In 2018, he won Spain’s two major circuit events. One awarded him a $25,000 buy-in to the PSPC; the other a WSOP Main Event seat. He just won the first.
Until a few days ago, if you are not Spanish, you might not have heard the name Ramón Colillas. According to his Hendon Mob profile, until his incredible PokerStars Players No Limit Hold’em Championship (PSPC) win and multi-million dollar first place prize, the fitness trainer-turned-poker pro had only $10,000 in lifetime earnings.
But that picture is not exactly accurate. Ramón Colillas is something of a dark horse, and he triumphed here in The Bahamas after incredible successes in Spain which should have put him on many radars. But the Barcelonian flew under everyone’s radar.
