Spain's Top Poker Talent Spotted
He's arguably Spain's best tournament player, since it's hard to overlook the incredible list of results he's compiled in such a short timespan, and Adrian Mateos is here to put his skills to the test.
The young Spaniard burst onto the scene in 2013 when he won the World Series of Poker Europe Main Event for �1 million at the ripe old age of 19. He then won the Season 11 European Poker Tour Grand Final at age 20 this past May for �1.082 million. In total, Mateos has $3.5 million in live tournament earnings, including a cash in the WSOP Main Event this summer �� his first time being age eligible to play the event.
A lot of money is at stake again today, and Mateos faces accomplished pros Max Silver, Nick Petrangelo, and the most well-known and very successful NBA sports bettors, Haralabos Voulgaris.
