Maria and Javier: exit hands

Unfortunately we lost two Everest Poker players: Maria Maceiras and Javier Martinez.

Javier Martinez was the Spanish Poker Champion in 2008 and the also won the SPT Castellon that same year. A couple of weeks ago he became the first player to win two SPTs, when he was crowned champion at the SPT Ibiza. Another big success came when he was one of the 10 winners of the Live the Dream 2010 casting. Winning the casting involved a $100,000 sponsorship contract to play some of the World’s biggest tournaments.

Today we lost him in the 5th hand he was playing. Javier was short, he had only 12 big blinds when the button raised. Javier found K7s and decided to go all in. The button called and showed 55. No help for Javier! But he will be playing the SPT Valencia, so we meet him again soon!

María Maceiras (‘May’) started playing poker when she was only a girl and she, her brother and father are certainly one of the most respected families in the World of poker. This 29 year old Galician girl was a pioneer as she became the first woman to win a Spanish Championship. Today it wasn't her day. She went all in with AK and her opponent called with AQ, The flop and turn gave no sweat, but the river was deadly, a Q...

Maria will play the SPT Valencia and also the last two stops of the 3LT in Hamburg and Vienna. Good luck there Maria!

Gerard Serra

Gerard Serra has worked with Thomas Kremser in the creation of some of Europe’s most memorable poker events. Apart from being Kremser’s right hand, Serra is his best friend and one of the most popular tournament directors in Spain. He is also proud of being a loyal FC Barcelona fan. Gerard is doing a great job here in Castellon with his team. Today he's wearing a green tie, place your bets for tomorrows color!

Javier Martinez also thinks Gerard is great!

Ladies rock the SPT!

Day 2 of the SPT Castellon is running for an hour now. The 84 remaining players are now playing the 9th level with blinds 500-1000 and an 100 ante. 18 players will be in the money and we try to play the field down to those 18 today.

Poker is a men sport, but we also see a lot of lovely ladies participating in the SPT's. Amongst them, Antoine Saouts girlfriend Anais.

We also see the Dutch Lieke van Wordragen, she already doubled up with QQ vs JJ so she is playing a healthy 33.k.

Laura Cantero began the day as the chipleader. Due to her aggressive way of playing, she lost some big pots but in the first hour but now she's back on the winning track.

The SPT Aranjuez had the first female winner, Catarina Santos from Portugal. Let's see if the ladies can do it again here in Castellon!
