A player in early position raised to 700 before "Sandra" shoved for her last 11,000 in the hijack. The button then reshoved for 28,000, and the early-position player folded, saying he had two eights.
"Sandra": 6♥6♦ 
Button: 3♦3♠
"Sandra" had her opponent crushed with her sixes, and the board ran out A♣7♦10♥7♣6♣ to give her a full house on the river and a double up.
At the same table, Fernando Gatto has built his stack up to around 120,000.
A player in early position bet 1,500 on a flop of K♣3♣4♠ and was called by an opponent in middle position, as well as Gorka Akerreta under the gun.
The early-position player bet another 3,000 on the 2♠ turn, and only Akerreta called this time. The river was the 4♥ and the early-position player bet 10,000.
Akerreta called once more, and his opponent went to muck her cards before turning over 9♠8♠. Akerreta showed K♠7♣ for two pair to win the pot.

Players are going on the first 15-minute break of the day.
Table #3 featuring Inaki Angulo and Jesus "el chur" Ramos will move to the main feature table after the break.
Jesus Ramos bet 2,000 from the big blind on a flop of J♠5♠3♣ and Vincenzo Basile called in middle position.
Both players checked the 10♠ turn. Ramos then led out for 5,500 on the K♦ river, and Basile again called.
Ramos tapped the felt in acknowledgement and turned over 8♣4♣ for a bluff. Basile showed A♥J♦ as he took the pot.
"I got scammed. It was my first hand, too. I just sat down. One of us was going to go all in on the river. He just happened to do it first," Aaron Barone said, still discussing his previous hand after Abelardo Palomares.
Palomares didn't slow down after that, as he three-bet to 2,800 in the small blind. Three opponents called, including Abraham Serrano in the big blind.
Palomares continued for 4,000 on the Q♣6♣2♦ flop, and only the cutoff called. The turn was the 4♣ and Palomares bet 10,000. His opponent folded this time, and Palomares took another pot.
Aaron Barone and Abelardo Palomares built a pot of around 10,000 as they went to the turn on a board of 8♣8♠2♥3♥. Palomares then bet 6,400 from the big blind, and Barone called in middle position.
The river was the 5♣ and Palomares moved all in for 30,000. Barone folded, and Palomares flipped over A♠K♠. "That wins. I can't beat the ace," Barone told him, revealing he had K♥10♥.
"No more showdowns," Palomares added.
"Has to be. You can't bluff two hands in a row. Not allowed," Barone replied.
Jesus "el chur" Ramos has also recently joined the field.
