Major Title: CNP Winamax Main Event
On February 16, 2026, Ramón Fernández captured his first CNP Winamax Main Event title at Casino Admiral Sevilla, earning €60,000. Entering the final table second in chips, he eliminated five of eight opponents, including a critical cooler with Ace-Ace against Queens.

He also finished runner-up in the High Roller in Alicante and recorded deep runs in Madrid and Sevilla. He was named a CNP Team Pro in 2026.
Playing Style
At the final table, Fernández displayed sharp instincts, perfect timing, and an ability to sense weakness. He was described as "a masterclass" and "absolute dominance," rarely losing important pots and applying relentless pressure. His style combines patience with aggression when the moment is right.
Personal Touch
Fernández always wears a gold medallion with a photo of his late parents. After his victory, he said, "Money is money, but I've always had a thorn in my side when it comes to the clover. Winning a Main Event is very special." He celebrated simply: "having a few beers with my friends."
