"Yiyo the Nerja Ninja" wins the first event of the Marbella Classic Poker Series 2011 that took place last weekend at the fabulous Casino Marbella
103 runners took their places in the 350€ buy-in event, with an optional re-buy of 350€.
Cards were in the air on Saturday afternoon at the new starting time of 4.30pm because the event has been reduced to a much better 2 day structure from the previous 3 day.
19 players won their entries into the tournament from Thursday nights satellite, so maybe you might want to try the same for the next event. The satellite for event #2 will be held on Thursday 17th of March, "ST PATRICKS DAY" for our Irish contingent.
After all the buy-ins and re-buys were counted up, a prizepool of 48,490€ was announced. The first day's play saw off 80 of the protagonists, with 23 players returning on Sunday.
Once again the top female player of the event was the lovely Margareta Shilliam, collecting money in 6th place on the final table amongst other notable cash's such as poker pro Ernesto Jiminez and regular final table visitors Raul Gonzalez, Jaime Blanco, David Amilleta and Ian Holmes.
