The $10,300 buy-in Main Event attracted 948 entrants leaving partypoker with a $520,000 overlay. Dozens of the world’s best players bought in, including Mateos, hoping for a big win in The Bahamas.

Each of the 135 players who made it through to Day 3 received prize money for their efforts. Such luminaries as Manig Loeser, Ryan Laplante, Isaac Haxton, Kahle Burns, and 2019 Poker Masters winner Sam Soverel cashed. Kristen Bicknell, Dzmitry Urbanovich, Darren Elias and Sergi Reixach also cashed.

Mateos in the Middle of the Pack

Day 4, the final day, saw 24 players return to the tables with Mateos in the middle of the pack. Team partypoker pro Ludovic Geilich was the chip leader with 116,000,000 chips but he endured a torrid time.

Geilich was forced to fold on the flop in a three-bet hand against William Blais which hurt his stack. Soon after, Blais opened to 4,000,000 and Geilich called on the button with pocket aces. Alex Foxen squeezed all-in for 37,800,000, Blais folded but Geilich called. Foxen showed king-jack with the jack of hearts. The board ran all hearts to gift Foxen a flush and leave Geilich with a short stack of four bigs. He busted shortly after in 14th place for $65,000.

Former WSOP Main Event champion Ryan Riess, Foxen, Jonathan Kozel, and Oskar Prehm busted to set the nine-handed final table.

Mateos Third in Chips at the Final Table

Philipp Gruissem was the first player to bust from the final table, suffering the same fate as Geilich. Gruissem got his chips into the middle with aces and Hunichen called with sixes. A six on the turn improved Hunichen to a set and sent Gruissem home in ninth for $140,000.

Hunichen sent Gregory Baird to the showers in eighth for his first six-figure prize. Peter Jetten pushed all-in with king-ten and lost to Scott Wellenbach’s queens to leave only six players in the hunt.

Those six became five when Oleg Mandzjuk three-bet all-in with five-four and lost to the ace-eight of Wellenbach.

Blais got lucky against Geilich earlier in the day, but ran out of luck against Hunichen. Blais looked set for a double when his ace-eight was against queen-ten. That was until Hunichen spiked a queen on the river to end Blais’ tournament. This was only Blais’ second cash and it weighed in at $500,000.

Philanthropist Wellenbach secured the $650,000 fourth-place prize only 10 months after winning $671,240. Wellenbach’s short stack shove with queen-five fell foul to the ace-nine of Aaron Van Blarcum.

Final Three Players Strike a Deal

The final trio of players locked horns for a short while before going on an official break. They struck a deal during that break which left $100,000 for the eventual champion.

Hunichen secured $1,097,195 but would win no more as he fell in third. The American committed his stack with ace-three and lost to the dominating ace-king of Van Blarcum.

Both Mateos and Van Blarcum were almost level in chips at the start of heads-up but Mateos soon pulled away. Van Blarcum, winner of the WPT Legends of Poker, was down to 134,000,000 chips at the final hand. Mateos held 814,000,000 chips.

Van Blarcum moved all-in with ten-deuce and Mateos called with jack-nine. A nine landed on the flop to put the ball in Mateos’ court. Both the turn and river bricked, busting Van Blarcum in second-place for $970,000, leaving Mateos to collect $1,162,805.

Mateos is a True Superstar

It is difficult to believe Mateos is only 25-years-old. The Spaniard has already won three WSOP bracelets, winning his third aged 22 thus becoming the youngest-ever triple bracelet winner. Mateos was also the first Spaniard to win an EPT title after triumphing in the 2015 Grand Final.

He already tops the Spanish all-time money listings and is now 30th in the entire world.

Adrian Mateos is just 25 years old, but he has already managed to establish himself as one of the very best tournament poker players in the world. He is the youngest player in history to win three World Series of Poker bracelets, and with $19.4 million in career earnings is the all-time money leader for his home country of Spain. Mateos further cemented his spot on the list of the game’s best players this past week by winning back-to-back marquee events at the 2019 Caribbean Poker Party.

The first of his two huge title runs came in the $25,500 buy-in, $2 million guaranteed no-limit hold’em high roller event. The tournament drew a sizable turnout of 125 entries, blowing away the guarantee to create a final prize pool of $3,125,000.

Mateos overcame a stacked final table that included the likes of four-time World Poker Tour main event winner Darren Elias (9th – $100,000), 2019 MILLIONS Europe €100,000 high roller winner Orpen Kisacikoglu (7th – $135,000), 2018 European Poker Tour Barcelona €50,000 high roller champion and 2017 WSOP main event third-place finisher Benjamin Pollak (6th – $160,000), and 2017 WSOP Europe €25,000 high roller bracelet winner Niall Farrell (5th – $200,000).

In the end, it came down to a heads-up showdown between Mateos and American Brock Wilson. Mateos started at roughly a 5:1 chip disadvantage but managed to battle his way back to nearly even. With the stacks closer in size, Mateos and Wilson came to a deal that saw Wilson lock up $619,536 while Mateos secured $520,464. The two agreed to flip for the title, and Mateos’ hand proved to be the winner.

Just four days later, Mateos found himself in the winner’s circle again. This time around he outlasted a field 948 total entries in the $10,300 buy-in, $10 million guaranteed 2019 Caribbean Poker Party MILLIONS World Bahamas no-limit hold’em main event.

Despite the fact that this tournament had nearly 1,000 entries, the final table was still overrun with top tournament talent. German high roller and two-time WPT Alpha8 event winner Philipp Gruissem finished ninth for $140,000. High stakes cash game star Petter Jetten earned $250,000 as the seventh-place finisher, while 2019 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure main event third-place finisher Scott Wellenbach placed fourth for $650,000.

The final three players struck a deal. Recent Poker Masters main event runner-up Chris Hunichen locked up $1,097,19, 2019 WPT Legends of Poker main event winner Aaron Van Blarcum
ensured himself $970,000 and Mateos secured $1,062,805. The three left the title and $100,000 to play for.

Van Blarcum picked up A-K against the A-3 of Hunichen to set up the heads-up showdown with Mateos, which began with the two finalists nearly even in chips. Mateos was able to quickly establish a lead, increasing his advantage to roughly 6:1 by the time the final cards were dealt. Van Blarcum shoved with 10-2 and got looked uo by Mateos’ J-9. Mateos made a pair of nines on the flop and held from there to secure the title.

Mateos earned a total of 3,204 Card Player Player of the Year points for his two victories. With two previous final-table finishes this year, Mateos has now climbed into 20th place in the 2019 POY race standings, which are sponsored by Global Poker.
