Leo Margets has won the Full Tilt Poker Masters Series. The Spaniard triumphed over an invitation only 32-runner field in Barcelona to pocket a first prize of €100,000.
Margets is probably best know for being the last woman standing at the 2009 World Series of Poker Main Event where she earned almost $353k for her 27th place finish.She's followed that up with some good performances in 2010 including a second place at an Aussie Millions event as well as cashes on the EPT. The year has come to a profitable close with a pair of victories in two exclusive invite only tournaments, the Spanish Poker Tour circuit and now the Full Tilt Poker Series. The 888 Poker ambassador triumphed in the three-day Barcelona event which featured a deepstack, shootout and, finally, a turbo tournament.
