Adrián Mateos, the poker phenom from San Martín de la Vega, keeps raising the bar for Spanish poker. At just 30 years old, he became the fifth youngest player ever to win five WSOP bracelets, joining legends like Phil Ivey and Phil Hellmuth. His latest triumph came at the 2025 World Series of Poker, where he conquered the $3,200 NLH High Roller, overcoming a huge chip deficit heads-up to secure another bracelet and over $250,000 in winnings.
With career live earnings now topping $54 million, Mateos has proven his consistency at the highest level, both live and online. He recently added a sixth SCOOP title on PokerStars after pulling off a massive bluff, showing why many call him one of the best NLH players in the world today.
Ranked #1 on the Global Poker Index again in 2024, Adrián continues to lead Spain’s poker scene and inspire a new generation of players. From his first big win at age 19 to his current run of dominance, he’s a true example of talent, discipline, and relentless ambition at the tables.
