Manuel Cabello Florensa

The tournament was heads-up between Manuel Cabello Florensa and David Nunez Arguello just before 2am. Playing fairly even stacks of 20 big blinds all the chips went in the middle on a board of 5h2d9s.

Arguello tabled Qh9d but Florensa had his man with Kd9c. The turn card 4h and river 9h sealed the deal and Florensa was the champion.

Florensa is from Catalonia and won his seat online at 888poker.es. Speaking after his victory a delighted Florensa told 888 that this was by far his biggest live cash but he is a big winner online at cash and MTTs.

He came to the table as the short stacks but was happy with the way he grinded his it up. Asked what he was planning to do with the €11,000 first placed prize he answered, “Use it for my poker bankroll.” Spoken like a true player.
