The Circuito Nacional de Poker (CNP) has been the bedrock of the Spanish mid-stakes scene since 2012, and its 2026 stop in Seville further cemented that reputation. In partnership with Winamax, the festival transformed Casino Admiral into the heart of Spanish poker for a week of high-octane action.
While the record for entries remained unbroken, the quality of play reached a new high, culminating in a dominant victory for Ramón Fernández, who turned a final table chip lead into a €60,000 triumph.
