Tomeu Gomila

Local poker media consider Tomeu “Amatos” Gomila one of the most respected and trusted players in the Spanish poker community. His extensive experience in all kinds of live events, both national and international, as well as good online results have made Gomila one of the most competent all-round players in the country.

Gomila was also a co-founder of PokerVD, so fans have been able to see his philosophy and strategy for tournaments at first hand thanks to the hundreds of videos that he’s made.

His best live results have been a second in the €1,500 No Limit Hold'em Main Event at the Full Tilt Poker Series in Madrid earlier this year in March for €40,000, winning a €1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha side event for €31,030 at European Poker Tour Barcelona last season and an eighth-place finish in the World Poker Your Spanish Championship for €31,000. Gomila also has one World Series of Poker Main Event cash, which came in 2010. He placed 378th and earned $36,463.

His online results are also impressive; he has won the PokerStars $109 rebuy several times.

Gomila will enter the final table with the largest stack at 6.985 million in chips. That's nearly 2.5 million chips more than his closest competitor, Saar Wilf. Coming into Day 4, Gomila held the chip lead as well and was able to maintain that position for most of the day before finishing in the same pole position he started at.
