Oscar Gironella has become the newest World Poker Tour (WPT) Prime champion by taking down WPT Prime Madrid at Casino Gran Via. Gironella earned a prize of €56,925, which includes a $10,400 seat in the 2023 WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas. 

 WPT Prime Madrid drew a field of 396 entrants from four starting flights. The sum generated a prizepool of €366,370 ($387,858), which paid out the top 51 finishers. A min-cash provided players €1,920, while the first-place prize sat at €84,830. 

An ICM deal was made during heads-up action that solidified Gironella’s payout as €56,925 and Juan Gonzalo Ares’ payout as €66,075. Following the agreement, the two players battled it out for the Prime title.
