It's a massive poker tournament in Spain, so it's only natural that Adrian Mateos should be leading the PokerStars Championship Barcelona €50,000 Super High Roller after the first day of play.
Spain's preeminent poker prodigy turned his 250,000 starting stack into 963,000 by day's end, giving him the lead out of the 54 players who made it through the day.
With all of the incredible success Mateos has experienced at such a young age — Mateos is still just 23 — it's perhaps a bit surprising that he hasn't put up more big results in his backyard here in Barcelona.
