'It’s incredible. I won my seat on Olybet and came here with my Dad,' said Piik. 'To be honest, the money doesn’t mean anything – it’s the title and trophy I care about. It’s just amazing.'
More than 200 players won their entry to the event online via MPN partner sites such as OlyBet, Betsafe, Betsson, 32Red, Paf, Guts, NordicBet, Triobet and Grosvenor.
Other Players to Cash
Among those who cashed in the Main Event were UCOP champion Mateusz Moolhuizen, Deborah Worley-Roberts, and award-winning podcaster David Lappin.
Despite the presence of several previous winners in the 575-entry field, the elimination of 2017 MPNPT Tallinn winner Keimo Suominen in 11th place meant there was no chance of the tour witnessing its first two-time MPNPT champion in Madrid.
The final event in Madrid was an emotional time for many. The MPN Poker Tour is well-regarded, much-loved and, over a total of 23 events, has clearly made its mark on a wide range of players from full-time pros to tournament regulars, online qualifiers and hundreds of recreational players.
In addition to the Main Event, this weekend’s festival in the heart of the Spanish capital also featured several well-attended side events including three very boisterous tournaments on the final day: the Doubles tourney, Ladies Event and a SuperKnockout event with Bose headphones as bounties on seven of the 12 MPN staffers who competed.

Managing Director Scott Reflects on the Final MPN Poker Tour Stop
Alex Scott, Managing Director Poker at MPN, said: “Since its launch, the MPN Poker Tour really has been a very special series of events and that’s entirely down to our staff, partners, media, sponsors, venues and, of course, the players. I’m very proud of what we’ve achieved on the tour; we’ve been very fortunate in having a really amazing team. These are people who really do put players first and work incredibly hard to give them an exceptional experience. I’m delighted that our very last event here in Madrid has proved such a huge success and I’d like to thank everyone who came and helped make this a wonderful end to the tour.”
A live stream was broadcast for the last three days of the event with commentators Padraig Parkinson and Jesse May joined on twitch.tv/thrillofpoker and Facebook by numerous special guests.
