Seat 5: Adria Diaz Dalmau, Spain – 2,075,000
Poker pro Adria Diaz Dalmau has been racking up cashes around the globe for the last seven years, including a WSOP final table in 2024 (the $1,500 NLH Super Turbo Bounty event). Originally from Girona in Spain, Dalmau now calls the UK home, playing live series such as the GUKPT and events held in Nottingham regularly. His bread and butter is, however, Spin & Go tournaments, and having been a professional player for 12 years (he is now 31) he splits his time playing live and online.
Finishing in one of the top two spots in the Main Event in Cannes would present him with his largest live cash to date, adding to his over half a million dollars in tournament earnings.
Speaking about his experience at the PokerStars Open in Cannes, he said, “The experience is great. The environment here [at the Palace of Festivals and Congresses] is amazing – when there is light coming in, it’s beautiful. For sure I would come again next year!”
