After the stop in Madrid, London will host the 888poker Live London Festival from April 13 to 24, which will take place at the prestigious Grosvenor Victoria Casino (The VIC) located in the heart of the city. 888 maintains its commitment to its fans to offer them the best and most varied gaming offer from the responsibility of their actions and always in a safe and regulated environment.
As exciting as the Main Event of the Madrid round has been, a tournament that surpassed its guaranteed prize and ended with the victory of the player from Alicante, Adrián García, who pocketed the € 92,000 destined for the champion. But let's go in parts.
Without a doubt, the Principal Event or Main Event was the highlight and has given a good idea of what the Madrid parade has been like. With a buy-in of 888 euros, it began on Thursday the 16th at Casino Gran Vía with Day 1A, where 108 registrations were obtained with 11 levels of 45 minutes.
Day 1B increased to 129 entries and Day 1C reached 198 registrations that already exceeded the € 300,000 guaranteed prize-pool
On Day 1D the bag continued to grow with 98 new registrations. In this way, and once the first level of play was finished, the Main Event field rose to 514 entries with a prize pool of € 415,312 to be distributed among the first 53 positions in the tournament.
Madrid has been the capital of European poker for eleven days. And it is that the 888poker Live Madrid festival has just given the starting signal for a new season of face-to-face poker that promises to be exciting.
There were 39 last survivors who fought for the final victory on the third day and four Spanish players who reached the final table. Among them, Lucía Navarro recently appointed 888poker ambassador. The elimination rate was hectic and Lucía finished in fourth position. The last three players were the Portuguese Ricardo Mateus who was eliminated getting € 39,600 to leave the heads up between the Russian Oleg Bystrenin and the Spanish Adrián García. In the end it was Adrián who came away with the victory and that incredible € 92,000 while Oleg achieved € 60,000. And so the Main Event ended.
