The cutoff showed A♣2♣ for a wheel straight while Alomar tabled 5♣5♠ for fives full of jacks to take down a sizable pot.
A player from the hijack opened to 1,000 and received calls from Jaume Alomar in the small blind and a player in the big blind.

Both players checked the 7♥ river. The big blind showed K♦5♦ for top pair and a missed flush draw. Alomar tabled K♣10♥ for top pair with a bigger kicker to take the pot.
Paul Runcan opened to 1,000 from the cutoff and received calls from Alexandre Mantovani on the button and Jaume Alomar in the big blind.
