Oldest card shark in town takes crown

After much research we are delighted to announce that Cayetano Garcia, at 75 years old, is the oldest person ever to win a major poker tournament in Europe. On Sunday (July 20) Cayetano made poker history at the final table by making the Spanish Poker Tour, presented by Everest Poker, in Valencia his own.

Cayetano brushed aside his more youthful rivals over a great weekend of poker and in a gesture of typical understatement the final trio made an agreement to share the second and third places (€19,500 each) with the winner taking €26,500 back to Alicante.
