PSPC 2020: The dream came true for Adrian Viñuela
If you tuned in to the Chase Your Dream invitational, you’ll have seen some truly heart-warming reactions when all five qualifiers were told they had won a Platinum Pass to the PokerStars Players No Limit Hold’em Championship (PSPC) 2020.
But the qualifier we kept the closest eye on was Spain’s Adrian Viñuela. After all, he’d made it through to the final and was just one player away from winning both a Platinum Pass (worth €26,466) and the €10,000 cash prize. Unfortunately for Viñuela things didn’t go his way, and he thought his dream was over.
“I was so sad,” he tells PokerStars Blog the morning after. “I was so close, but I felt like I had lost everything.”
