WPT Spanish Victory
The very first Spanish Championship held as part of the World Poker Tour has wrapped up and declared the first winner, and his name is Hansen. Not Gus Hansen, but Casper Hansen, who picked up a 400,000 euro prize and a seat in the World Poker Tour Championship at the end of the season, which alone is worth $25k and has the potential to turn into millions. In second place was Stefan Mattsson with 220k, Thiago Nishijima in 3rd with 112k, Andres Vidal in 4th with 87k, Guy Sitbon in 5th with 75k, and Martin Lundenius in sixth with 62k.
