lead.
Jiménez had Garrido all-in already on the second hand of the duel, looking to connect with A♦J♠ against 3♠3♦. The board ran out clean for Garrido, though, who flipped the script, claiming the chip lead. He utilized his chip lead to eat up the Jiménez stack bit by bit, and soon enough, it was Garrido who had Jiménez on the ropes for the title. Jiménez was in rough shape with A♠8♥ against Garrido’s A♦Q♦ in the all-in pre-flop encounter, but the Poker Gods extended her tournament life in the most dramatic fashion, as she hit a crucial three-outer on the river to double up, evening out the stacks.
Fifteen minutes later, the two contestants clashed all-in pre-flop again. Jiménez was looking to produce a miracle with A♥9♥ against Garrido’sJ♥J♦ holdings. The board spelled out 4♣5♣2♠Q♦K♠, and that settled it. PartyPoker Tour Ambassador Jiménez finished as the runner-up for €20,035, while Garrido could celebrate. He emerged victorious in the 2026 PartyPoker Tour Seville, claiming the €30,500 first-place payout, the coveted trophy, and the ever-so prestigious title.

JJ Hazan, Diaz, and More Claim Side Event Titles
While Garrido’s Main Event win has to be considered the highlight of Sunday’s action, there was far more going on at Admiral Casino. The €250 PLO Masters Main Event was the other multi-day tournament that crowned a winner on the festival’s final day. All in all, the four starting-day flights registered 75 entries, creating a €16,125 prize pool. The series’ founder, JJ Hazan, was one of the players taking his seat on Day 2, on a mission to capture “his own” title. The poker.pro live reporter had a chat with JJ Hazan earlier during the festival, during which he stated that it’s a challenge to run the PLO Masters in Spain; four-card shenanigans are far from the favorite game amongst Spaniards.
Nevertheless, JJ Hazan was satisfied with the turnout given the presumptions, and he and the 17 other Day 2 competitors took it to the tables at 18:00. Eleven of them would be guaranteed a €500 min-cash, and at the top was a juicy €5,100 waiting for the winner. From the get-go, JJ Hazan’s table featured a thrilling line-up, starring himself, PartyPoker Tour Ambassador Sam Acheampong, fellow ambassador and International poker legend Niall “Firaldo” Farrell, and poker media guru David Lappin. Funny enough, it was JJ Hazan who prevailed in the end, capturing the second Main Event title of his own series (he also won the £500 PLO Masters Main Event during the 2025 PartyPoker Tour Glasgow). JJ Hazan cemented his status as a PLO virtuoso.

That’s a wrap for the 2026 PartyPoker Tour Seville. To sound like a broken record and repeat a line from the intro of this post: the English dictionary lacks words to describe how successful this event has been; the word “Extraordinary” will have to do. It was the first-ever Spanish stop of the PartyPoker Tour, but it was far from the last one. May 11-17, the tour will return to the sunny paradise of a country, as Casino Gran Via in Madrid rolls out the red carpet.

Perhaps, Garrido will pay Madrid a visit and try to go for back-to-back Main Event titles. One thing’s for sure, though: the 2026 PartyPoker Tour has been off to a stellar start with the first two events in Sheffield and Seville, and somehow, it manages to become bigger and better for each and every event. The whole team at poker.pro is happy to be the tour’s official English media partner, and the excitement for the upcoming Madrid stop is beyond manageable.
