The final six players in the €550 CNP Winamax Main Event have been sent on a 60 minutes dinner break. Play is scheduled to resume at approximately 10:30 p.m. local time.
Last year, the CNP Winamax Main Event in Seville delivered on all fronts — massive numbers, high drama, and a worthy champion.
Portuguese pro Andre Cuco outlasted 919 entries to take home the title and the prestigious CNP trebol trophy at Casino Admiral. This event didn’t just beat last year’s turnout, it smashed it.
Cuco played a brilliant final table, balancing patience with aggression. He came in with the second-biggest stack, trailing only Jaime Lozano, who ultimately finished as the runner-up.

Ante: 200,000
Sergei Krementsukov moved all-in for his remaining 2,200,000 chips and Bruno Simoes, in the small blind, asked for a count. After using a time bank card, the Portuguese player elected to call. However, Manuel Antonio Cordero, in the big blind, reshoved, covering both players. Faced with the additional pressure, Simoes folded his A♦J♠.
Sergei Krementsukov: 4♥4♣
Manuel Antonio Cordero: A♥A♣
Krementsukov was in dire need of one of the two remaining fours in the deck. The flop came J♥J♦5♠, followed by the 5♥ turn, offering no help. The 3♦ river changed nothing, and Krementsukov was eliminated as Cordero's pocket aces held strong.

Immediately following Sergei Krementsukov's elimination, David Algarra opened from early position and Ramón Fernández responded with a three-bet to 1,000,000 from the cutoff. Algarra quickly moved all-in, and Fernández made the call without hesitation.
David Algarra: Q♥Q♦
Ramón Fernández: K♥K♦
The final table witnessed its second consecutive all-in showdown. The flop came 4♦8♠7♦, leaving Algarra needing help, though even a diamond runout would not have been enough. The 4♣ turn and A♣ river failed to improve his hand, and Fernández's kings held firm.
With the pot, Fernández extended his lead and emerged as the clear chip leader.

Bruno David Simoes moved all-in from early position for his remaining 2,300,000 chips. The action folded around to Ramón Fernández in the big blind, who asked for a count before making the call.
Bruno David Simoes: K♣Q♠
Ramón Fernández: A♣5♣
Simoes needed to pair one of his overcards to stay alive, but the board ran out 3♠8♥2♠10♣9♥, offering no help. Fernández's ace-high held up, sending the Portuguese player to the rail in 5th place for €19,000.

Holding more than 130 big blinds, Ramón Fernández moved all-in from the button, covering both players in the blinds. The small blind folded, but Pedro Juan Pérez called off his remaining 1,700,000 chips from the big blind.
Pedro Juan Pérez: A♥4♦
Ramón Fernández: 7♦5♦
The flop came A♦9♠5♣, giving Pérez top pair and the lead. Fernández's rail immediately began calling for a five, but the 2♥ turn offered no help. However, the 5♠ river delivered exactly what Fernández needed, pairing his five and sending Pérez to the rail.
With that elimination, Fernández claimed another pot and the tournament moved into heads-up play.
