Spaniard poker pro Adrian Mateos is already known to have a pretty impressive poker portfolio, having won the 2013 WSOP Main Event for €1,000,000, and now he adds a whopping $1,162,805 to his all-time live career earnings after winning back-to-back titles, becoming the Main Event champ in this year's Caribbean Poker Party MILLIONS World Bahamas Main Event as well as the victor of the Super High Roller event at partypoker.

- Schedule: November 15 to 24, 2019
- Venue: Baha Mar Resort, The Bahamas
- Event: $10,300 NLHE MILLIONS Main Event
The $10,300 buy-in Main Event's final day began with 24 remaining players battling for the title.
The popular partypoker pro Ludovic Geilich was the chip leader with 24 players left at the start of the final day, but the Scottish pro couldn't maintain the lead as his pocket aces crushed by a flush that caused his demise down the leaderboard. Geilich finished 14th on this event.
Mateos, at just 25 years old, managed to reach the final table of eight from a player field of 948 entries.
On three-handed play, a deal was struck amongst the remaining players, leaving them with these calculations for their winnings:
Chris Hunichen - $1,097,195
Adrian Mateos - $1,062,805
Aaron Van Blarcum - $970,000
The agreement left $100,000 on the table, along with the MILLIONS World title and the victor's photos with the trophy.
Hunichen lost to Van Blarcum with two pair, then heads-up, Mateos rivered trips to jump into the lead.
The final hand saw Van Blarcum with 13 big blinds, which at that time became an unlucky number for him as Mateos paired up on the flop, winning the extra $100,000 and the prized trophy in the end.
