Spain’s Andoni Larrabe entered Day 6 of the 2014 World Series of Poker Main Event with almost 5.5 million chips, which was good enough for fifth place with 79 players remaining.

While players outside Spain might not recognize Larrabe’s name, he is well known in Spain and has amassed over $341,000 in live tournament earnings. Larrabe gained some fame and fortune back in January 2013 at the PokerStarsCaribbean Adventure at the Atlantis Resort and Casino when he chopped a $5,300 side event with poker superstar Justin ZeeJustinBonomo for almost $219,000. He eventually won that event, which included a star-studded final table including Ravi govshark2Raghavan, Grant Levy, and Jason jdpc27 Wheeler.

Larrabe amassed chips each of the five days of the 2014 Main Event. On Day 4, he was in a pre-flop raising battle against India’s Aditya intervention Agarwal. With the blinds at 3,000/6,000, Larrabe found himself on the winning end of a race when his Ac-Kc out-flopped Agarwal’s Jh-Js on a Ks-6c-Ah board. Agarwal was unable to spike the J on the turn or river, sending him to the rail, while Larrabe’s chip stack climbed to almost 1.8 million in chips.

On Day 5, Larrabe found his stack climb to almost 3 million in chips when he sent American poker player Mark Rodriguez to the rail. Rodriguez was all-in with Ad-9d against Larrabe’s Ac-Jc. While Rodriguez was behind from the beginning to the end of the hand, there was some distant hope for a chop or win for him when the board came out Qh-Qs-4c.

The 7c on the turn gave Larrabe a nut flush draw and removed some possibilities for Rodriguez to improve his hand. The Kc on the river completed Larrabe’s flush and sent Rodriguez to the rail in 161st place for over $52,000.
