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.

Poker glossary:
- SEAT POSITION - The actual seat a player has, normally numbered sequentially starting with 1 as the first seat to dealer's left. Not to be confused with POSITION in a particular pot. Typically unrelated to play of a hand but often important in peripheral aspects, e.g.: "Seats 1 and 10 are nonsmoking here", "Seat 5 has a good view of the table", "Seat 3 is in a high-traffic area".
- STRAIGHT - A hand consisting of 5 cards in sequence but not in suit.
- UNDER THE GUN - The position that has to act first in a round of betting.
- HIGH-LOW SPLIT - Forms of poker in which the pot is split between the best hand and best lowball hand.
- IMPLIED ODDS - A refinement to POT ODDS which includes money not yet in the pot. Considers the potential extra bets and winnings made when a player forms a very good hand.
- BLANK - Used in describing stud and Hold'em games. Refers to a dealt card that does not offer any value; stating the actual rank and suit would detract from a description of the hand. "The last card was a blank.".
