The January’s stop in 2023 of 888poker LIVE Madrid just comes two months after its previous stop at the capitol city of Spain. Abel Gongora managed to be victorious in the previous Main Event of the 20th anniversary of 888poker LIVE, capturing the title during the €1,100 costing grand event, taking home €70,000. He outlasted a field of 374 entries and took a big chunk out of the €350,000 prize pool. Will he be able to go back-to-back in 2023?
