Soraya Estrada Claims 4th Place in the Merit Poker Carmen Series Main Event
Spanish poker pro Soraya Estrada delivered a standout performance at the $3,300 Main Event of the Merit Poker Carmen Series in Cyprus, finishing in 4th place and earning $132,100 — the largest cash of her live career.
Held at the Crystal Cove Hotel & Casino, the event attracted 881 players and generated a massive $2,431,560 prize pool. Estrada entered the final table in 6th chip position but quickly climbed the leaderboard after eliminating Daniil Kiselev with pocket aces against queens.
A pivotal hand saw her hit two pair on the river in a multiway pot to take the chip lead, putting her in contention for the title. However, her momentum slowed after a heartbreaking bad beat followed by a cooler against eventual champion Nenad Dukic. In that hand, Dukic’s higher two pair bested Estrada’s, leaving her short-stacked. Despite doubling up twice, she was eventually eliminated in 4th place.

Estrada’s impressive showing solidifies her status as one of Spain’s top female players alongside Ana Márquez and Leo Margets. Her run in Cyprus is a testament to the growing strength of women in the international poker scene.
Congrats, Sory!
