Monday, 8th of April. Mark the date! At 4 p.m. The Big Game starts it’s 7th season<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

While we already know some of the players<\/a><\/strong> taking a seat at the 12 hour long $25\/$50 cash game table in Barcelona, others will join the game unannounced (by the way: we expect the stakes to be much higher than the initial blinds would suggest).<\/p>\n

Let’s have a closer look at them. While some don’t need a big introduction, others might have slipped under your radar.<\/p>\n

One of those could be Raul Mestre. He was one of the players to emerge from the online poker boom<\/a> a couple of years ago. But he wasn’t just a random appearance like many others. He kept winning consistantly and built up reputation (and probably a nice bankroll) along the way.<\/p>\n

His live tournament success dates back to 2006, but it probably took until 2011 for the wider audience to get to know him. Winning the IFP “The Table” Championship (in a thrilling heads up battle against Vicky Coren ), he was in the spotlight as IFP World Champion.<\/p>\n

There’s not much information to be found about his success at cash games. Well, look at it like this: as creator and founder of EducaPoker (a renowned Spanish poker school), he’s constantly analyzing his game and poker as a whole. If you’re Spanish is good enough, have a look at his blog (Raul Mestre Blog<\/a><\/strong>).<\/p>\n
