Day 1b of the WPO Bratislava has already seen 492 entries in the first four levels of play, surpassing Day 1a's field.
464 of those players remain and are on their first 25-minute break of the day.
Winamax Team Pro Adrien Mateos is one of poker's most elite players and has been igniting the poker world since the tender age of 19.
PokerNews sat down with Mateos to reflect on his nine-year poker career and looked at five of his biggest wins that have helped take the Spaniard to where he is now.
Alejandro Romero opened to 1,200 from under the gun and was only called by Nicolas Filipe from the big blind.
Filipe check-called a bet of 900 on the 
flop and did the same when Romero bet 5,000 on the 
turn.
The same action took place when Romero sized up to 16,000 
river.
"I win mate," said Romero as he turned over his 
for a Royal Flush. The table all whipped their phones out to take some pictures while the pot headed to the Winamax Team Pro.
Also at Romero's table is stablemate Alexane Najchaus who has a below starting stack. Loic Debregeas is on an adjacent table and his seen short stack shrink even further.

Caleb Godin opened to 1,000 from middle position before Loic Debregeas three-bet to 3,500 on the button. Igor Marton then made it 8,500 from the big blind and only Debregeas called.
Marton bet 6,500 on the 
flop and Debregeas called. The 
turn inspired Marton to fire a second barrel of 12,000. Debregeas checked his cards one last time and folded.

Kristyna Mlikova opened to 1,200 on the button before Antoine Pierre made it 2,700 from the small blind. Mlikova put in the four-bet to 8,000 and Pierre made the call.
Pierre checked the flop which prompted Mlikova to bet 6,000. Pierre responded by moving all in as the bigger stack. Mlikova was put to the test and was clearly uncomfortable with the situation. After several moments, she made the fold to her disappointment.
