Juan Bel has won the €650 buy in Betfair Poker Live! Costa Brava in Spain beating 126 opponents to take hoe the €16,000 top prize.
Bel dodged a field thronged with Scandinavians, Brits and local hopefuls to get heads up with fellow countryman Jose Guinto. The duo jousted for an hour before Guinto moved all in with J-10 suited and was called by Bel with A
6. An ace fell on the turn but Guinto had also picked up a flush draw. However it was the 4 on the river that landed Bel the title.
The final table at Gran Casino Costa Brava consisted of:
1: Juan Bel — Spain
2: Jose Guinto — Spain
3: Jaimie Sanchez — Spain
4: Linn Beate Tellness — Norway
5: Yngle Steen — Norway
