2017 888Live Poker Festival Barcelona
Benjamin Garcia (also reported as Benjamin Garcia Rivera) was among the players who reached Day 2 of the €1,100 Main Event at the 2017 888Live Poker Festival Barcelona. The tournament attracted 609 entries, creating a prize pool of €584,640. During the late stages, Garcia defended his big blind and check-shoved the flop, but his opponent Marco Regonaschi called with top pair. The turn and river were both bricks for Garcia, and he lost a significant pot. His final result in the event is not publicly recorded.
Online Presence
A player named Benjamin Garcia Rivera, registered from Andorra, has recorded online cashes on platforms such as online poker and WSOP.com, totaling over $36,000 in earnings. However, it is unclear whether this is the same individual as the Spanish Benjamin Garcia.
Playing Style
Based on the limited hand history available, Garcia appears to play an aggressive style, willing to check-shove on the flop to apply pressure. His decision to defend the big blind and then move all-in suggests a strategy of leveraging fold equity in deep-stacked tournaments.
