Manuel Cabello Florensa took down the 888Live Costa Brava Main Event title just after 2 a.m. local time on Sunday morning, topping a field of 165 entries to bring to a close a four-day "Poker Fiesta" put on by 888poker from May 18-22 May in Costa Brava, Spain. What's more is that Florensa started the final table as the short stack, but ran it up to claim victory and €11,000 in first-place prize money.
A Festival of Poker
Qualifiers from around Europe had won packages that included accommodation at the 5-Star Guitart Monterrey Hotel, entry into the $50,000 guaranteed Main Event, beach activities and, on the final night, an exclusive Bounty Freeroll and VIP party at Disco Tropics nightclub.
