Laurent Vauquelin

Francia
leads the 22 title contenders of this Main Event at the Spanish Poker Championship (Campeonato de España de Poker) which has already made history by registering a total of 1.352 entries, surpassing the previous 2023 record of 1.339. With a solid stack of 3.775.000 points, he positions himself as a strong candidate to aim for the champion title and claim the €80.000 assigned as a reward.

Day 1E Turbo, the last one available to qualify for Day 2, began early in the morning to register the final 204 entries, generating a group of 79 players qualified for the second phase. With this movement, a total of 334 competitors took their seats again on Day 2 to face the long day that would lead to this result with Vauquelin leading for Day 3.

A total of 159 players would make it to the money with a min-cash of €1.340, and moments before the money bubble, players such as Jordi Grané

Laurent Vauquelin will have the opportunity to surpass the best cash of his career

The moment of maximum tension at the tournament bubble was overcome with the departure of Nikolaos Oikonomou

as the last player to say goodbye without getting a slice of the pie, after the small blind reached him and he put his last chips in with J 5 and his opponent, who showed 9 8, ended up winning the hand when K 7 5 6 A were revealed in the middle for a straight that held strong in the absence of clubs in their hands.

Towards the end of the day, Miguel Ruiz

España
, who led Day 1D, could not maintain the good pace after losing a huge pot dramatically when his set on the turn was beaten by a straight on the river from his opponent, leaving him very hurt and heading for the exit shortly after.

Now, with the cards laid out on the table, Laurent Vauquelin will have the opportunity to show the best of his game in a day that will undoubtedly be demanding, but also extremely rewarding. The players who have advanced to this point are already guaranteed at least €3.665 while they will look to continue advancing to climb positions and increase the value of their cash and, in the process, make their way to the valuable final table where the pay jumps will begin to be truly significant. The Frenchman currently has €30.200 as his best historical live event cash, having achieved 25th place in the EPT Paris Main Event in February of this year.

The Final Day will feature a live stream, so that all interested parties can be accompanied by commentary from Guillermo “Willo” Sanz
