Biography
Adrián Mateos discovered poker at 16 after watching the game on television. He began studying through poker forums and videos, and by the time he was 18 he was already producing live tournament results in Spain. His early success prompted a move from Madrid to London as he pursued poker professionally.
The first major sign of what was coming arrived in January 2013. Mateos won the Estrellas Poker Tour Madrid Main Event, collecting more than €100,000 only months after turning 18. The result followed his first recorded tournament victory at the Circuito Nacional de Poker in Madrid in late 2012.
Later that year, Mateos made his international breakthrough at the 2013 WSOP Europe Main Event. Still only 19, he won the €10,450 event and €1 million, giving him his first WSOP bracelet and establishing him as one of the most promising young players in European poker.
Another major championship followed in 2015 when Mateos won the EPT Grand Final Main Event in Monte Carlo. He collected €1,082,000 and added an EPT title to the WSOP Europe Main Event already on his résumé.
His second bracelet came in the $1,500 Summer Solstice event at the 2016 WSOP, followed by another landmark result one year later. Mateos defeated the field in the $10,000 Heads-Up No-Limit Hold'em Championship in 2017, making him the youngest player at the time to win three WSOP bracelets, aged just 22.
Mateos' move into the super-high-roller ranks produced increasingly large results. In 2021, he won the $250,000 WSOP Super High Roller for $3,265,362 and bracelet number four. By then, his schedule was dominated by some of the largest buy-ins on the WSOP, Triton and other international high-roller circuits.
The following years pushed his live earnings into another bracket. Mateos finished runner-up in the 2023 Triton Monte Carlo Main Event for more than $3.1 million and earned another $3.292 million as runner-up in the 2024 Triton Invitational in Montenegro. His 2024 tournament results alone amounted to more than $13.1 million.
Bracelet number five arrived online in 2025, but 2026 proved even more significant. Mateos won the $200,000 Triton Invitational in Montenegro for $6.37 million, the largest individual tournament cash of his career and a record score for a Spanish poker player.
Less than a month later, he added his sixth bracelet in Las Vegas. Mateos defeated a 56-entry field in the $250,000 WSOP Super High Roller, earning $4,334,411 and becoming the youngest player in WSOP history to reach six bracelets. The final table included Phil Ivey, Jason Koon and Bryn Kenney.
Mateos remains a Winamax ambassador and continues to play the highest buy-in tournaments around the world. By September 2026, his live earnings had climbed above $69.8 million, enough for fourth place on the all-time money list and first among Spanish players.
Trivia

His 2017 Heads-Up Championship victory made him the youngest three-time bracelet winner in WSOP history at 22. Nine years later, he set another age record by becoming the youngest player to collect six bracelets.
