PartyPoker Tour Seville – Final Wrap
All good things come to an end.
Seville… what a week. From orange trees to live music, it really has been one heck of an experience and it has well and truly set the tone for what’s to come. Casino Admiral has been an incredible host and the poker itself was electric from start to finish.
Across the week, we saw a total of 1,715 entries, generating €364,840 in prizepools, and PartyPoker awarded over 250 online tickets worth more than €75,000.
So, let’s have a look at how it all wrapped up on Day 6.
At 3pm, the Mystery Bounty got things underway. It attracted 85 entries, generating €18,275 in prizepool, including €8,500 in bounties. Plenty of familiar faces jumped in, including PartyPoker Team members Natalie Bromley, Glenn Brown and Dani Garcia. A big shoutout to Alvaro Martinez, who pulled the biggest bounty of €2,000.
In the end, it was PartyPoker Team member Dani Garcia who took it down, picking up the trophy, €2,880 in prize money and a further €1,550 in bounties.
At 4pm, the NLH High Roller 7-Max was up next. It attracted 28 entries, generating a total prizepool of €25,200. In the field, we saw the likes of PartyPoker Ambassador Jaime Staples and Paddy Power Pro and Irish poker legend Dara O’Kearney. When it was all said and done, Antonio Reger Muñoz came out on top, taking home €11,100 and the trophy.
Then came the big one.
At 5pm, 13 players returned for the Final Day of the €500 Main Event. The event had attracted 383 entries and generated an overall prizepool of €170,435. At the start of the day, PartyPoker Tour Team member Barbara Jimenez was still very much in the mix, flying the flag for the team on home soil.
By 5:30pm, the final table was set and this is how it looked:
Seat 1 – Jose Maria Nieto Martin – 3.9M
Seat 2 – Francisco Liaño – 1.12M
Seat 3 – Francisco Garrido Cruz – 2.34M
Seat 4 – Manuel Antonio Delgado – 3.8M
Seat 5 – Barbara Jimenez – 870K
Seat 6 – Jose Lopez – 1.94M
Seat 7 – Carlos Gutierrez Garcia – 1.01M
Seat 8 – Jose Aguilera – 1.85M
Seat 9 – Ruben Perez Correa – 3.9M
A proper local affair, with all nine players representing Spain.
The Poker Red team, led by SantiJota, Baturro, MaxMaestro and DarkoRed, kept us entertained throughout the Live Stream, and if you missed it, you can still catch the action on the official PartyPoker YouTube Channel.
Once the photos were done, it was time to get down to business.
After seven hours of play, it came down to PartyPoker Tour Team member Barbara Jimenez and Francisco Garrido Cruz heads up. A great story either way, but in the end it was Francisco Garrido Cruz who got it over the line, taking home €30,500 and the PartyPoker Tour Main Event Seville trophy. Congratulations Francisco!
At 6pm, the Final Day of the PLO Masters got underway. The event attracted a total of 75 entries, generating a prizepool of €16,125. The likes of PartyPoker Tour members Niall Farrell and Sam Acheampong, PLO Masters mastermind JJ Hazan, PLO Masters London Grand Final winner Oliver Hutchins, as well as PokerStars Team Pro David Lappin, were amongst the 18 players who had made it through.
In the end, it came down to JJ Hazan and Miguel Angel Rodriguez, and it was PLO Mastermind JJ Hazan who took home the trophy and €5,100 for first place. Go JJ!
At 8pm, the final tournament of the day, and the festival, got underway. The Sunday Last Chance Turbo NLH Double Board attracted 66 entries, generating a prizepool of €5,610. Everyone wanted one last shot at the final trophy, so familiar faces including PartyPoker Tour members Natalie Bromley, Glenn Brown, Sam Acheampong, Rebecca Hardisty and Barry Carter, alongside PokerStars Team Pro David Lappin, were all seen at the tables.

PartyPoker Tour Seville – Day 6
At one point in history, specifically during the 16th and 17th centuries, Seville’s Guadalquivir River turned the city into one of the richest in the world, as it controlled all trade with the New World. Yes, for more than two centuries, everything that crossed the Atlantic, gold, silver, spices and people, had to pass through here.
Casino Admiral, like the Sevillian river, was flowing with chips, prizes and deep runs on this 6th and penultimate day of the PartyPoker Tour.
At 12:00pm, the final flight, Day 1D Hyper of the Main Event, took off. It attracted 35 entries, with 9 getting through to Day 2. Top chip leaders included Neil Higgins (271,000 chips), Francisco Garrido Cruz (269,000 chips) and Annette O’Carroll (266,000 chips).
At 4pm, Day 1B of the PLO Masters was underway. It attracted 31 entries, with 6 players getting through to Day 2. The top chipleaders were Rodger Parr (356,000 chips), PartyPoker Tour London Grand Final PLO Masters winner Oliver Hutchins (330,000 chips) and Spaniard Joaquin Castillo (324,000 chips). PartyPoker Tour Team members Sam “Hoooooooold” Acheampong and Niall “Triple Crown Winner” Farrell also made it to Day 2.
At the same time, the NLH tournament sponsored by Faded Spade also started. It attracted 72 entries, generating a total prizepool of €12,240. In the end, David Anthony Pollock was victorious, collecting €3,750 in prize money and the sought-after PartyPoker Tour trophy.
At 6pm, Day 2 of the Main Event was underway, with a grand total of 96 players returning. The event generated 383 entries and an overall prizepool of €170,435, meaning that 55 players will be paid. Familiar faces that made it through to Day 2 included PartyPoker Team members Barbara Jimenez, Niall “Triple Crown Winner” Farrell, Barry Carter and Joe Beevers, as well as PartyPoker Ambassador Jaime Staples, WSOP Ring winner Blaise Bourgeois, Paddy Power Pro Dara O’Kearney and PokerStars Team Pro David Lappin.
Around 10pm, the bubble burst and the unfortunate bubble boy was Geron Dalipi, meaning the remaining 55 players were all in the money. Check out Poker.PRO to find out exactly what happened.
At the end of the day, 13 players were left standing. The top chipleaders are Ruben Perez Correa (3.79 million chips), Manuel Antonio Delgado (2.67 million chips) and Jose Maria Nieto Martin (1.99 million chips). PartyPoker Tour newest addition Barbara Jimenez is also still in with 1.13 million chips, as well as PLO Masters 4/5/6 winner Jonathan Rees with 770,000 chips.
The Live Stream kicked off at 8:15pm, with a 30-minute delay, thanks to our incredible team at Poker Red, with Spanish commentators SantiJota, Baturro, MaxMaestro and DarkoRed.
At 9pm, Tennessee Hold’em cards were in the air. This is the first time that Scott Hill, the man behind this fascinating new variant, has brought the tournament to Spain. The tournament saw record attendance, attracting 29 entries, just edging past the 22 entries at PartyPoker Tour Glasgow. Familiar faces included PartyPoker Tour member Rebecca Hardisty. As always, a lot of fun was had at the tables and the three top finishers, Danny Ryder, Joshua Ben Rigby and Rebecca Hardisty, took home special Tennessee Hold’em trophies (Gold, Silver and Bronze), a good old bottle of Jack Daniel’s, in true Tennessee style, and the prize money.
At 10pm, the final flight, Day 1C of the PLO Masters, saw the first hands dealt. It attracted 22 entries, with 6 getting through to Day 2. Top chip leaders included William Collins (336,000 chips), Kevin Ferrer (170,000 chips) and Tony Reilm (152,000 chips). PokerStars Team Pro David Lappin also made it through to Day 2 with 73,000 chips.

PartyPoker Tour Seville – Day 5
Seville is a very warm city, from the people to the weather. It can get pretty hot and, because of that, it is very easy to find yourself strolling down the many patios and entering the many bars on every corner to quench your thirst. If you’re lucky enough, you might even come across a bar that serves Sevillian Orange Wine. Considering there are over 50,000 orange trees, it only makes sense that some would be used for a beverage of sorts. The heat was not to be found outside on this rare occasion, but inside Casino Admiral this was certainly not the case.
Day 5 was really on fire.
It all started at 11am with the PartyPoker Staff & Ambassador Sit n Go. Newest addition to the PartyPoker Team member Rebecca Hardisty took home the trophy after going heads up against her brother-in-law and PartyPoker Ambassador Matt Staples. You go Rebecca!
At 2pm, Day 1B of the €500 Main Event was underway. Attracting a total of 166 entries, 42 players made it through to Day 2. The field included the likes of Irish poker legends Annette O’Carroll, Ray Masters and regular on the Irish Poker Tour circuit Adrian Creagh, who also played on the Feature Table. We also saw Paddy Power Pro Dara O’Kearney, as well as PartyPoker Team members Natalie Bromley and Joe Beevers.
But the big story of the day was that around Level 3, the €100,000 GTD was already hit. With two more flights to come, that was excellent news. The top chipleaders were Andres Herrera (493,000 chips), Manuel Antonio Delgado (485,000 chips) and Jorge Ruiz (484,000 chips). Notable players who also made it through to Day 2 were PartyPoker Tour members Niall Farrell, Barry Carter (I know right!), Dani Garcia and PartyPoker Ambassador Jaime Staples.
At 6pm, Day 1A of the PLO Masters commenced. Miguel Angel Rodriguez got through to Day 2 with 496,000 chips as well as JJ Hazan with 398,000 chips. There is so much to play for still, so make sure to register for the remaining flights.
We know that the PartyPoker Tour is not only about poker, so on the break of the Main Event, a couple of members of PartyPoker staff got on stage and provided everyone with a wee live concert. A mix of international classics and Spanish favourites, the poker room, for 30 minutes, turned into a mini club, with trains, dancing, jumping and singing. It was a very wholesome moment indeed.
At 9pm, the Poker.Pro Friday Party Madness Crazy Pineapple Bounty started. The tournament attracted 138 entries and generated a total prizepool, including bounties, of €6,900. In the field, we saw some very familiar faces, including PartyPoker Team member Glenn Brown and Poker.PRO blogger Christoffer Karlén. Ultimately, it was Victor Guilherme Cabral Da Luz Almeida who took home the glory, the top prize money and the trophy.
At 10pm, Day 1C of the Main Event kicked off. Attracting 64 entries, with 16 players making it through to Day 2. Top chipleaders of this flight were Antonio Ramon Muñoz (549,000 chips), Colette Stewart (375,000 chips) and Gilberto Lopez (352,000 chips).
With two days to go, we are now starting the final countdown, so let’s have a look at what Day 6 has in store for us.

PartyPoker Tour Seville – Day 4
There is a very famous story that says the reason there are so many orange trees in Seville is that the rind was used in the production of gunpowder. It is not proven, but if yesterday’s day at Casino Admiral was anything to go by, you might think it to be true because the action in the poker room was explosive, to say the least.
Day 3 started at 5pm with the big one, the €500 Main Event with €100,000 GTD. Some genuine legends graced us with their presence, amongst them recently acquired PokerStars Team PRO David Lappin, congratulations Mr Lappin! The one and only Barny Boatman, one of the original co-founders of The Hendon Mob, alongside his brother Ross, PartyPoker Tour Team member Joe Beevers and Ram Vaswani, with total live earnings of $5,753,263, according, of course, to The Hendon Mob. We also saw the newest Seville local PartyPoker Team member Barbara Jimenez. All three made it through to Day 2.
This first flight attracted a total of 118 entries, with 30 making it through to Day 2, and the top chipleaders are Nicholas Gloreiou (461,000 chips), Ivan Monje (401,000 chips) and Hugo Benitez (389,000 chips).
At 7pm, the PLO Masters kicked off, and what an explosive surprise it was. The tournament attracted an incredible 71 entries and generated a total prizepool of €8,875. Mixed games are not a Spanish favourite, but in recent times they have become a bit of a trend and seem to be on the up. Familiar faces included PartyPoker Tour members Barry Carter, Glenn Brown, Sam Acheampong and Rebecca Hardisty, as well as PokerStars Team PRO David Lappin and PLO Masters mastermind JJ Hazan. In the end, only one can take home the trophy and the top prize. After a three way deal, Jonathan David Rees took home €2,015 and the trophy.
At 8pm, the whole place was on fire as the final 14 players of the Mini Main Event came back. At the start of play, the top chipleaders were Peggy Crawford (2,995,000), Juanmi Cubero (2,925,000) and Rodriguez Ialamonte (2,850,000). In fifth place, with 2,490,000 chips, the newest addition to the PartyPoker Tour Team, Scotsman Niall “Triple Crown Winner” Farrell, was also ready to play to the very end.
Around 9:30pm, the final table was set and this is what it looked like:
Seat 1: Peggy Crawford – 4,755,000
Seat 2: Gilberto Lopez – 4,435,000
Seat 3: Carlos Gomez – 3,460,000
Seat 4: Niall Farrell – 3,230,000

After Peggy was eliminated in 7th, an ICM deal was made amongst the six remaining Spanish players, with the remaining €4,000 and the trophy going to the winner. Details of the deal can be found at Poker.PRO.
Today also marked the start of the Cards Up Live Stream with our friends at Poker Red. The likes of Spanish commentators SantiJota, Baturro, MaxMaestro y DarkoRed kept us entertained until the early hours. In the end, Juan Anguas won this massively successful event, taking home €9,770 in prize money and the highly coveted PartyPoker Tour Trophy. Congratulations Juan, very well deserved.
The Football Prediction Tournament was another huge success. We had 44 entries and here are our five winners.
In first place, Juan Carlos Alonso Ortiz (7/10), with the win decided by the tie-breaker question.
In second place, Jonathan David Rees (7/10), also decided by the tie-breaker.

PartyPoker Tour Seville – Day 3 Update
Oh Seville! What a city! With your world’s largest Gothic cathedral, your Flamenco soul, this is the city where Flamenco was born, and your love for football, with Real Betis and Seville FC as the local teams, you have stolen our hearts.
The powers that be even said it would rain, but the sun is out, of course it is. The city sees approximately 360 days of sunshine a year and the rainy season seems to have been left behind, with the flowers in full bloom and a general skip in everybody’s step. The crazy heat, in summer there are up to 52 degrees, hasn’t quite arrived yet, although some reddish faces have been seen walking around, we shall not mention names.
When you enter Casino Admiral, the venue where PartyPoker Tour Seville is being hosted, the atmosphere is just as exhilarating. Tables are full, players are smiling and well everybody is getting the full Spanish experience, what more can one ask for?
Day 3 did not disappoint in the slightest, so let’s have a look at what happened.
At 2pm, Day 1D, the Hyper flight of the Mini Main Event, kicked off, attracting a total of 124 entries with 20 players progressing to Day 2. This brings the total field to 653 entries and generates a total prizepool of €81,625 in the €150 Mini Main Event, making it the third-biggest Mini Main of the tour so far, behind only the two London stops.
At 6pm, the NLH KO attracted a whopping 98 entries, generating a total prizepool of €16,660 including €4,900 in bounties. In the end it was Antonio Ruiz Ledo who took home the top prize and the trophy after a three way deal.
At 8pm, Day 2 of the Mini Main Event was underway. Out of 653 entries 98 players were in the money. Play continued until Level 26 with 14 players returning to play the final.
The top chipleaders are Peggy Crawford (2,995,000), Juanmi Cubero (2,925,000) and Rodriguez Ialamonte (2,850,000). In fifth place with 2,490,000 chips the newest addition to the PartyPoker Tour Team, Scotsman Niall “Triple Crown Winner” Farrell, is also returning to fight for the title. Will he have better luck than at credit card roulette? Let’s hope so.
With Day 3 behind us, let’s have a look at the exciting things that are happening today, Day 4.

PartyPoker Tour Seville – Day 2 Update
PartyPoker Tour Seville is in full swing and the atmosphere is electric, to say the least. One of the great things about starting play at a more leisurely time is that one has the opportunity to enjoy some of the local treats that a city like Seville has to offer. Did you know, in fact, that scenes from Star Wars: Attack of the Clones were filmed in the majestic Plaza de España? Or that Seville is considered one of the birthplaces of tapas?
Legend has it that King Alfonso XIII asked to have his glass of wine covered with a slice of ham to protect it from the dust, thus giving rise to the term “tapa.” True? False? Regardless, the tapas are to die for. And whilst getting ready for play, I can’t think of a better way to spend one’s time before play kicks off.
And then it was Day 2.
At 4pm, Day 1B of the Mini Main Event was underway. It attracted a total of 188 entries, with 28 getting through to Day 2. The top chipleaders in this flight were Kevin Ferrer (903,000 chips), Matteo Fritz (554,000 chips) and Jaime Martins (536,000 chips). Irish Poker Tour regular and father to Irish Poker Tour Ambassador Tanya Masters, Ray Masters, also made it through to Day 2. The likes of Benyamin Canatan and Franky Green, were also seen during the day.
At 7pm, the PLO Masters Big O started and in the field we could see the likes of WSOP Ring winner Blaise Bourgeois, PartyPoker Team Rebecca Hardisty and Irish Poker Tour regular and Irish legend Raymond Masters. Good that they did, as all three came in the top three places. In the end, Blaise Bourgeois won the tournament, taking home €720 in prize money and the very much wanted trophy. Congratulations!
At 9pm, the turbo flight of the Mini Main Event, Day 1C, kicked off. It attracted 113 entries, with 17 players making it through to Day 2. The top chipleaders were Gilberto Lopez Manzanero (514,000 chips), Markus Mortensen (487,000 chips) and Antonio Olalla (473,000 chips) in this flight. Familiar faces included PartyPoker Ambassadors Jaime and Matt Staples, as well as PartyPoker Tour Team members, the fantabulous Sam “Hoooooold” Acheampong and Glenn Brown, who joined the final flight of the day.
With a total of 529 entries so far, this Mini Main Event is proving to be a huge success.
On a super fun note, Ryana Kritzer, Matt Staples’ fiancee, and essentially her first live event, also made it through to Day 2. You’ve got to love stories like that.
The Football Prediction Tournament also took place and, due to the sheer success of the event, with 59 players joining the fun, PartyPoker decided to give out two seats to the Mini Main Event Day 1D Hyper. The two winners were Alberto Lopez Cordero (9/10), the only one close to a perfect score, and Julio Garcia Montero (7/10), whose tie-breaker question was closest to the minute of the first goal.
What a day it was and we are just getting warmed up.
So what’s happening today? Well, let’s jump right into it, shall we?

PartyPoker Tour Seville Underway
Casino Admiral opened its doors to the very much awaited PartyPoker Tour Seville. The city, also known for having the most amount of orange trees in the world, welcomed poker players from near and far.
At 5pm, the €150 Mini Main Event with a €50,000 GTD kicked off, and it kicked off in style.
A staggering 228 entries entered Day 1A, making it the biggest Mini Main Event Day 1A field across all stops to date, with 34 players making it through to Day 2, an indication of how big the overall field is going to be. In the field, we saw some familiar faces, including PartyPoker Ambassador Jaime Staples and newest PartyPoker Tour team members Rebecca Hardisty, showcasing a fantastic new hairstyle, Barbara Jimenez, a local Spanish player who has been playing live and online for the past 10 years, and Niall “Triple Crown Winner” Farrell; Farrell made it through to Day 2 with 437,000 chips.
Other familiar faces included Blaise Bourgeois, 2024 6-Max PKO Circuit Ring winner in Rio de Janeiro, and Peggy Crawford. Peggy made it through to Day 2 as the chip leader of this first flight with 652,000 chips. Manuel Sanchez with 643,000 chips and Victor Aubeso with 571,000 chips also made it through to Day 2.
Now that we’ve had a look at what happened, let’s have a look at what is happening today.

PartyPoker Tour Seville
We are back. PartyPoker Tour Seville is officially underway. The team is so excited about being back on Spanish soil after all these years, and what a great location was selected. Casino Admiral is playing host to this inaugural event, and Seville, the Andalusian capital and fourth-largest city in Spain, is a city that never fails to captivate. From the majestic Alcázar to the winding alleys of Santa Cruz, this sun-soaked metropolis is a feast for the senses.
But let’s be honest, we are in the poker business, so let’s have a look at what is in store today. In good old Spanish style, the timings have been modified slightly to match the local feel, and at 5pm the €150 Mini Main Event with a €50,000 GTD is kicking off.
The PartyPoker Tour Team will be on the ground to welcome you and answer any queries you may have, as well as provide drink vouchers to Main Event entrants and Package Winners.
Today, live coverage of the Mini kicks off with Poker.PRO in English. Our friends from Poker Red will be joining us from March 19th, alongside Spanish coverage.

PartyPoker Tour Hits Spanish Soil for the first time since 2022
Season 2 of the PartyPoker Tour is fully underway. The opening stop in Sheffield produced 1,695 entries and a total prizepool of £287,695, and it also gave us –10 weather, so it is only logical that the organisers would want to warm their cockles by heading south.
Next stop: Casino Admiral in the wondrous city of Seville, in southern Spain.
PartyPoker hasn’t been on Spanish territory since 2022, so the excitement is real. It also goes hand in hand with the “fiesta” mentality that Spain is so well known for all over the world. The last time PartyPoker held a live event in Spain was in June 2022, when partypoker MILLIONS Europe took over Casino Barcelona as part of the partypoker LIVE series. That festival belonged to a different era of the brand, so this week marks the first Spanish stop of the PartyPoker Tour.
But let’s get down to the nitty gritty.
The schedule is headlined by the €500 Main Event with a €100,000 GTD, alongside the €150 Mini Main Event with €50,000 GTD, and the return of the PLO Masters Main Event with a €250 buy-in. Alongside those headline tournaments there are plenty of side events running throughout the week, including an NLH KO, the Poker.PRO Friday Party Madness Crazy Pineapple Bounty, a Mystery Bounty, a €1,000 High Roller, and the Tennessee Hold’em Seville Championship. You can find the full schedule here.
As always, the tour will bring together a mix of travelling regulars and online qualifiers, with a minimum of 200 players expected to qualify online and join the field in Seville.
A full lineup of PartyPoker Tour Team Members and Ambassadors will also be in attendance this week. Players will see familiar faces including Barry Carter, Dani Garcia, Glenn Brown, Joe Beevers, Natalie Bromley, Sam Acheampong, Rebecca Hardisty, Jaime Staples, and Matt Staples. We are also joined by Barbara Jimenez as part of the team, alongside Niall Farrell, one of the newest additions to the PartyPoker Tour Team lineup and a legend in his own right (triple crown winner).
The media team has been expanded to provide coverage in both Spanish and English throughout the festival. Poker Red will cover the event for their Spanish audience starting on March 19th, bringing two reporters and a photographer to provide live reporting and coverage of the Mini Main Event final table and the Main Event. For English-speaking audiences, our one and only Christoffer Karlén from Poker.pro will be on the ground covering the festival throughout the week.
And it really wouldn’t be a PartyPoker Tour event without a bit of fun away from the tables. Main Event entrants and package winners will receive drink vouchers, along with players taking part in the Friday Party Madness event, because what’s a poker festival without a drink or two along the way.
On March 17th, players can also take part in a Football Prediction Tournament, where participants receive a prediction slip with 10 questions based on the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 clash between Manchester City and Real Madrid, kicking off at 21:00 CET. The winner receives a seat into the Mini Main Event Day 1D Hyper, which runs the following day at 14:00 CET.
Away from the tables, the tour continues to highlight its “No Hidden Fees” campaign, which has been a key part of the PartyPoker Tour philosophy from the very beginning. Players who want to learn more about how operators structure their tournament fees, and how retained fees work across the industry, can check out the articles being published by MTTDB here:
