Adrià Díaz Dominates High Roller GUKPT Blackpool, Wins £33,250

Adrià “Favelita” Díaz Dalmau emerged victorious in the No-Limit Hold’em High Roller at the Grosvenor UK Poker Tour stop in Blackpool, England. The two-day event rewarded the top six players who shared a £95,000 prize pool.

Each entry contributed £1,350 to the prize pool. With 56 entries, a total of £75,600 was collected, requiring the casino to add a substantial amount to meet the guarantee.

On the final table, Díaz knocked out Kostas Patsourakis with A d K d against A c Q d. In the last three, Peter Stewart went all-in with his remaining four big blinds holding Q-T against Díaz’s T-7. A seven on the turn secured the win for the Spaniard, and Stewart finished third, earning £15,200.

In the decisive heads-up hand, Díaz overcame Balmforth’s top pair with two pairs. Despite being behind pre-flop with A d 3 s against Balmforth’s A c 4 d, a turn 3 h sealed the win for Díaz. Balmforth took home £22,800 for second place, while Díaz claimed the trophy and the top prize of £33,250.
