€888 Main Event
Giorno 3 iniziato
The time has arrived at Casino Gran Via for the conclusion of the 888poker LIVE Madrid series. The spotlight will be on the final nine as they battle for the
€888 Main Event title and the top prize of €66,000.
The flagship event of the week saw 435 total entries across four starting flights, creating a hefty prize pool of €333,905. The largest portions of that sum are still to be handed out when players return to action at 3 p.m. local time today.
Leading the way will be Ramon Fernandez, who arrives at the unofficial final table as the only player with more than 100 big blinds. Fernandez will be looking to keep the trophy at home in the Spanish capital, carrying a healthy lead over Italy’s Mateo Calzoni and Greg Campbell of the United Kingdom.

2 | Juan Lyons | Spain | 1,335,000 | |

8 | Mateo Calzoni | Italy | 4,230,000 | |
9 | Carlos Perez-Dosio | Spain | 1,550,000 |
Fernandez would not be denied on Day 2, collecting chips and knockouts as he built a lead on wild day of action in Madrid. A total of 56 players made the money, while each of the remaining nine have guaranteed themselves at least €6,300.
A total of six Spaniards will have a shot at a hometown title, as most of the field returns with healthy stacks on the final day. Manuel Ledesma is the short stack, returning to play with just 10 big blinds.
The final day of the Main Event begins at 3 p.m. local time with 13:57 remaining on Level 22. Blinds will pick back up at 25,000/50,000 and a 50,000 big blind ante, and all of the action can be seen on the 888poker LIVE stream on their Twitch and YouTube channels.
