Ruiz's Pocket Eights Hold on High Board

David Sarabia

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Fernando Banda opened to 700 from the hijack and Luis Miguel Ruiz called in the cutoff. The button and big blind also came along.

The flop fell 5♠6♦K♦ and action checked around to Ruiz, who bet 700. Only the big blind decided to continue.

Both players checked the remaining streets, the 3♦ turn and the A♥ river. The big blind showed 7♠6♥, but Ruiz tabled 8♥8♣, which was enough to earn him the pot of nearly 5,000 chips.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Fernando Banda moved all in for his last 4,900 chips from the cutoff and the player to his immediate left, Luis Miguel Ruiz, made the call. The rest of the table got out of the way, setting up a preflop showdown.

Fernando Banda: K♦2♦ All in
Luis Miguel Ruiz: A♦J♣

Banda was in dire need of a king or a deuce to double up. The flop came 5♦4♣9♠, offering no help, but the 2♥ on the turn vaulted him into the lead. The 6♠ river changed nothing, securing a much needed double up for the shortest stack at Table 5.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Cristóbal Ochoa bet 3,500 from early position on a board of 10♠A♦9♠5♣, and both the button and Cristian Ramírez in the big blind made the call.

The river brought the 7♦, and with just 12,000 behind, Ochoa moved all in. The button quickly folded, but Ramírez took a moment before making the call.

Cristóbal Ochoa: K♣J♠ All in
Cristian Ramírez: A♥6♠

Ochoa was drawing dead against Ramírez's top pair and became the first player eliminated on Day 1a of the CNP Winamax Main Event, while his opponent dragged a pot worth more than 30,000 chips.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

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.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Mario Lozada opened from under the gun with 4♥4♦ and picked up four callers, including María López Cubero.

The flop came Q♣Q♥4♠ and Lozada continued for 1,200. Only López Cubero made the call. On the 9♠ turn, Lozada sized up to 2,800 and López Cubero called once more.

The 4♣ river completed quads for Lozada, and he fired a third barrel of 12,000. After a brief pause, López Cubero slid in a blue chip to signal the call, only to see the bad news as Lozada tabled four of a kind.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

With action already underway and more than 12,000 chips in the middle, María López Cubero fired a bet from the hijack for close to the size of the pot on a board of A♦A♠J♦Q♣K♥.

Francisco Martín Garrido, seated in the big blind, went deep into the tank for nearly two minutes before eventually committing a chip to the call.

López tabled 8♣8♠, which was no match for the A♣4♣ of Martín Garrido, who raked in the pot, one of the largest seen so far today.
