First, a fun hand from the outer table. I arrived to see a board and a 475k bet in front of Simon Hemsworth, representing half his remaining stack. Martin Piik thought about it for a good long while, and eventually made the call – and was soon rewarded with the discovery that Hemsworth had missed a flush draw, with Piik’s proving the better hand.

Winner's Reaction
Piik, who has only played ten live tournaments in his life and won his trip to Madrid on Olybet, beat Chinese player Yu Cheng “Richard” Liu heads-up to win the very last MPNPT trophy. Piik, who works at Olympic Casino in Tallinn and is one of the organizers for the upcoming Kings of Tallinn tournament, first started playing poker as a kid with his parents and classmates.
'It’s incredible. I won my seat on Olybet and came here with my Dad,' said Piik. 'To be honest, the money doesn’t mean anything – it’s the title and trophy I care about. It’s just amazing.'
More than 200 players won their entry to the event online via MPN partner sites such as OlyBet, Betsafe, Betsson, 32Red, Paf, Guts, NordicBet, Triobet and Grosvenor.
Other Players to Cash
Among those who cashed in the Main Event were UCOP champion Mateusz Moolhuizen, Deborah Worley-Roberts, and award-winning podcaster David Lappin.
Despite the presence of several previous winners in the 575-entry field, the elimination of 2017 MPNPT Tallinn winner Keimo Suominen in 11th place meant there was no chance of the tour witnessing its first two-time MPNPT champion in Madrid.
The final event in Madrid was an emotional time for many. The MPN Poker Tour is well-regarded, much-loved and, over a total of 23 events, has clearly made its mark on a wide range of players from full-time pros to tournament regulars, online qualifiers and hundreds of recreational players.
In addition to the Main Event, this weekend’s festival in the heart of the Spanish capital also featured several well-attended side events including three very boisterous tournaments on the final day: the Doubles tourney, Ladies Event and a SuperKnockout event with Bose headphones as bounties on seven of the 12 MPN staffers who competed.
Worley-Roberts won the Ladies Event for €1,780 while Grosvenor Ambassador Katie Swift took down the Madrid Cup on Saturday for €6,345. Finland’s Joni Liimatta and partner won the Doubles tourney for €2,340.
Managing Director Scott Reflects on the Final MPN Poker Tour Stop
Alex Scott, Managing Director Poker at MPN, said: “Since its launch, the MPN Poker Tour really has been a very special series of events and that’s entirely down to our staff, partners, media, sponsors, venues and, of course, the players. I’m very proud of what we’ve achieved on the tour; we’ve been very fortunate in having a really amazing team. These are people who really do put players first and work incredibly hard to give them an exceptional experience. I’m delighted that our very last event here in Madrid has proved such a huge success and I’d like to thank everyone who came and helped make this a wonderful end to the tour.”
A live stream was broadcast for the last three days of the event with commentators Padraig Parkinson and Jesse May joined on twitch.tv/thrillofpoker and Facebook by numerous special guests.

The MPN Poker Tour's (MPNPT) last hurrah will be the sort that echoes.
Coming to the Gran Casino Colón in the center of the Spanish capital of Madrid on Feb. 6-9, 2020, the Grand Finale of the friendliest tour on the continent will be an unmissable combination of No-Limit Hold'em and partying: the ultimate poker holiday.
The MPNPT has grown from a London toe-dipping in 2014 with just 83 entrants and one member of staff on the ground to a tour that has regularly brought together multinational fields of pros and amateurs playing for six-figure sums.
The affordable €550 Main Event and comparable side events have made the MPNPT a favorite grassroots tour that is coming to an end this year – but not without a suitable curtain-closer.
Alex Scott, Managing Director of Poker at Microgaming, has overseen for over seven years the inception, growth and finally the close of the live poker tour, alongside Clodagh Hansen and Richard Cunningham, who together have built the tour around its players.
'I have the most amazing team and I'm really proud of what we've achieved,' Scott said.
'We want to say thank you to those players who've been with us from the very beginning, through the events with no guarantee, to now playing with large fields and prize pools.
'I really hope that you'll come join us for our last event, the Grand Finale in Madrid.'

Gregarious Swede Matz Lindman is one such tour regular, having played since the inaugural event in London.
'The thing I enjoy most is just hanging out with friends,' he said, a sentiment echoed by the regulars who've met up from Manchester to Morocco over the years.
'The MPNPT is quite a unique tour in its structure and the people who come to it,' said online qualifier Andrew Macleod, interviewed in Prague last May.
'For me, it's that perfect long weekend away - you explore a beautiful city, play a bit of poker, and if the cards go your way you probably come back with a fair bit of money as well!'

Online qualifiers get to start the off-the-table fun portion of their Madrid holiday early with a private Welcome Party.
This will be held at Bling Bling, the connoisseur's club of choice in Madrid, with canapes, free bar, and DJ until late.
Anyone who's experienced an MPNPT party will know roughly what to expect; multiply it by ten.
Qualifiers through Grosvenor Poker, Olybet, Guts, Betsson, NordicBet, and Betsafe also receive a special VIP experience in the form of a football experience to remember as they join the MPNPT team at the Athletico Madrid stadium for the La Liga clash with Granada.
Madrid's stop represents the very last time to enjoy all that the unique MPN Poker Tour offers, including excursions, bar-based shenanigans and, of course, poker alongside the €550 Main Event (including a Doubles tournament and Ladies' Event, plus Staff Bounty on Sunday night where busting the bosses means prizes).
That's all before mentioning Fish Party, the slot spin/three-handed live sit-and-go's that have been known to draw a bigger rail than the final table.
The last ever Main Event will crown its champion cards-up, with Live Updates available on the MPNPT blog from Feb. 6 and live streaming on twitch.tv/thrillofpoker starting on Feb. 7.
The Live Stream will feature commentary by the legendary duo of Jesse May and Padraig Parkinson alongside a slew of guest commentators.
Then, it's time to raise glasses and roll credits.
