With two players seeing a board of 10♣6♣7♠ and about 20,000 in the middle, Ettore Cuzzone bet 11,000 from the big blind and Guillem Nuez raised to 27,000. Cuzzone made the call.
On the J♠ turn Cuzzone checked and Nuez bet 30,000. Cuzzone then moved all in, covering Nuez who had about 75,000 behind. Nuez went deep into the tank.
Several minutes went by before the clock was called. Not long after Nuez, with a grimace on his face, made the call and was at risk.
Guillem Nuez: 10♥7♥
Ettore Cuzzone: A♠J♥
Cuzzone was in bad shape with top pair against Nuez who had flopped two pair but that all changed when the J♣ river improved Cuzzone to trips.
"Vamos!" Cuzzone shouted, getting up from his seat upon seeing that he had improved to the winning hand.
"I hope you make the final table, celebrating like that" Nuez told his opponent, adding that it would probably be his first time.
"You can't call with that hand. Bingo" Cuzzone replied, referring to the preflop action.
"It was a small squeeze. Why not call? Nuez shot back. A few more heated words were exchanged before Nuez made his exit from the tournament area while Cuzzone dragged in the biggest pot of Day 1c so far.

With four players seeing a board of A♦9♣Q♠K♦ and about 12,000 in the middle, a player in the small blind checked and Fabien Varre bet 4,500 from the big blind. A player from under the gun folded and Hiroyuki Tane folded from the button. The small blind made the call leaving players heads-up going into the river.
The river was the 8♦. The small blind check-called a 7,500 bet from Varre.
Varre tabled J♦10♣ for the nut-straight and took down a decent pot.
