Jay Bo Jordan Hoebe won the 2026 WSOP Circuit Madrid Main Event for €207,000 after defeating a 918-entry field. The festival ran October 23 to November 2 at Casino Gran Via and featured 11 events, with winners across multiple tournament formats.

The 2026 WSOP Circuit Madrid festival concluded at Casino Gran Via, with Dutch poker player Jay Bo Jordan Hoebe claiming the €1,500 Main Event title and the €207,000 first-place prize. The tournament attracted 918 entries and generated a €1,164,942 prize pool.

Held from October 23 to November 2, the Madrid stop featured 11 scheduled WSOP Circuit events, with players competing for Circuit rings across multiple tournament formats.

Hoebe entered the nine-player final table as the chip leader after finishing the penultimate day with 12,260,000 chips. He faced competition from an international line-up that included Argentina's Jose Ignacio Barbero, Norway's Tom-Aksel Bedell and France's Fausto Munz.

However, the final table did not unfold entirely as expected. Barbero mounted a comeback after starting the day among the shorter stacks, eventually setting up a heads-up battle against Hoebe.

The Dutchman ultimately secured the victory, earning his second WSOP Circuit ring, €207,000 and a $5,000 package for WSOP Paradise. His winning hand was the queen-ten of spades.

Barbero finished runner-up for €130,000, while Bedell took third place for €90,000. Munz, a former LivePoker and Winamax journalist, finished eighth for €18,200 after reaching the final table with the fourth-largest stack.
