Miguel Alonso departed the PPT Madrid after being pushed to the edge by Miguel "Miki" Rodriguez, but could hardly wipe the smile from his face as his €4,700 prize sunk in.
The online qualifier won his entry playing on Paradise Poker, so despite getting no help from the board to crack Miki's QQ with K♠3♦, he was in the mood to celebrate a personal best performance on the big stage.
"I've only been playing for two years and I qualified for this event at the first attempt on Paradise Poker," beamed Miguel, "This is the first big event I played in; previously the biggest game I bought in to was a €100 buy-in so I'm very pleased!
"I never got enough chips on the final table to play my poker and I had been waiting for good hands, but eventually had to make my move with the first decent cards I saw.
"I'll definitely try to qualify for these kind of tournaments again, although I'll stick to satellites to win more big prizes like this!"
