Poker pro Adrián Mateos up for prestigious sports award.
Loyal readers of The Rail will know we broke this last week, but now other media sites are catching up, so there’s no harm we revisit it.
He joins a roster of names like Lamine Yamal and Carlos Alcaraz, which is not the usual crowd for a high stakes poker pro. According to Mateos, this nomination is not just about him. He told Winamax:
“This nomination is great for poker. Newer generations are already seeing it for what it is: a mind sport.”
Mateos is no stranger to accolades, with five WSOP bracelets in his collection, but this is a new kind of achievement.
