Garrido Francisco Cruz

In March 2026, Francisco Garrido Cruz emerged victorious in the €500 Main Event of the inaugural online poker Tour Seville, held at Admiral Casino. The tournament attracted 383 entries, generating a prize pool of €170,435, far exceeding the €100,000 guarantee. After four starting flights, 96 players advanced to Day 2, with 55 making the money. Garrido navigated a tough final table that included online poker Tour Ambassador Barbara Jiménez, who was the only remaining player representing the tour in an official capacity. Despite starting the final table at a disadvantage, Jiménez mounted a comeback, but ultimately Garrido triumphed in heads-up play to claim the €30,500 first-place prize and the trophy.

Garrido, a native of Jaén, Spain, demonstrated a resilient and patient style to overcome a competitive field. While specific details about his playing style are limited, his ability to outlast experienced opponents like Jiménez suggests strong tournament instincts and composure under pressure. His victory at the online poker Tour Seville marks his biggest reported live cash to date, and he is expected to continue participating in European live events.

Garrido’s name also appears in business profiles, but there is no confirmed link between the poker player and a Francisco José Cruz Garrido who works in insurance. The poker player Francisco Garrido Cruz remains a relatively new face on the live circuit, with his 2026 Seville win serving as his breakout performance.
