For those unfamiliar with Trevallion, he's new to the European circuit, but did have a breakout performance back in January when he took the Aussie Millions by storm and recorded three big finishes. First, Trevallion chopped the AU$25,000 Challenge with Tobias Reinkemeier for AU$645,150 ($521,835). After that, he took to the felt in the AU$100,000 Challenge and finished in eighth place for AU$310,000 ($244,943).
As if those results weren't enough, Trevallion wasn't done. His third big result came when he placed 33rd in the Aussie Millions AU$10,000 Main Event for AU$25,000 ($19,753). Although the monetary score from this run paled in comparison to his other two results, his run came in a big field of 648 runners in a premier event.
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.
