A player raised to 4,000 from under the gun and got calls from Javier Gorgolas on the button and Rodrigo Corzo in the big blind.
The flop 
saw the initial raiser continue for 4,000 and Gorgolas was the only caller. The pair checked the 
turn and Gorgolas faced a 15,500 bet on the 
river.
He quickly called, and his opponent showed 
for king-high. Gorgolas showed 
for two pair and won the pot.

Players are going on their final 15-minute break of the day. When they return there will be two more levels before they bag up at the end of Day 1a.
No sooner had Josh Manley doubled through Josee Nogues, Nogues then sent Manley to the rail.
Manley opened to 3,500 and four-bet all in after Nogues three-bet to 12,500. Manley held pocket jacks against the ace-king of Nogues, but they failed to hold and Manley was eliminated.
The flop was 
and Jaime Sanchez checked to his opponent who bet 3,600. Sanchez then check-raised all in for 16,600.
His opponent thought on his decision before tutting loudly and folding his hand, allowing the Manager of the Circuito Nacional de Poker (CNP) to take down a small but meaningful pot.
Josh Manley shoved from early position for his last 13,900.
"I lost a flip," he explained to PokerNews as Josee Nogues called in the next position. The remaining players all folded.
Josh Manley: 
Josee Nogues: 
Manley needed an eight, "or diamonds" he added and the flop 
gave him a pair and the lead. The turn 
did open up counterfeit outs but the river 
bricked and he doubled up.

Blinds: 800/1,600

Some of the bigger stacks have started to emerge from the Day 1a field. They include Antonio Dascenzo who finished fourth in the 888poker LIVE Madrid 2022 Main Event for €28,000.
Following his elimination from the 888poker LIVE Madrid High Roller short of the money, defending 888poker LIVE Madrid Main Event champion Abel Aspas has joined the Day 1a field.
In November 2022, he won €70,000 for taking down the 888poker Live Madrid 20th Anniversary Edition and will be hoping for another deep run three months later.
